How families shape
their homes

Every home has a story. Our journal follows the journeys of residents who have shaped their KMB spaces into something uniquely theirs.

Open-plan kitchen transformation in La Palazzo 5th floor residence

Three + Company

Four bedrooms were one too many for a young family of three who had returned to India after many years abroad. We customised their four bedroom apartment into a three bedroom home with a sprawling open plan living space and a home office.

Open kitchen with seamless flow to dining and living areas

Open living

Since they love to cook and entertain, an open kitchen with zero walls between the dining, living and media rooms made perfect sense — and brought back memories of the loft they loved back in Brooklyn.

The bookworm's nook

Avid readers and film buffs, the family opted to knock down a wall and turn the spare bedroom into a fabulous home library.

Home office converted from staff quarter with independent entrance

Work from home

The staff quarter with its independent entrance made for the ideal home office — just a step away from home, yet a world away from its distractions.

Bigger Together

A home for mom, dad, the kids and the grandparents — not to forget, all the aunts, uncles and cousins who swing by for the summer. We combined two apartments into a duplex with an internal staircase for a modern Indian joint family.

01

Two homes in one

The duplex allowed for private spheres within the large family house, giving each generation their own space. Heavy duty diamond cutters bore through the slab between the two floors to make room for a custom staircase.

02

Larger shared spaces

The guest bedroom in the lower floor was knocked down to create a larger living and dining space — seven bedrooms were more than enough!

03

Kitchen and co.

While the main kitchen was extended in the lower floor, the kitchen upstairs was turned into a smaller pantry to make way for a large family and media room.

Why we build flexible

The philosophy behind column-beam construction and how it empowers residents to reshape their homes as life evolves. Why settle for cookie-cutter homes, when you can plan your own?

How the same space is used can vary significantly between families and across different stages of life. A KMB home is tailored to you — the bones of all our residences are built to maximise flexibility.

Columns, beams and plumbing lines are planned to allow customisation.
