Once a standard HDB flat with basic finishes and fixtures, the colourful and quirky 401e has been transformed into a practical and adaptable home, seamlessly transitioning from an intimate space for two to an inviting setting for friends and family. Designed by Jade Cham of knock knock studio, alongside owners Jackie, an illustrator, and Tobbie, a jiu jitsu instructor. Key design interventions included integrating storage solutions, custom furniture and cool colour schemes. A standout addition is a full length built-in storage bench in the open plan dining and living space, which includes a pull-out bench for additional dining seating and discreetly stowing away sporting gear. A curated gallery wall in the space displays art pieces by both Jackie and the couple’s friends, along with cherished mementos from their travels. By taking every little lifestyle detail taken into account, this design truly illustrates how there is always room for playfulness and personal touches

Way way way WAAAAAAY more personality than your standard 2rm HDB, so glad to see Singapore homes being represented here =D
Love to see it 🌈
Yes ❤ 🌈
Yes none of that Japandi nonsense
This is probably the most realistic small space they've shown. Clearly lived in AND livable.
most people live on less sqm.
AND more affordable as well, Hehe
This is not a house, this is a HOME. So much love and personality go into this! And the floor plan? I AM IN LOVE
This one feels like its going back to the channel's roots. Actually small and smart storage. Love it!
THE FLOOR PLANS AT 0:30 OMG SO ADORABLE
I KNOW RIGHT
I am 100% stealing that idea for myself I love it
Yes, so full of personality and much more vibrant than a typical floor plan!
A fun, wacky but functional floor plan!
Like it 😊
YASS it's def going into my final project, that's so cool
Loving the illustrated floor plans at the beginning. Nice to see fellow Singaporean illustrators being featured!
Yes those were amazing…
I'm from SG and this is by far the best designed and functional singaporean home I have seen from this channel....absolutely lovely and truly a home sweet home!! ❤
So much to love in this home! Minimal but not sterile, plenty of storage, COLOR!!!, versatility, personality and privacy. Brilliant!!
This is hands down the BEST house you have shown! I love how there's actual separation of the kitchen from the living space so you can really chill watching TV or something, and the distribution of everything ia just SO perfect. And my God the bedroom has actual privacy, sheesh! Seriously, the speed with which I would hire them! 🙀
This is such a lovely, cozy space. Just the right size, and maximised well. I especially like bench/storage in the living room. And happy to see Singapore's HBDs featured here. Singapore has such an exemplary public housing policy.
The swis army knife analogy is a perfect way to describe the versatility of well designed, small spaces.
They did a great job of blending practicality with their personalities to create a space that is uniquely them.
Well done!
I think that's my favourite house/episode until now. Love all the choices, especially the pull up bar.
Thank you for showcasing a project clearly done on a budget. It was refreshing to meet the homeowners, as well.
Yeah no custom commissioned hooks from unoubtainum xD
The style in this home is absolutely brilliant.
Really loving the personality in this living space. Its gorgeous
A stand out video and on Never Too Small to date. The convex mirror is too cool. What a great job indeed, it comes across as well thought out and attention to personal detail.
Easily my favorite so far. Separating spaces with actual doors is so important for smells, noises, vibes. Also I'm very envious that Singaporeans have a government that provides nice, affordable public housing.
I love the simplicity of this apartment. It screams their personality. It’s very evident that every piece and item in this house is consciously chosen like they said. Loved it.
One of my favs so far! Love the bold choices and the clever yet simple made but beautiful solutions love that they call it hustle furniture I’m now also reallly inspired to find orange bed sheets for summer 🍊
One of my favourites! I especially love the front closet with the hidden second door
This is one of my favourites! I keep coming back to it to get ideas and inspiration. Absolutely love it
Putting two frames next to each other, with one being a digital frame, is very smart and clever. I'm so impressed.
I like that this one actually seems to have a decently-sized bathroom. So many of these small space homes have teeny little bathrooms with very small showers or sinks, but this one seems pretty normal, even while it maximizes the way it uses the space.
The Pullup bar setup is amazing. Crazy nice setup
Wow! So much beauty and liveability in such a compact place. Very pretty interiors, smart use of excellent and transformative materials. I LOVE that the kitchen/laundry room has its own set of doors. Well done.❤
This home is inspirational, because the investment has been put into the function and beauty but not with completely unaffordable materials. It looks achievable! LOVE the hidden storeroom.
Bravo! This space doesn't feel small at all.
this is probably my favorite interior design that I've seen thus far. love the vibrant and playful aesthetic.
What a nice place! Really liked how the personality of the homeowners was reflected in the design of the interior. Would see myself living there too hahah
Love the floor plans! But also that wall bench storage box with a moveable storage bench for extra seating around the table is fantastic!
A couple as cool as their home :)
What a lovely, mindful space 😊
I love the name side hustle furniture! What a great way to think of it. This is a great space, and I'm sure it's a delight to live in it.
My favourite episode this year! Beautiful home.
An excellent and very efficient use of space with a neutral colour palette and nice high ceilings which certainly make the apartment seem twice as large.
The warm wood tones of the flooring and custom cabinetry as well as all of the personal decorative touches around the apartment make it a very inviting space; not cold or bland at all.
Bravo! :)
i like almost everything about this apartment, so thoughtful and practical. love how colourful and the characteristic it filled up the space.
The colors in the apartment are incredible. It gives the place a very good contrast
ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS 😍
I lovvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeee the colours!!!!! really board spectrum of imagination to liven up a space. i ll be dreaming about this in my sleep.
These two really are living their best life 😃 A beautiful flat the inspires creativity.
I am in love with the green bi-fold door!!!
That convex mirror is so cute.
love this feature, definitely reflects design sensibility and efficiency as well as the needs of a tropical / SEA home especially with the laundry and kitchen smells
This is so well-designed that it doesn't feel like a 2 room flexi! love the personality of the house and the colours
This is a fantastic space/home! One of my favourites on this channel!
I think this is one of te most beautiful bathroons i ever saw on this chanel, i will take notes to whem i make mine
The glass doors are really beautiful and surprisingly warm feeling due to colour.
Love Love Love! A well thought out and functional space with personality to boot 😍😍😍
Like they say " A home is where the heart is.." Truly!
That bathroom is immaculate, my favourite I've seen on the channel
very beautiful. Happy for you. Thank you for sharing. Really love your home. It’s amazing what you’ve made out of the space. so much love.
What a fantastic, colourful place. I also live in Singapore in a 4 bed place….with no storage. This place is genius…..so much storage and so much thought❤
One of the best projects feachured in 2024 for me.
This apartment really feels like home. I love it!
Truly beautiful. A nice work of art.
This is very inspiring. A small space that doen’t feel cramped. Thanks for showing us your home. Now I want to have a pull up bar and your solutions are very clever! Well done! ❤
That's awesome, took a lot of screen shots. Thanks to all of you for creativity and mellow vibes
There is so much personality and so many clever and simple solutions to this home, it's a pleasure to watch!
This very much feels like design at its best. ♥
Oh and the illustrations at 0:30 was such a beautiful touch!
This apartment is such adorable!!! I love the door' color and bathroom tile!!!
Love their work and also their place!!!
The floor plan illustration is so cool
I love everything about the apartment's floor plan and design.
Beautiful well designed throughout ❤
I really like how the kitchen is it's own room, and the bifold door works perfectly. I really can't stand stinking up my entire house with cooking smells.
Also reduces the amount of heat in the house during the summer
Thanks for sharing this vlog. Amazing 2-room design apartment over in Fernvale, Sengkang, it doesn’t look small after they have designed.
It is so surreal, I am also living near their apartment in Fernvale, Sengkang. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home.
Wow! Beautiful designed and thought out
0:33 waittt… this is cute😍
That green paint is just lovely!!! Pragmatic and lived in space,,,
Stunning! The art scene in SG is so bold, brilliant and cool.
fave so far! I actually paused halfway thru to grab my journal to write down some ideas/inspo for my place!!!
The Jiu Jitsu belt art is very tasteful and subtle
where is it ..i cdnt find it
The artist's house is very unique and impressive, with very clever use of space.
Love love love this 2 room BTO HDB design! Gives other young peeps ideas on how to make it nicer than the standard HDB designs loll
This, by far, is the best I've seen! Smart and full of personality. 🔥🙌
Very clever storage solutions.
Love the colour of the tiles in the bathroom RICH and gorgeous 😍
I just wish they embraced colour on the walls and plywood. Walls a very light blue and the plywood primary colours.
I love seeing the wall full of art.
Really smart and clever design that suits the occupants. Love that bathroom.
This was soo good! What a great design, loved seeing their personalities reflected in the home. 10/10!
Absolutely in love with this one! ❤
Design for the people who will live in the apartment. More personal it could not be. You feel it with the way the showing flows. ❤
MY FAVORITE
I looove the kitchen and glossy tiles in the bathroom, something I would never have thought of for me personally. But it just works and looks beautiful.
SOOO much personality here. Loving it!!
Wow, I love so much about this space. The accent colors, the windowed doors, and especially the show nooks to hide toiletries. Great work, all around.
I don't know why, I like the green color of this home, it's looks very fittest so well
i absolutely adore this home
so tastefully done and as a fellow illustrator it's so fun to see the personality and color!
Singapore Represent! I'm getting a smilier size apartment next year and this is another inspo for my board!:)
Love it, please feature more small HDB homes from SG!
Wow this is impressive!
The pull out bench chair was good tho,kinda remind me of vanity chair that you can put in between the self of vanity so make it neat and clean look🎉
Those illustrations at 0:31 are fantastic!
Loved to see a Friedhats bottle in your kitchen. Beautiful flat.
So many good ideas! Congratulations on making the most out of your space!
i love this, it exactly conveys my lifestyle, has everything i need to function
really functional and well thought out, loved it. Colors are vibrant as well.
Singapore homes are usually small so this is very typical designed home in Singapore nonetheless I appreciate they did not go for monochromatic or neutral colours and adding mirrors all around. The different elements of steel door and that wardrobe looks different material too. Also feels like there are colours of the rainbow in the house.
Thank you for representing Singapore 🇸🇬
This is so denius and beautiful! I wish i lived in something like this!
Great design, playful and cosy
this house is so cozy I love it!
