the rooms

Living room

Anchored by a vintage Spanish burl coffee table, with Jaymar leather tongue chairs from the early 2000s and a set of 1980s Arrben dining chairs from Italy. Each piece was chosen deliberately. Warm afternoon light from the west. Reads well from wide and from close.

Kitchen

Concrete and stainless backsplash, dark teak lower cabinets, industrial range hood. Honest and textured without being styled to within an inch of its life. Suited to food, lifestyle, and product work that wants a real domestic context.

Study

The primary shooting space. A Danish secretary desk, a vintage Henry Schubell wingback armchair, and louvre blinds that break afternoon light into soft horizontal bands. Well suited to portraits and editorials that call for stillness over spectacle.

Bathroom

Dark forest-green narrow tile from floor to ceiling, a warm pendant overhead, artwork on the shelf and a trailing plant. Moody and specific in a way most bathrooms are not. Strong for beauty, skincare, and intimate portrait work where the environment needs to hold its own.

Frequently asked questions

You get access to all five rooms (living room, kitchen, dining area, study, and bathroom) for the duration of your booking. Wifi and air conditioning are included, as is the use of all furniture and objects in situ. The kitchen is available for prep. You're welcome to bring your own props and equipment, and there's no restriction on your own photographer or videographer.
Yes, always. Space-only hire is fully self-directed — bring whoever you're working with. If you'd prefer an in-house photographer, that's the space + photographer option: Elle shoots your booking. It's a separate rate and subject to Elle's availability, so it's worth enquiring early if you have a specific date in mind.
Two dogs live here, so the space is very much pet-friendly in spirit. They'll be out during your booking. If you'd like to bring your own pet for a shoot, just mention it when you enquire and we'll sort it out.
Yes. You're welcome to bring your own food and drinks for the team. The kitchen is available for prep and light use. Please note this is a home, so we ask that it's left as found. Any damages to furniture or surfaces may incur additional charges.
The space is available daily from 8am to 10pm, with a 3-hour minimum for all bookings. If you need an early call time or a longer production window, just ask on WhatsApp and we'll see what's possible.
Cancellations made within 24 hours of booking confirmation receive a full refund. Cancellations 7 or more days before the booking receive a full refund. Cancellations 3–7 days before receive a 50% refund. Cancellations within 3 days of the booking date are non-refundable. If you need to reschedule, get in touch and we'll do our best to accommodate.
Message us on WhatsApp. Share your preferred date, how long you need, what you're shooting, and how many people will be on set. We'll confirm availability and send through the details!
Yes, it's a five-room HDB flat in Tengah. The space is well-suited to photo and video productions, brand campaigns, content shoots, and small private gatherings. For specific questions about your shoot type or production needs, please enquire directly. We'd rather have a conversation than turn anyone away based on an assumption.
