New York State Of Mind
A couple recreates their Brooklyn home in Singapore.
GUNJAN AND SHOWBHIK Kalra returned to Singapore in 2011, but they haven't forgotten the seven years they spent in New York before then.
For the couple - who are both in the finance industry - one of their fondest memories was their townhouse in Brooklyn. So much so that when they were designing their home in Bukit Timah, ''we wanted to recreate that feel in Singapore,'' says Mrs Kalra.
Of course, their architect Matthew Lai of MU Architects couldn't possibly create a brownstone out of their two-storey bungalow with attic, but he could certainly incorporate their distinctive elements into the design.
