Ovon Design

During the rounds of ID selection, Zi An impressed us with her responsiveness and space planning that was out of the box compared to the other meetings. In addition to the competitive pricing of the individual quoted items, we found Ovon to be a suitable ID firm to renovate our home. The main issue we had with our resale flat we had was the small kitchen. With the exposed piping, and catering allowance for a service yard, we were looking into creative solutions that could take advantage of the spacious living room to solve our kitchen issue. We decided upon an open concept kitchen to give the kitchen space a light and airy feel, and opted for a front load washer to maximise the countertop space. The kitchen flooring was also raised for us to be able to place our fridge and dining table between the kitchen and living room. The exposed piping was concealed and carpentry was built around it to increase storage. A lot of attention was put into the kitchen and we appreciated the feedbacks from Zi An and Leon guiding us with the layout, colours, materials, and overall design. It has come a long way from our original concept sketches to the place we make gastronomical wonders. But with every reno journey, there are bound to have a couple of hiccups along the way and Zi An, Leon, and especially Annie, played a great deal in helping overcome these issues. With covid delaying several services and delivery, we still managed to keep things mostly to schedule with Annie’s flexibility and coordination. This was especially crucial as we were expecting our child around the same period and we tied in the completion date to my child’s birth day. With the successful handover, we were able to move in exactly one month after our confinement month ended, while allowing the place to air out. We had a few unusual ideas and requests, with our cove lightings, bathtubs, extension of MBR toilet, and vintage window grilles. We were impressed that our ideas were never dismissed and instead was encouraged. Our experience during our inital ID search showed that some designers didn’t share our enthusiasm so we were glad to be able to find a team that can work well together to bring our vision to life. Certain items could just be left to the designers’ discretion and it would fit in perfectly with the aesthetics of the home when we came back to check on the progress. Overall, we had a pleasant experience that we felt was value for money, worked well within our budget, we are pleased with the final results, and the responsive aftersales service. We are to proud to have our home featured in their portfolio. Thank you Zi an, Annie, Leon!

We enjoyed our journey with Leon and Simon on our home renovation. We had a tight budget to work with and they were able to provide valuable advice to help us keep the project within budget without compromising on the design and functionality of the house. Although there were hiccups along the way, what's important was the team was committed to resolving these issues and that really adds to the positive experience. Overall, we are satisfied with the quality and workmanship by Ovon design and would recommend them to our friends and family.

We wanted to have something practical and able to last us for more than 7 years for our first house. After speaking to various IDs, we decided to engage Ovon Design for the renovation work. We would like to thank Ovon Design for the excellent renovation work done for the house and the effort that they put in for the design and smooth communication with us. Overall the whole process was a positive and good experience for us. Firstly, Leon for giving us lots of ideas during our very first appointment with Ovon Design. He is very experienced and able to answer all our queries and concerns as a first time home owner and able to advise us on the practicability and feasibility of our initial idea. Secondly, Gary for being very prompt to our queries and questions. One of our concern was the timeline due to this covid situation. Gary followed very closely with the various contractors and tried his best to ensure the renovation works were completed in the stipulated timeline so that we can move in as soon as possible. After staying in the house for about 1.5 months, we realised that the design was well planned eg there were sufficient table top space in the kitchen for us to work around even after placing the daily necessities. There were enough storage space for us to store our things so we can maintain a clean space. Although there are some areas that can be better planned, we are overall satisfied with the quality and workmanship that was done by Ovon design.

After we have decided to go for the major renovation, we scouted several IDs but were not very convinced from the proposals. I went to Qanvast and was given 3 IDs. Received all 3 proposals and Ovon's was outstanding and yet competitive. Thanks to Leon and Raymond, it make our decision easy. Their proposal has a well balance of new ideas and incorporated our thoughts and addressed some inherent problems we had. Landed house renovation has more considerations with many options and Ovon has leveraged it well. Managed to transform frontyard into a sport area and backyard into a huge, cosy and practical place (wet kitchen, laundry and dinning). We were unable to utilize these 2 areas well for years. Throughout the Covid19 restriction, Ovon managed its resources well and completed the project ahead of time. We had many changed requests (some of them were last minutes) along the way, Leon has been understanding and most helpful. Even both my neighbors started giving jobs to Ovon. Seeing is believing. My wife and I are very delighted with the outcome of the renovation and the whole process was very pleasant. We are thankful and appreciate the hard work put in by Ovon and its contractors. This is a young yet a matured and experienced team you can count on. I am opened to anyone whom is interested to see their achievements. Well done Ovon and all the best !

My family and friends love the beautiful design, finished workmanship and clever space-saving ideas. They also complimented the smooth carpentry finish of my consoles, wardrobe and kitchen cabinets. Both Raymond and Gary have displayed a very high level of understanding of my preferences and needs. They had also been very prompt and responsive to my various queries. They rendered valuable recommendations and tips on renovating my home and also coordinated seamlessly for electrical, plumbing, air-con and other works to ensure the project schedule was completed on time. True professionals and service-oriented, indeed! I would strongly recommend OVON DESIGN to anyone who is looking for an ID that provides bespoke design and all services under one roof. A very satisfied customer, Devi.

When we were looking for an ID to renovate our home, we were hoping to engage one who has great modern design ideas, is flexible, trustworthy, reliable and most of all, provides value for money. We are very glad to have come across Raymond from Ovon Design. Together with Zi An, they really helped us with good recommendations on our design and selection of materials. They sought to listen to us to understand our needs and desires, and demonstrated great patience throughout the entire project. Raymond and Zi An were also flexible in acceding to our various requests and modifications which made us very satisfied. Their friendly nature made working with them a pleasant experience. Implementation was smooth throughout. The outcome is a very lovely and comfortable home! Thank you Raymond and Zi An. We are glad to have found Ovon Design as our interior designer.

We have our place in the not so good condition, we wanted it to be special of course. That's where Renonation recommends Ovon Design. My wife and I never worked with a Interior Designer before but we knew the renovation project was too overwhelming and had no idea where to start. Lucky for us, we found Kate. She had great and creative ideas, was easy to work with, she put in the extra effort to help us furnish our home and best of all, was very mindful of the quality and elegance. Now that our home is done, we couldn't be more pleased. In fact, we recommend her to our relatives that's getting their houses soon.

I had done 3 other renovations for my previous houses and my office previously, hence I have high expectation of what to expect in the IDs and the practicality of the designs. I had a horrible experience with my previous ID which left a design flaw in my current house, that I had to face for the last 10 years. With all these in mind, I am determined to only settle for a design firm and ID whose able to meet my expectation. We first had our online non-obligation discussion with Wai Tuck during CB period. It was inconvenient, but he walked us through patiently for more than 2 hours, using zoom, sharing the floor plan and how it will work out with full visual explanation after we put out the reason for this renovation. Through this discussion, my husband and I were very impressed with his professionalism and expertise of his work. As we are looking at doing a re-layout of the house from an old 3 room HDB flat, to 'transform' into a 4 bedroom house with practical space management. the ID working on this project will have to put these in mind that we do not intend to over-carpentry the place nor causing the place to look claustrophobic. Apart from Ovon, we spoke with some other IDs to compare design and quotation prices, but Wai Tuck won our hearts hands down. Wai Tuck not only cleverly put the rooms into a liveable space, he utilises the 'dead-space' for our display and storage. He is also able to answer our questions with regards to space management with practical ideas and suggestions, putting in mind our priority and concerns. There is definitely, no sales talk and all the payment are based on quotation, in fact a lot of additional work were done which was not charged to our bill. We are really grateful to find such honest and good ID to manage our house. Those of you who had done renovation previously will understand the amount of things we need to consider and manage during the whole process. Wai Tuck is definitely a problem solver for us and helped us to salvage many situations without burning our pockets to do top ups. In the midst of renovations, there were many unforeseen hiccups, but Wai Tuck, handled it professionally, with no fault blaming, no pushing of responsibilities but seeing things resolved professionally, even if it means to absorbs some additional cost and even to make last minute arrangement for additional workers to fix up what was originally not in the plan. Some were fault caused by my other sub contractor, yet Wai Tuck, took it upon himself and ensure he sees through the work to perfect completion. There was a miscommunication of the glass door placement, I made known to Wai Tuck, we will not be able to accept if it was the other way round. With no argument nor fault chasing, Wai Tuck immediately called his supplier to make the necessary change. Right before my eyes, I saw how he was trying to explain to his guys that this work needs to be put on hold as there will be changes. With all patience, putting down his foot that this change will be done. I can tell the supplier is likely scolding him over the phone as he kept apologising and making it known to them firmly that this glass door will not be fixed the way they discussed previously. I am convinced that the ID we had selected is definitely a promising young man in this industry as he has the capacity to handle mistakes and see to the solution promptly. On top of all these stresses that occurs, Wai Tuck kept in mind of our budget and gave many practical suggestion to save cost and to helped to ensure minimum delay to the renovation work. Another thing that I am very particular about will be 'after payment services'. After we made our last payment, there were still some minor work to be done. I was waiting to see if it will slack in the work or 'forgotten'.(it happened for my previous renovation) But Wai Tuck continue to update us promptly and ensure the seeing of those work to be completed to satisfaction. He even continue to be present at the time of those work done to ensure the completion of the work with no error. Many friends who came to visit us during Christmas, were impressed with the way the house was re-layout. Not only we have enough space to host guest, the new layout also enhanced the wind movement in the house. The place is now much more airy and we can even feel 'wind movement' which we never did the past 10 years staying in the same unit. I will highly recommend anyone to Wai Tuck and Ovon Design, their professionalism and services definitely match the bill and above!

Leon’s quotation catch our eyes as it tailored for our needs (both space and $$$ constraint) compared to others. While other ID simply tell us “things cannot be done this way” or “nobody can meet this kind of budget”, Leon spend time to explain and suggest us with out of the box solution. We would strongly recommend Ovon if you are looking for sincere renovation solution provider. May not the best but we are satisfy with the end result, the advice and professional help provided by Ovon. Thanks Ovon and we are happy to move in to our new home!

Thank you, Leon and his team for a great job done with our dream home design especially during circuit breaker period. Our ID Leon was very patient and responsive throughout the whole renovation journey. Till now he still giving us assistance whenever we seek for help. Project supervisor Annie was very supportive and help to coordinate with various contractors to ensure the renovation schedule is completed within the timeframe. We are pleased with the overall outcome and also the quality of carpentry workmanship. We highly recommended the firm and ID Leon.
