Re-Defining Space: The Multi-Functional Imperative in Singapore

Singapore’s compact urban dwellings demand ingenuity. At MRETTY, we engineer multi-functional spaces that evolve with your life—transforming living rooms into workstations, bedrooms into retreats, and dead corners into dynamic storage. Our designs don’t just save space; they amplify it, merging European precision with Singaporean practicality. Using ENF-grade OSB panels (the world’s strictest formaldehyde standard) and aerospace aluminium honeycomb technology, we create lightweight yet ultra-strong structures that withstand humidity while maximizing every square foot.


The MRETTY Method: 5 Steps to Your Dream Space

1. Holistic Space Audits
We map your HDB or condo’s airflow, light, and movement patterns. Long-tail focus: Space Optimization Strategies for Small Homes.

2. Dynamic 3D Simulation
Visualize your multi-functional layout via photorealistic renders—adjusting flow before installation.

3. Precision Crafting
Components are engineered to Singapore’s climate:

  • 25mm thickened panels with J-groove detailing for warp-free durability
  • Hidden hinges enabling seamless convertible spaces (e.g., fold-down desks)
  • E0-coating (5 primers + 3 topcoats) resisting mold and scratches

4. Zero-Dust Installation
Floor-masking protection and modular assembly ensure minimal disruption.

5. Soft Styling Integration
We provide curated decor mood boards aligning with your space’s dual purposes.

“The foldaway desk saved my WFH days. Post-work, it vanishes—the room becomes our family lounge.” – Mrs. Lim


Singapore-Specific Innovations

1. Humidity Warriors: Our E0 finishes and sealed panel edges combat warping—proven in Pasir Ris coastal tests.

2. Space Alchemists: For landed homes like Good Class Bungalows (GCBs), we design:

  • Convertible banquet halls with retractable walls
  • Under-stair libraries with ventilated ENF shelving

3. Compliance Masters: All designs align with HDB and BCA regulations, including fire-rated cores where required.
