Raymond and Perlinda came highly recommended by a couple of friends. We first met Raymond in September. We shared with Raymond our must haves (e.g. full length mirror & ceiling fans) as well as the tight timeline - we need to move in latest by 3rd week of December.
The interactions with Raymond from day 1 had been easy and straightforward. He was able to provide 3D rendering on our second meetup. We were pleasantly surprised that he was able to nail pretty almost everything we asked for and more. There were some edits but the final plan was close to his first 3D rendering.
Perlinda was our assigned Project Manager. The dynamics between Raymond and Perlinda were amazing. They conducted several site measurements, very detailed orientated and gave many helpful practical suggestions from their past experiences. There were couple of unforeseen hiccups but Raymond and Perlinda were quick to follow up and solved them. When faced with a challenging false ceiling fabrication due to our development build, Raymond was able to tweak his design and make adjustments.
Perlinda's Project management skills was fantastic. The coordination between her, Raymond, carpenters and vendors were seamless. Raymond and Perlinda were able to complete the whole project almost 1 week ahead of schedule, which speaks volume of the commitment and focus they put to ensure timeline is adhere to.
Overall, it was a fantastic and smooth experience with Raymond and Perlinda. Would highly recommend them for sure!

I can't say enough good things about FSI! From the very start, they listened closely to our vision and executed it flawlessly. Our interior now mirrors exactly what we had in mind—down to the finest details. Designers Raymond and Brandon truly went above and beyond. Their expertise, creativity, and attention to detail were evident in every step of the process, and their dedication to meeting our high standards was unmatched. They kept us informed throughout the entire project, offering valuable insights and making sure everything was perfect. The finished result is nothing short of spectacular, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Highly recommend this team for anyone looking to bring their dream space to life! 👍🏻

I am so deeply appreciative of Raymond for arranging the repair of the sliding mechanism of my wardrobe. I engaged Raymond to renovate my master bedroom more than 10 years ago. Recently there’s issue with the sliding door of the wardrobe. When I contact Raymond, he took the trouble to arrange the carpenter to come to my place to take a look and subsequently the replacement of the sliding door mechanism. Both Raymond & the carpenter, Mr Du Mong Chao are very professional & the repair works went well. My renovation 10 years ago was also very well done. Very thankful to both Raymond & Mr Du & team for all the hard work and the willingness to undertake the repair despite renovations completed more than 10 years. Highly recommend Free Space Intent.

I am so deeply appreciative of FSI for the renovation of my home. Raymond, Perlinda and Kaden made the renovation process so easy and were truly excellent examples of what a good interior design team should be. Throughout the process they have been flexible, adaptable and very solution-oriented. There are several key features in our home that were suggestions from them and we deeply love them, like the glass wall made of vintage glass blocks. They also worked around our requests customising to our requests like a custom drawer for my various baking trays and a tall, narrow cupboard for our yard (I wanted one to fit our ironing board). While it’s clear FSI has a distinctive (and beautiful!) style, Raymond and Kaden were very open to our requests and made sure we made the design ours. The work done on the home is truly professional, Perlinda’s project management is top notch and we had our house in three short months even though we had to tear the house and build from scratch. We spent majority of those months out of the country but could trust Perlinda to take care of everything and rarely had to check in. The home was close to move in condition when we were back. Trustworthy, careful and also very particular (more than us!) they’re what you imagine a good interior design team is supposed to be. Our home is beautiful and matches the renderings so closely. Very thankful to them for all the hard work!!

I was looking for an interior designer who can transform my specific needs and preferences into living spaces that truly reflect my personality and lifestyle. I gone as far as getting the 3D models done with one designer but decided to engage Raymond from Free Space after introduction from a trusted friend.
Dedication is one of the hallmarks of Raymond's work ethic. He and his Project Manager, Perlinda, invest considerable time and effort into understanding my vision and bringing it to life with meticulous attention to detail. Their commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of the design process, from initial consultations to the final touches.
With years of experience as a bespoke interior designer, Raymond brings a wealth of knowledge and experience. This enables him to navigate challenges effortlessly and provide innovative solutions that enhance the functionality and aesthetics of any space. He has an innate ability to blend colors, textures, and materials in a way that creates harmony and beauty. His designs are not only visually stunning but also thoughtfully curated to evoke a sense of comfort and well-being.
What sets Raymond and Perlinda apart from other designers are their realistic approach to design. They have a keen understanding of practical constraints and budget considerations, ensuring that the outcome is both achievable and sustainable. This pragmatic perspective, combined with artistic flair, results in interiors that are both beautiful and livable.
This is my 4th time having a new house and I am determined to make it different. Raymond truly lives up to his reputation as a bespoke designer who bring fresh ideas to compliment my needs and preference.
In summary, Raymond and Perlinda are consummate professionals whose personalized service, dedication, experience, artistic talent, and realistic approach make them an outstanding choice for anyone looking to transform their living space. Working with them has been a delightful and rewarding experience, and I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking top-notch interior design to transform their lifetime living space.

We decided to go with FSI after meeting our designer, Brandon, as we felt we were on similar wavelengths and quite liked his layout and design proposal.
Renovation proposals were kept within budget and Brandon was patient and receptive with various design changes we made, offering constructive suggestions along the way.
Brandon kept us updated with the renovation progress frequently and responded to queries and changes quickly. He was also present when we had to choose our lighting and tiles and offered his much valued insight and opinion.
There were a couple of hiccups along the way and workmanship could have had more finesse and attention to detail. These were mostly minor issues and we’re pretty happy with the overall result.
We’re pleased we went with FSI and had Brandon as our designer!

Renovating a home is a highly personalised and often stressful event, but with Leon, we found a reliable and patient interior designer who offered good advice while listening to our needs. This was our second time working with Leon and his team at FSI. Both times, Leon delivered wonderfully, and we want to share our experience so more homeowners can enjoy peace of mind during the renovation process.
Leon is not afraid to push the envelope when it comes to design, and he has a keen awareness of practical living needs, which we highly appreciate. His experience shines through when minor hiccups occur. We felt assured and knew that our home was in steady hands throughout the process.
Pricing-wise, although FSI is in the upper-middle range, the partners they work with are professional and offer excellent products and services. Overall, we are very pleased with what we received from FSI and their partners. We would definitely return to Leon and FSI in the future if the opportunity arises.
Heartfelt thanks to Leon and the team for giving us a lovely home to live in again.

We were on a tight timeline when we first met Brandon and we can’t be more thankful for his help, making it seamless and possible for us to
move into our new home before CNY! His design is creative and practical, and tailored for our preferences. Along the way, he provided us options and gave us his honest opinions. We highly recommend Brandon if you are looking for professionalism, quality and dedication.

We decided to speak with FSI after looking thru a few ID companies and their designs; Raymond’s house caught our eyes actually. Raymond and Kaden were our designers, and Perlinda helped us manage the project when renovation started in mid Dec 23.
From the very first discussion with them somewhere in Sep 23, our renovation journey had been rather smooth. They were patient when we gave them a long shopping list of requirements (first meeting). When we were trying to visualise things (as I had no artistic mind), Kaden never hesitated to sketch or do up drawings to help us visualise. The unlimited number of drawings helped for sure, although we went thru maybe 3-4 iterations (with numerous discussion sessions in between). We had limited time to meet up and couldn’t meet on Saturdays, so all our discussions took place on weekday nights, generally from 8-11pm++, and they were ever accommodating. When our reno started proper, we found that we could entrust the whole project to them, and I didn’t have to keep checking in or ask for progress; Perlinda and Kaden were always forthcoming in providing updates and photos onsite; we literally only went down maybe once a week to take a look, and that was about it.
FSI proposed various designs and was daring in playing with a load of colours, which I found rather interesting and fresh. And we took the colours.
Couldn’t be happier after having moved into our new home about 3wks ago. There were minimal defects, and they were quick to respond and help to arrange for rectifications; other small things are areas that I can accept. FSI assured us of continued support if we had any other things to highlight, and I’m sure they will deliver.
Tbh, I’m sure they’re not the cheapest ID company in the market, but we don’t regret it. Their patience and service, attention to details, and attitude won us over.
P/S: Take a look at the pics; there’re both 3D drawings and actual pics taken.
