What This Site Covers
Farleigh Home is a collection of topic-focused articles on residential living in Singapore. The content addresses decisions that residents of HDB flats and condominiums encounter regularly — furniture selection and layout, workspace organisation, climate management, noise reduction, and the regulations that govern what can and cannot be modified in rented or owned apartments.
The focus is on information specific to Singapore's residential context: the floor plan constraints of HDB layouts, the rules that govern renovations, the effects of year-round tropical humidity on materials and interiors, and the practical realities of living in high-density buildings where tens of thousands of people face the same set of challenges.
Approach to Content
Each article aims to be factual and specific rather than general. The goal is to describe conditions, dimensions, regulations, and practical considerations accurately — not to advocate for particular products, brands, or approaches. Where specific items or retailers are named, it is because they are widely available in Singapore and relevant to the topic at hand, not because of any commercial relationship.
Information draws on publicly available sources: HDB guidelines and published documentation, manufacturer specifications, occupational health literature, and general knowledge about tropical building conditions. Where regulations or conditions change over time, readers are directed to verify current requirements with the relevant authority.
Current Focus
The site currently covers home office organisation in Singapore apartments — furniture for compact spaces, methods of zoning shared rooms without structural modifications, and ergonomic setup for people working long hours from home. These three areas address the most common practical questions that arise when a Singapore apartment needs to function as a workspace as well as a home.
