"I love natural light and my house reflects my personality," said Grace Tan, a professional photographer who believes that landed property makes a better lifelong investment.

Besides her passion for photography, Grace has also been interested in film-making. In fact, for five years, the former film editor was involved in the production of the award-winning 3R(respect, relax and respond) television programme that focuses on women's issues.

Therefore, with her creative eye for the play of light and shadow, Grace's desire for a home must not only conform to her sense of aesthetics but to her family's need for space and privacy.

Grace and her entrepreneur husband Alex Lam, moved into their double-storey, terraced house last August after renovations.

The new home not only include a mini-theatre that can accommodate the couple's love for movies but an open-concept bathroom.

With a generous built-up space of 325.2sq m (3,500sq ft), the five-bedroom home on a corner lot, is shared with Grace's parents and a maid.
