A Modern Family Home In Singapore.
This modern family home is located right across the street from a green park with a playground and a series of mature rain trees that soar ten to fifteen meters above the pavement. The master bedroom and top terrace were designed with direct views of the park's beautiful green canopies created by the rain trees. A family home for a young couple with a young child was requested by the customer. Since privacy was crucial on the first floor, we reinforced the exterior wall with the exception of a small glass viewing window facing the street. We created a set of sliding screens on the second level to block views from oncoming passersby looking into the master bedroom.
The notion to create these framed vistas of the park inspired the external design of the buildings. By maximizing the openings on the building's front elevation, powerful rectilinear forms were created, which were then filled with movable timber screens for privacy when needed. The structural parts' chamfers were used to refine the building's mass and produce a subtly light tone. Light colors were chosen for the materials, including Bulgarian limestone for the exterior, off-form concrete for the internal walls, and brushed oak paneling.
In order to enter the house, one must pass through a series of areas, each with a different scale of heights and level of light. This entry experience was specifically planned and created to do this. The living and circulation areas are centered on an interior open courtyard, which serves as the layout's focal point. This creates an interior paradise with views of beautiful landscape and water to relax the inhabitants' senses and serves as a buffer between them and the main street. The courtyard brings in daylight, breeze, and ventilation deep inside the house and blends nature into the living area, focusing on a single Caesalpinia tree. It was designed to rely entirely on natural illumination during the day.
We also added a courtyard and a double-height gap over the dining area and dry kitchen, with a little reading nook on the second floor above. The master bedroom is in the front of the house, while the two kids' bedrooms are in the back. The library serves as a link between those two rooms. In terms of sustainability, the home is made to completely rely on natural lighting during the day. The third-story level's huge openings allow light, wind, and breeze from the courtyard to enter the home. Incorporating nature into their living space increases the overall livability of the house and provides for cross-ventilation at the dining/dry kitchen. The house uses tropical architectural features like sun canopies and screens, which are crucial.
