Inside A Light Filled 2-Storey Landed Home With Open Entertainment Spaces And An Indoor Tree

In this week’s Living In episode, we tour a landed inter terrace home designed by Jacqueline from Plystudio Architects (she was featured in our podcast in which you can view here). Most people looking to buy a landed home would look to do a complete rebuild, but the clients opted to do an A&A on the existing old landed home.

To combat the usual problems of ventilation and a lack of light, they designed it with 3 insertions, 2 at the front and 1 at the back. This allowed for a skylight that lets a whole lot more light in, and increased the floor size from the existing 180 sqm to 220 sqm. What we really like is the car porch with the hole in the middle to allow for a proper sized tree that lends a lovely sight every time you return home.

fantastic additions! wish could see more of the interior space / tour...

Reallly like the fact that the owners kept it to just 2 floors instead of tearing it down and turn it into a 4 /5 floors house which is so common (& some really ugly) nowadays.

Overall nice.

How do you ensure that the roots of the "growing tree" won't rupture the flooring or tiles around it?

My seemingly harmless potted Xanadu papaya plant caused cracks in the pavement near it.

Very nice and soothing. Enjoyed this one!

[winglesself]

Like the idea of the tree in between, but I am a bit concerned that the tree roots will cause problem in future, or am I thinking too much?

I love the way she explain all the step . New subscriber here 👋🏻

[vanillayogi]

Love air wells and natural light. How much was it to do A&A for this project?

[suranmarthiah]

Nice renovation. I think it is suitable for 2 to 3 occupants. If you have a large family consists of 7-8 members, may not be suitable

HDB interiors these days are matching up with this private house's dinner & living room area.

So, beautifull house design, good video, like and thanks

[allnighterist]

Ceiling fan that spinning fast isnt really helpng to cool down the room temp, hot air goes up so the ceilng fan was just blowing it down back to you.

Lovely. What are the two types of trees you planted?

[averilt]

Just wondering what is so peculiar about the homeowner wanting a large living space for entertainment..

[nursoraya]

this house is so cool, just like those designs i saw in concept home 2030 competition organized by sime darby

[nathanloh]

Nicely thought out but looks expensive..

[elgajoh]

How much sqft could be the front courtyard?

[jozen]

They dont show much of the houses. Watched most of the videos and most of these short videos focuses on the people not the houses. I wish the videos are longer and have more details about the house. Still nice tho. Really like the vibe. Very relaxing

[raysim]

The problem with this type of design with the tree is that the space could have been used for cars instead. For someone whose focus is on entertainment, this design thinking is contradictory. Unless parking space ouside is abundant, but these places do not have reserved lots for owners so it's always a risk.

How much it cost for renovation similar like this?
