Terracing the Terrace

Singapore 

Size: 2500 sf 

This is a 3 storey inter-terrace house nestled in a prime district of Singapore. The architecture terraces from a single storey volume at the front to a 3 storey volume at the rear terminating with a dramatic double height family/guest and entertainment room. These terracing creates expansive outdoor spaces that become extensions of the interiors, used for lounging, and as work out areas. It also affords panoramic views to distant landscape and at the same time privacy from street level due to sightline cut off.  

The open plan within the interior allows natural light to penetrate from the front and rear of the house - allowing light to bounce light around surfaces, creating a sense of airiness and lightness to the interiors. 

Level 2 house bedrooms for the family with an open office for communal use. 

Level 3 is a celebrated 2 storey volume purposed as entertainment area, guest room and family get together. 

The architecture choreograph one’s journey  from the most public arena entrance gate to the inner sanctum of the family gathering room on the 3rd level.

Concept for an Multi-Generation Home

Singapore 

Size: 5000 sf

This is a concept proposal for an multi-generational home featuring a mezzazine floor, sunken living room, double volume interior and a luxe master-bedroom suite with panoramic view to its surroundings. The architectural design maximizes the envelope enclosure permitted by the city resulted in 3 pristine elegant volumes butted against each other expressed via shadowlines. The facade is a simple interplay of solid/void and recesses that birth shadows and depth conjuring subtlety that gives a quiet presence to the neighborhood. Strong interior architectural articulation accentuates the interior volume while receiving the afternoon light and shadows that animates the space.
