BECA-House
Singapore
Brief
The homeowners’ request was simple: they wanted spacious, well-ventilated areas with a green influence that catered to the needs of their paternal grandparents. This resulted in a home with multiple uses of spatial borrowing, defined by nigh perfect rectilinear lines.
From the entrance, the wide porch is angled like a shoebox, connected to the main block with aluminium louvre patterns. The porch accompanies a retained Bucinda Tree and garden plot, with an undulating pebble and granite pathway as a gentle transition from greenery to the interiors.
The Communal Space
A common challenge in Singapore is the proximity of neighbours, which led to the facade sporting distinctive aluminium screens throughout the second and third levels, adding privacy to the interiors.
Surrounded by tinted floor-to-ceiling windows that borrow the surrounding greenery, the living room is the main area for all three generations to congregate. The clean space combines the seating area, dining area and dry kitchen, all with pure grey marble flooring. A quartz countertop faces the sitting area, with convenient built-in appliances against wooden laminated cabinetry.
Sisterhood on the Second Level
The cantilevered teak stairs leads to a clean approach by way of wooden wall panels, revealing the daughters’ rooms. Connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, it was the owners’ intent to maintain interaction between the siblings.
Planter boxers and draping vegetation demarcates the level, softening the exterior façade and elevating the garden feel. A plywood spray-painted veneer wall leads to the family room, with similar traits from the main living room.
A Master Bedroom to Envy
A similar design language continues on the third level, unveiling the master bedroom and grandparents’ room. A shared but divided teak deck provides spatial freeplay for a rattan day bed or even a hammock.
The grandparents’ room features antique dark wood furniture almost 50 years old; heirloom pieces that preserve a sense of familiarity for the elderly couple.
In the master, the master bed faces the deck, allowing the owners to rise with the sun’s morning rays. An entire wall was dedicated to a meticulously designed wardrobe for the couple. The master bathroom is screened by planters and aluminium louvres, giving a resort-like experience of showering amongst nature.
Going green, the home’s rooftop solar panels reduce daily energy consumption while the abundance of greenery provides visual comfort and naturally cools the house. The louvres, in turn, redirect incoming sunlight away from the interiors.
