A Plumeria Courtyard sits at the heart of the property and at the end of the long driveway. Every arrival back home is a meaningful journey down memory lane, rekindling fond memory of the Plumerias that the Client cherished and once blossomed and graced the garden before the new construction.
A property with a long driveway and surrounded by 5 neighbours in close proximity. Client's brief calls for a new bungalow design that provides privacy from the neighbours and with a new garden that honour the Plumerias that the Client loved and need to be relocated out of the property for the new house construction.
The new residence is designed with a Plumeria Courtyard at the heart of the property. Tall shrubs lined the long driveway framing the Plumeria Courtyard at the end of the driveway. Thus, every arrival back home along the long driveway is a meaningful journey down memory lane for the Client, rekindling fond memory of the Plumerias that the Client cherished and once blossomed and graced the garden before the new construction.
A 2-storey L-shaped house and a pavilion enclose the Plumeria Courtyard. The ascending of the corners of the L-shape house roof and the pavilion roof towards the Plumeria Courtyard resulted in the ceilings of both roofs taking on angular form which become the generator of the design aesthetics for the rest of the house.
The L-shape house roof resembles a hovering boomerang informing the vanity basin design for the Powder Room. The cantilevered soaring Pavilion Roof form inform the basin shape and faucet selection for the Pool Changing Rooms.
The bedrooms on the upper floor are shaded from the western sun by motorised facade louvres featuring a tapered shape that complement with the aesthetics of the angular ceilings of both roofs.
The continuous ceiling and the slim-framed windows at ground floor seamlessly connect the interior spaces with the exterior.
The interior floors, walls and built-in furniture are finished with a material palette of natural complementary tones that blend in harmoniously with the earthy hues of the external garden.
