THE APARTMENT HOUSE
Seletar Close, Singapore, Singapore
The scale and programme of the house suggests more of a
communal dwelling for a multi-tier family. The family called for a design that
can accommodate a long wish list of desires of every members and the
flexibility for change and expansion of the household. The house is organized in two linear volumes, split by a
common pool in the middle but connected on the upper floors by the family
space. The 2-storey volume houses the parents’ master en-suite on the upper
floors, floating above the main living space. A lawn garden sits above on the
roof. The 3–storey block primarily, apart from the dining and kitchen on the
ground floor, are tailored to the lifestyles of the 3 siblings yielding to
their individual narratives. Apart from this tall list of specificities, the house design
has to accommodate for change. This incidentally explains its relatively simple
form and raw finish. At the macro scale, the two volumes can be sub-divided
into 2 separate bungalow plots with minor alteration to the existing structures.
Internally, the spaces are organized to be easily re-configurable as the
service spaces and circulation are arranged neatly to one side. This allows
most of the room to have high ceiling spaces (to the slab) without the need for
false ceiling.
The challenge brought us to engage the very traditional
Asian Concept of Multi-generation Living in our modern ageing society and to
address the differences in habits, desires, taste or even the potential
tensions between individuals or sub-families.
