Willow House is a home for a young family that takes advantage of its hilltop position by opening up the building plan, making the most of the prevailing breezes and of what little wind there is in Singapore. Orientation and massing of the house was instrumental in encouraging these breezes.
This was intended to be a home with soul, so designing where a family could live together and interact together was always part of the brief, and the design seeks to reflect this. Nature was brought in as much as possible in the relatively dense urban environment of Singapore.
