The design brief called for the overall architectural & interior design to demonstrate a distinctive blend of contemporary and oriental design elements. In doing so, the design is to exude an eclectic charm that makes this home unique. Further, the home was to have a feeling of openness and being in close connection with Nature.
It was important to have a well-considered layout which offers versatility and flexibility and a myriad of spaces to accommodate larger family gatherings, as well as spaces for relaxation, study, and focused work.
To alleviate the conditions posed by the building bulk of the adjacent MRT station, our design explorations led us to a series of gable-end walls which are slanted at an angle.
This allows the home to be shielded from less desirable aspects of the site, while allowing surrounding scenery to be borrowed landscape for the interiors.
Our belief was that a home should not be a hermetically-sealed box, but one that engages & harmonizes with the natural environment.
On upper storeys, courtyard and a series of gardens and balconies were introduced. These interstitial spaces harmonize the indoors with the natural environment, creating a seamless connection with the outdoors.
Landscaping design employs the use of Bonsai tree & Willow tree. This brings nature within the home, giving it a sense of retreat.
At the centre of the home, is a minimalist courtyard with a sculptural bonsai tree on a bed of fine gravel. This courtyard enhances the quality of interior spaces, generate interesting sightlines for the occupants, and help the interior spaces to ‘breathe’ in the tropics.
Inspired by Client’s love for art, the interior design showcases the owner’s art, colorful sculptures, figurines and vintage furniture collection within the living spaces. The blend of contemporary & eclectic design elements added charm and inject personality to the interiors.
A large extent of the site faces a rather stark and obtrusive wall of an adjacent MRT train station exit. The 3-storey MRT station exit imposes a towering presence and blocks off some natural daylighting onto the site.
Our design explorations led us to deploy a series of slanted gable-end walls in off-form concrete finish. These structural walls create apertures that framed surrounding scenery for the interiors whilst shielding undesirable aspects of the site. It also created a unique spatial experience for the rooms. The slanted walls became part of the façade design.
Careful studies of the site, and view sightlines to surrounding greenery were conducted. The studies help to sculpt the massing of the house for optimal views to surrounding greenery.
Being a compact site, there were challenges to accommodating all the various functions within the design. Mark 12 Architects achieved this through rigorous planning and study, as well as having close communication with the Client throughout the design and construction process.
