8 Cluny Park, Singapore (1999)

​

There are three unique features to the design of this house.

Firstly, the entrance level is elevated up by one floor so that one would not feel entering a sunken pit as the hill site was excavated and levelled from a previous terrain. 

Secondly, curved walls allow free flowing circulation within the house and has a much natural relationship with the garden it encloses. 

​

Lastly, a secondary metallic roof is added upon the concrete roof to allow air flow so as to cool the rooms below.

The design continues our exploration of a modern interpretation to traditional Singapore houses that have dealt successfully to protect residents from natural elements such as the blazing hot sun and heavy rain of the tropics.
