This design creates an inter-generational
home accommodating a growing family
within spectacular triple volumes that echo the largesse of the encroaching Singaporean jungle at their backdoor.
Organized around an expansive living room, the house is characterized by fluidity and simplicity. A unified colour and material scheme enable the various design requirements for the different generations to come together with a sense of harmony , while the high windows invite backdrops of spectacular tropical foliage into the interiors. A place of meditation and respite for the wise and of wonder for the young.
