Sited on a corner plot along a major road and opposite a popular hawker centre in Singapore. The two main aspects of the house are less than desirable, having to combat the noise of the traffic of the main street and the service road of the food centre. The design has to mitigate the challenges of a direct western sun exposure and lack of privacy from the busy pedestrian walkways along its boundaries.  Finbar Fallon Client wanted a design that could resolve and rise above these disamenity. To create a haven of tranquillity amidst the surrounding chaos for the multigenerational family of seven.  Finbar Fallon We envision a simple, impervious external form to enclose an internal garden oasis where all the interior spaces...

House of Views draws inspiration from the Classical Gardens of Suzhou, reinterpreting centuries-old Chinese landscape principles through a contemporary architectural lens. Conceived as a series of pavilions arranged around internal courtyards, the house reflects key Suzhou ideals such as curated scenes, spatial thresholds, and borrowed views.

This approach allows nature to permeate the architectural experience, blurring the boundaries between indoor... More

Regulating privacy, ventilation, and daylight, it performs as both environmental mediator and architectural express... More

The owners of this house are deeply fond of the tranquillity offered by the nearby cemetery and the lush forest that fronts the house. One of the key design approaches for this project was to create a bright, open living space that visually connects with the surrounding greenery, allowing the interior to embrace the peaceful natural setting. Khoo Guo Jie Khoo Guo Jie Khoo Guo Jie The house is located on a one-way street, with a visually constrained entrance. To overcome this, the living space is raised to the second floor, aligning it with the level of the cemetery. Throughout the project, we explored the concept of spatial compression and expansion, creating a dynamic flow of space that contrasts between tight, intimate are... More
