House of Views

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. Darren Soh Instead of placing a singular home within a large garden, the design inverts the conventional relationship between architecture and landscape. The house is envisioned as a composition of distinct volumes, or "boxes," that enclose and frame a sequence of intimate garden pockets. This approach allows nature to permeate the architectural experience, blurring the boundaries between indoor... More

House of Endless Trees

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

Light House

DESCRIPTION  The Light house is a project that resonated with our ideals of tropical architecture in Singapore. With the warm local tropical climate, we believe homes could be made more comfortable and liveable if we could maximise natural light and ventilation into the house. The east-west orientation of this house makes it more critical for good ventilation to prevail.  Marcus L Marcus L Due to west-facing front façade, there was also the challenge of preventing the penetration of the harsh western sun into the house. As a reconstruction project, the other challenge was to re-evaluate the internal spaces to cater for the family of four, while retaining the existing structural elements. Marcus L Marcus... More

House of a Thousand Leaves

On a long and narrow plot fronting a road junction, a semi-detached house of three and a half storey stands as a slim, monolithic mass. With minimal external views, the design aims to provide the avid gardening homeowners and their newlywed children with a climate-conscious and a unique inward-looking home. In crafting a multi-generational home, the design strives to avoid the formation of wholly segregated private zones. Instead, it aims to create a shared space where chance encounters and a sense of connectedness can flourish. Khoo Guo Jie Finbarr Fallon Serving as main artery of the house is a soaring, quadruple-volume atrium. Capitalizing on its north-south orientation, the atrium is book-ended by concrete breeze blocks,... More

Stack House

“Stacking habitable spaces in a semi-detached dwelling in Singapore” DESCRIPTION  Shaping Stack House was an ambitious endeavour to fit four levels of living space into the typical two storey envelope control typology in Singapore.

The owner’s desire to create an iconic modern home suited to the tropical climate presented challenges as well as opportunities for us.  Edward Hendricks CONCEPT The idea of the stacking volumes came about intuitively due to the desire to create more livable space. With the introduction of the envelope control regulation for houses in Singapore, there was an opportunity to explore increa... More

Atrium House

DESCRIPTION  Atrium house was a response to our Client’s brief for a house of modern simplicity and good space. The architectural design of the house was based on the desire to celebrate spaciousness and create meaningful spatial relationships. The central atrium became the anchor for the house, connecting it with all the living spaces from the first to the highest level. The idea of a punctuation echoed to the façade with a patterned perforation that allowed greenery to climb and peek into the interiors of the house.    CONCEPT The first level presented the living room as a spacious space. A lighted walkway connects the living to the open island kitchen at the back of the house. Our Clients loved these space... More
