Article source: A D Lab Pte Ltd An intriguing element of the brief for this corner terrace house in Central Singapore became the inspiration for its design. The owners approached architects AD Lab Pte Ltd with a desire to live in the house as nomads, moving the living and sleeping areas from room to room, and having the ability to alter the function and meaning of the spaces over time. Situated at the end of a row of terrace houses with a green reserve toward the rear of the house, the site naturally had one side that was limited by the boundary wall, and the other that was more related to the surrounding greenery. The designers took advantage of the linked boundary wall to house a linear strip of the “function” or “service” elements of the house, leaving the more open and flexible space to face the side garden and long swimming pool, front balcony and rear views to the greenery.

In contrast, the right side of the house is constructed of lightweight steel and expressed as an open, glass and aluminium-clad structure. This organizational logic carries through to the interiors of the house, with its contrast of the darker and more enclosed “service” side and light and open flexible side. Even in the basement of the house, the openness is felt through shimmering light emanating from long windows directly into the side of the swimming pool which stretches across the entire length of the house.
