Fish House in Singapore by Guz Architects

This environmentally friendly seafront house embraces Singapore’s tropical climate by creating an open, breezy space, giving residents views from every room to the ocean as well as into the garden with its large swimming pool. Our main endeavour was to create a residence with seamless integration of the surrounding nature and therefore water had to play a key role in achieving that. A large swimming pool with free flowing borders and artificial islands is linking the garden with the house. This connection is extended to the basement media room, where a grand u-shaped window allows dramatic views into the underwater world of the pool and provides indirect daylight to the room.

The concept of integration is also implemented in the exterior view by using curved roofs, which symbolize the waves of the sea. They are almost fully covered with flexible photovoltaic panels, providing energy for the whole house and the swimming pool. The remainder is used as a roof garden, overlooking the sea and the nearby islands.

As a result the Fisher’s House, combining these individual designs, reflects the desire to live in luxury and harmony with nature at the same time.
