Forever House in Serangoon, Singapore by Wallflower Architecture + Design

Tuesday, May 29th, 2018

Article source: Wallflower Architecture + Design

Our clients wanted to build their dream house; a house that would be their definitive family home. It had to have an urban presence, while having an open yet secure exterior space with sufficient privacy from the street. With a no expense to be spared mandate, the architect was given a large wish-list that included a 6-car garage and a 25m long pool.

Travertine Dream House in Serangoon, Singapore by Wallflower Architecture + Design

The client’s brief for this house was simple. Functionally, to maximize usable area and to incorporate greenery. Aesthetically, to use travertine copiously as an architectural finish. Inspired by the Italian urban-scape during his travels, so too would travertine express this house.

Sunny Side House in Serangoon, Singapore by Wallflower Architecture + Design

Sunday, September 1st, 2013

The site would not appeal to most local homebuyer as it immediately ticks several negative boxes for what are deemed liabilities in a residential semi-detached plot. It is long and narrow, with both the long side and front facing the western afternoon sun. The plot lies a metre below a public road that bounds the front and the ‘sunny’ side. In the local context, there would be environmental, layout and cultural issues to overcome.
