A series of traditional solutions applied in a contemporary way by Hyla Architects results in the verdant verandahs house concealed behind an artistic concrete brise soleil.

Landed property owners typically have two concerns when designing their homes in Singapore: the lack of privacy and tropical climate.
No stranger to this conundrum is the award-winning HYLA Architects, which consistently outdoes itself in coming up with well-designed solutions to mitigate these challenges.

But under the direction of HYLA’s Principal Architect Han Loke Kwang, it has turned out otherwise.
