The requirements for this family home in Adelphi Park Estate in Singapore were straightforward: One master suite and three good-sized ensuite bedrooms, a kitchen and back-of-house facilities, living and dining rooms, a family room, a home entertainment room, two home offices/study, a sheltered carpark for six cars, garden spaces and a large lawn.
Work on “Trio Stack” started towards the end of 2016 and a certificate of statutory completion was obtained for the property in 2020. Architect William Ng led the project; he is also the founder of Studio Wills + Architects in Singapore.
ingenious “stacked” design
“Trio Stack”, which houses a family of four and their frequent guests, is a tripartite arrangement of “boxes”.
On the garden level rests the Glass Box, which contains the living and dining rooms, kitchen and guest bedroom. The garden spaces are visible from all these areas through the transparent windows.
Above the Glass Box is the Concrete Box, which features two bedrooms for the owners’ children, a study for the wife and the family room; this construct is opaque to offer privacy. Incised into the Concrete Box is a long and linear ribbon-window, in-filled with pivoting sunscreen, to frame views of the estate.
The entire composition is crowned by a Steel Box, which contains the master suite and a study for the husband. The Steel Box recedes on all sides with outdoor terraces wrapped around it, and is akin to a pavilion that looks out towards the Central Catchment Nature Reserve.
