Completed in two and a half years, this Good Class Bungalow by Peter Tay merges art, architecture and function with seamless grace
In Singapore’s residential architecture hierarchy, the Good Class Bungalow (GCB) reigns supreme. These sprawling homes, occupying plots of no less than 15,070 sq ft within specially designated estates, epitomise privacy, prestige and space in a progressive city-state celebrated for its innovative highdensity living. Amid this rarefied typology, Peter Tay unveils his latest masterpiece: a home that transcends function to become a sanctuary for the senses.
Commissioned by a celebrated food entrepreneur and his family of six, comprising him and his wife, their three children, and his mother-in-law, this residence was meticulously crafted over two and a half years. The result is a residence that merges art, architecture and function with seamless grace.
CARTE BLANCHE
Known for his discerning eye and signature sophisticated aesthetic, Tay has carved a niche in Singapore’s high-end design scene, with projects ranging from opulent residences to flagship boutiques. Yet his true genius lies in his ability to weave emotional resonance into his designs. “It’s about building a house with soul—a space that reflects their aspirations, passions, and way of life,” he shares.
Decades of experience and an illustrious portfolio inspired the client to entrust Tay with complete creative freedom. “As an avid traveller, my client has a keen understanding of architecture, design, art and fashion,” Tay explains. “He truly appreciates a holistic lifestyle that goes beyond his work in food, embracing the essence of luxury living. Trusting in my vision, he entrusted the design direction to me entirely.”
