House 25, designed by Park + Associates, represents how if a homeowner has a leap of faith in a reputed architect, he can have a hugely positive outcome.
Located in a residential estate in Bukit Timah in Singapore, the semi-detached house faces a park and children’s playground, affording views out to nature’s tropical bounty.
“We wanted to take advantage of this, and developed a narrative where the house is also an extension of the park,” says Christina Thean, the Director at the Singapore-based architectural practice.
SEAMLESS CONNECTION
The result is a two-story-with-attic abode that has something unique: an almost pavilion-like structure as its veranda out front.
This is delineated from the driveway through a split level covered with granite flooring upon which an outdoor sofa set is placed.
Behind the furniture rises a two-storey void capped with a trellis that is on the same plane as the second floor’s roof, allowing natural light in at an angle to nourish the Leopard Tree growing through it.
This has become the anchor point of the home, offering an added dimension of visual layering and connectivity.
It was also devised to continue the thread of nature’s tropical bounty into the heart of the home.
Another defining feature of the front of the house is the sizable cantilever overhang that acts as a shelter for the car porch and veranda.
