Singapore Luxury Secret House, designed by Singapore Wallflower Architecture Design, is located in the prestigious district of Bukit Timah. The desire of the owner was to have a luxurious house, tropical, contemporary, but mostly family.
Most of the land of the House is not visible from the entrance and offers the umptuousness of a secret garden to protect it from prying eyes.
As functionality requirements are important, the architect designed more than one-third of the house in the terrain profile, exploiting the unique site with a “plateau” -shaped terrace to compose the rest of the living and living spaces. gardens.
Conceptually, the architectural composition above ground consists of two rectangular travertine blocks resting on thin piles.
The blocks are connected to the second floor by a closed bridge floating above the ground plane. A ribbon window cuts the travertine stone facade. Adjustable vertical wooden louvers, strategically placed along this window strip, protect the glazing and regulate the amount of sunlight reaching the interior, while ensuring privacy when required.
An outdoor deck and rooftop garden complete the composition and are spacious enough to accommodate meetings and parties. The bridge facade is tilted to enjoy views of the scenic Bukit Timah Hill, Singapore’s highest point.
