Unique townhouse outside looking inward, ‘in the open’

Different from the discreet design outside, the space inside the house is designed to be open and close to nature.

Located in a densely populated area in Singapore, the house has a public walkway right next to it. Behind is a high-rise building under construction. Therefore, privacy issues become a major concern of homeowners. Accordingly, the architect prioritizes discreet walls on the outside of the facade. Plain brick walls in neutral tones help to reduce the rough, heavy feel of an introverted building. The window ensures ventilation for the space but has a compact design and is glued with one-way anti-seeing glass paper. The land is divided into two parts corresponding to the building and connected by a green garden in the middle. Garden design allows the house to have the necessary breathing space to limit the situation of long and narrow pipes. Contrary to the somewhat discreet facade, the space inside the house is towards open architecture and prioritizes connection. In addition to the garden space between the two buildings, the house has an additional opening that is a skylight to help get natural light. Homeowners feel full natural sunlight right in the house. The living room and kitchen are located in the front block. The living room and kitchen are located in the front block. Wooden furniture gives a cozy feeling.
