House Tour: A river runs through this 924sqm Singapore home by ONG&ONG

April 25, 2023
68515-river1

Beautifully framed by the walls and cladding, this home looks like a Chinese painting that’s come to life.

Located just off Stevens road, this home designed by ONG&ONG features a look comprising of two blocks with link bridges connecting them on the various floors.

Cutting right across the blocks is a gap created by a river-like pool at its base.

On closer inspection, you will also notice that both parts of the home is clad in different materials.
