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.
Two Wings
The portion clad in stone is designed as the social side of the house, where the living rooms and bedrooms are located.
The other side, clad in concrete is where the administrative and kitchen areas can be found.
Simple Interiors
The interiors are simply decorated, allowing its inhabitants to appreciate the complexity of its architecture.
Ground Floor
On the ground floor, a connecting walkway leads from the formal living room to the back study.
Trees by the River
Trees with willowy branches are placed along the river, creating a mesmerising look.
Chinese Courtyard
Reminiscent of rounded doorways in the courtyards of traditional Chinese dwellings, the stone-clad doorway here adds a classy touch to the roof terrace.
Natural Daylight
By day, natural light shines from the gap between the complexes to fill the spaces within.
There is a resort-like feel throughout the home, enhanced with water features and lush greenery.
The tall trees on the estate help to give the house an even more lovelier feel.
