The Loft House is a semi-detached house located at a highly visible corner in a quiet neighborhood. The design concept of the house is derived from the client's brief which is polemical - a house that response well to the tropical climate in Singapore, but at the same time contemporary. They value their privacy but at the same time wanted visual access to the natural surroundings. In response, we created a house that takes on the silhouette of a typical house in the Tropics, with the unmistakable pitch roof view from exterior. In the interior, the design is modern and details are timeless. The large overhang on the exterior provides excellent shades for shielding the sun, thus allowing extensive use of glass that let in natural light which lit up the interior. The highlight of the house in placed in the centre. It is a double volume loft where the social gathering is designed to take place - the dinning space, where the owners will host their guests. Visual connectivity is extended from the ground floor to the 2nd floor and beyond, through a feature metal screen that integrates the staircase. With the full height glazing at the facade, natural light is brought into the space to give it an uplifting feeling.
