Bukit Tunggal

This fully reconstructed Good Class Bungalow in Bukit Tunggal, District 11, is one of Singapore's rarest residential offerings. This is a freehold GCB in one of just 39 gazetted Good Class Bungalow Areas (GCBA), rebuilt to approximately 14,500 sq ft of built-up space by an owner who rethought every system from the ground up. Elevated on a natural hill with panoramic city views, it runs on 195 rooftop solar panels that bring the monthly electricity bill to near zero, is sustained by a rainwater harvesting system that nearly eliminates water costs, and is finished throughout with architect-designed details – from a semicircular spiral staircase to Gessi bathroom fittings – that place it in a category of its own. In a market where GCBs in Bukit Tunggal almost never change hands, this is a home that was worth building once, and is unlikely to appear again.

Bukit Tunggal GCB Panoramic City View, Elevated Above the Neighbourhood by Design

Sitting atop a natural hill with surrounding homes below the roofline, the panoramic city view is the home's defining feature, and rare enough that the owner added an entire attic floor specifically to protect and elevate it. The elevated ground position means no future obstruction. What you see today is what you keep.

Reconstructed Good Class Bungalow in Bukit Tunggal with Californian Architecture and Singapore-Grade Precision

Rebuilt from approximately 8,000 sq ft to 14,500 sq ft during reconstruction, the home follows a deliberate Californian philosophy – open, breezy, and built for living rather than impressing. An architect-designed semicircular spiral staircase anchors the interior, a precision exercise in symmetry that replaced what was originally an exterior balcony. The home was extended to the three-metre planning limit to bring it inside. A fully retractable aluminium pergola shelters the outdoor deck, making it usable in any weather. A five-layer engineered artificial turf system eliminates ponding within minutes of heavy rain, eliminating maintenance, and always immaculate. The long private driveway accommodates multiple cars with EV charging.

6-Bedroom GCB with Gessi Fittings, Architect-Designed Staircase and Full-Height French Windows

Six bedrooms, all with full-height French windows, walk-in wardrobes, and skylights drawn in to counter the home's generous depth. Two mirror-image rooms are each designed as self-contained suites with a private lounge and TV – built for a family that values togetherness and autonomy in equal measure. A working study connects through to the family area. Bathrooms are specified to the highest tier of the Gessi range, with large-format ceramics laid precision-flat throughout. A dedicated nanny's room, generous guest suite, and wheelchair-accessible guest bathroom complete a home that has thought carefully about every person who will live in it.

Zero Electricity Bills on This Solar-Powered GCB with Rainwater Harvesting and EV Charging

195 rooftop solar panels bring the monthly electricity bill to zero. The system generates enough power to charge multiple EVs and run the entire household, with 20–30% net-sold back to the grid. A rainwater harvesting system feeds a buffer tank sized at 50% of pool volume, replenishing the pool almost entirely from rainfall. Combined with the zero-irrigation turf system, the home's running costs are a fraction of what a comparable property demands. This is one GCB that is engineered to pay for itself.
