A stoic concrete frame and roof defines the exterior of the house, accented by minimalist steel elements and the rustic appearance of concrete breeze blocks and graphical steps that extend out to the pool.

Being on the highest ground among the four houses, 23 King Albert Park enjoys a wide-angle view over the tree tops and roofs within and beyond the development. On the second storey, a deep verandah bridges the indoors and out while providing shelter and extensive natural ventilation for the living and dining areas.

The functional grid governing the straightforward plan of the house is reflected in the steady rhythm of concrete columns around the elevation. With infill of bamboo chicks into this regular framework, an old-meets-new sensibility is conjured.

Features

Garden as a green canvas and soft edge

Specially selected shrubs and trees serve as gentle barriers between each house. At the same time, they come together seamlessly as one large garden, enveloping the estate in nature and acting as tranquil focal points for each home to extend and look out to.

Natural Ventilation

Natural cross ventilation and vertical stack ventilation are integrated in the architecture for utmost internal comfort.

Rain Shelter

The design of the sloped roof allows for effective rainwater run off, preventing future leakages. Sheltered verandahs allow the family to enjoy natural air flow even when it is raining.

Sunshading

Deep verandahs and terraces buffer the interior from direct sunlight while providing comfortable and usable outdoor spaces.

Swimming Pool

Each house comes with a generously sized swimming pool that is a respite for the warm weather both physically and visually.

Key Finishes

In the interior, light-coloured Vis Grey Granite flooring for common spaces and bathrooms complements the fair-faced concrete exterior, continuing the same experience of formal purity and calmness throughout. Concrete breeze blocks, used as wall screens and skylights, provide a flavour of the old world while functioning as a screen for shade and privacy.

Burmese Teak for bedroom flooring provides a touch of warmth to spaces of personal retreat, while Balau timber for the external flooring is a natural foil to the surrounding garden.
