Architecture Design of Mimosa Road House

Description About The Project

Mimosa Road House designed by Park + Associates Pte Ltd and is located in Singapore. This modern house characterized by straight lines and the careful selection of materials, which give the house a warm and rustic touch. The site is rectangular and sits at the junction of 2 roads in an established housing estate in the Northern part of Singapore.

Indeed, the designer aimed to capture modern design through clean straight lines and massive forms compensated by meticulous and creative selection of materials to keep a warm rustic touch to the feel of the house. Also, one of these materials is burnt orange brick that reconnects the history of the original house prominently having exposed bricks all throughout.

On the other hand, the architects have created a continuous connection between indoor and outdoor on the ground floor. In addition to that, a balcony inside the house offers views across the living room from the second floor. In addition to this, in creating a dialogue between indoor and outdoor, all the living spaces on the ground floor are strongly grounded by its relationship to the outdoors. The mahjong room complemented by a landscape deck with trees. The powder room has a view to a water feature. Also, the living room fronted by a lotus pond and the dining room is immediately adjacent to a breakfast deck.

Mimosa Road house for a warm, rustic touch by Park + Associates Pte Ltd — One enters the Mimosa Road House through a large pivot timber door into a single volume grey granite foyer, and through to the timber paneled double volume living space. The intention was to create not just a contrast in volume but also in materials.

Also, the designer consciously tried to create more visual links to the living space as this is the most often used portion of the Mimosa Road House within this household. Hence the timber screen corridor with low level seats that line the 2nd story of the living room and the internal balcony that overlooks the living space from the 2nd story lounge area.

Text by the Architects: The client commissioned the project outlining a simple brief. Double volume living space, 4 bedrooms, reuse as much of the existing structure as possible. The concept and layout of the house evolved and finalized over three meetings with the client. It eventually ended up as a new build.
