A Masterpiece of Fluidity and Architectural Elegance

Located in Singapore, Stiletto House by EHKA Studio redefines contemporary architecture with free-flowing curves and sculptural forms that seamlessly merge functionality, aesthetic appeal, and traditional tropical design principles. Designed by architects Hsu Hsia Pin & Eunice Khoo, the residence challenges conventional rectilinear structures, creating a visually striking yet highly livable space.

“Our client wanted a home that would not only showcase his impressive collection of antiques and designer furniture but also be a statement piece in itself,” the EHKA Studio team shared with Luxury Houses Magazine.

The result is a breathtaking residence that blends art and architecture, featuring dramatic double-height spaces, floating sculptural elements, and extensive use of glass for a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.

Curvaceous Design That Defies Convention

Inspired by the elegance of fluid movement, Stiletto House embodies organic, flowing lines that break away from traditional architectural rigidity. The floating, overlapping curved planes form the main structural elements, while curved glass facades enhance transparency and openness.

The most striking feature is the sculptural “stiletto” columns, which gracefully support the entrance porches, dramatically illuminated at night. These columns give the house a distinct identity, resembling a high-fashion stiletto heel—bold, sophisticated, and avant-garde.

“We wanted to push the boundaries of residential architecture, introducing sensuality into an otherwise rigid structure,” EHKA Studio explained.

An Art Gallery Within a Home

A defining characteristic of Stiletto House is its seamless integration of art and architecture. The client, an avid collector, envisioned a residence that would display his collection of antiques and ultra-modern furniture.

✔ Expansive double-height living spaces that serve as a gallery for furniture and art pieces
✔ Floor-to-ceiling glass facades, allowing artworks to be visible from the exterior
✔ A central curvaceous spiral staircase, positioned at the front of the house, becoming an artistic focal point

The living area, encased in curved glass walls, transforms into a display space, where the client’s collection takes center stage.

“Every part of the house—from the sculptural stairs to the curved balustrades—was designed to feel like a living artwork,” the architects noted.

Maximizing Space with Smart Planning

Located in a two-story residential zone, the home was strategically designed to maximize internal floor space while adhering to Singapore’s Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) guidelines.

Sustainable Tropical Architecture with Passive Cooling

Despite its extensive use of glass, Stiletto House remains energy-efficient and comfortable, thanks to passive cooling strategies inspired by traditional tropical homes.

✔ Large overhanging eaves, providing shade and reducing heat absorption
✔ Cross-ventilation through floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, allowing natural airflow
✔ A pool and overflow water wall, cooling the surroundings through evaporative cooling
✔ Low-emissivity glass, minimizing thermal impact while maintaining transparency

“People often assume extensive glass use in tropical climates is inefficient, but when combined with smart shading and ventilation, it enhances comfort rather than hindering it,” the architects emphasized.

This strategic balance between aesthetics and practicality showcases how tropical architecture can be redefined for modern living.
