Surprising Seclusion House, an Inward-looking Home by HYLA Architects

Architecture Design of Surprising Seclusion House

Description About The Project

Surprising Seclusion designed by HYLA Architects is a suitable name for a house in Singapore’s Binchang Rise, as an oasis away the hustle and bustle of life. With both the front and rear of the house facing busy city roads, the prospect of creating a private and relaxing home was a difficult one for HYLA Architects. For the home though, the solution was to look inward – which is house the house was designed. It is a beautiful house that finished in off-form concrete and grey face brick.

HYLA architect Han Loke Kwang describes the space as “inward-looking and hermetic”. A property which juxtaposed by the bathroom, porous and sunlit design. In addition to this, a triple volume covered but naturally ventilated court with a pool becomes the focus of the internal space.

Besides, the master bathroom of this house continues the concrete and grey face brick theme with brick openings for ventilation and views. This bathroom and the attic bath have planting areas, offering an awesome green contrast to the grey scheme. The concrete and brick geometry of this house also can be seen in the study, family, and living room where there are custom storage units used to beautify the interior. It is an amazing house where different materials combined to create a special character for its building.
