WHO LIVES HERE
An architect couple in their 40s with their two sons – and, occasionally, both their parents
HOME Inter-terrace home in Hougang
SIZE 4,088 sq ft
Just from its exterior, a passer-by would be hard-pressed to believe that this terrace home is a resort-style paradise for three generations. Step inside, however, and it’s a completely different world – bright, airy and spacious with plenty of room for a supersized family.
It was designed by owners and architects Tan Chee Yong and Rebecca Chia, who share it with their two sons and have made sure that there is more than enough room for when both of their parents stay over. “We wanted the overall feel to be simple and functional while exuding a relaxed, tropical atmosphere,” says Chee Yong.
Since both are avid swimmers, a 21m lap pool was one of the top priorities. They worked around the issue of space by placing it at the ground level and elevating everything else – including the living room and kitchen.
