THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SPACES FLOW SEAMLESSLY WITHIN THIS HOME, MAKING THE MOST OUT OF SINGAPORE’S BALMY CLIMATE
As the adage goes, the fi rst impression counts; set against an abundance of lush foliage, this house already made an indelible impression on design director Terri Tan, during her fi rst visit. “When we fi rst visited the house, we were taken in by the spectacular greenery surrounding the cerulean pool,” recalls Tan, who helms local practice Designworx Interior Consultant.
Located in a prime district in Singapore, this 6,722sqft Good Class Bungalow was designed by Guz Architects to draw attention to its verdant surroundings and to encourage its inhabitants to enjoy quality time out in the open. The resort-style house, which features a U-shape structure around the pool comprises a series of rooms interconnected by corridors. The owners then tasked Designworx Interior Consultant with “transforming the house into a home”. “We were inspired by the tranquility of nature as we worked on refreshing and updating the interior,” says Tan. “We were mindful of keeping the transition between the inside and outside as seamless as possible.”
OUTDOOR FLAIR
As the architecture features signifi cant swathes of outdoor spaces, Tan came up with the idea to furnish these areas like she would with the interior spaces. Her team transformed the staircase landing into an indoor-outdoor lounge with the addition of Talenti armchairs and a sofa, delineating the space with a pair of oversized art panels and a textured egg sculpture by an Indonesian artist.
