Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, the Forgetting Time House is a sincere homage to serenity and balance. Designed by the renowned Wallflower Architecture + Design, this 14,000-square-foot residence in Singapore is a sanctuary for enjoying nature and living with tranquility, providing its inhabitants with the opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with moments of pure relaxation. Inspired by carefree childhood memories, the house is an invitation to relive the magical sensation of timeless moments, where concerns about the clock disappear and life flows smoothly.

Upon entering through the imposing porte-cochère, the gaze is immediately drawn to the lush garden and the majestic pool that make up a lush tropical setting. The architectural project, centered around a biophilic courtyard, features a charming collection of Frangipani trees carefully distributed across all floors, creating a harmonious interaction between the indoor spaces and the surrounding nature. The subtle combination of elements such as wooden screens and travertine stone provides a sense of balance and harmony, reinforcing the connection with the natural environment.

The house exudes an atmosphere of serenity and contemplation, providing ample moments of introspection and relaxation. The generous influx of natural light and the permeability between the internal and external spaces invite a deceleration, allowing residents to appreciate every detail of the lush tropical landscape. The second-floor rooms, connected to the central courtyard through elegant wooden screens, offer a contrast between solidity and voids, creating a cozy yet connected feeling with the surrounding nature.

The travertine staircase, with its wooden screen structures, leads to a private study at the top of the residence, offering a discreet and tranquil space, perfect for contemplating the surrounding green exuberance. In its essence, the Forgetting Time House is an invitation to live fully, where architecture merges with nature, and time seems to dissipate, leaving space for an immersive and revitalizing experience.

Villa Bunkherr

Artistic Character The biggest challenge of the project Bunkherr came up at the outset of the collaboration between the client and the architects. The attractive hillside property was located in a former holiday home neighborhood set amidst a picturesque landscape in Hesse, Germany. Due to great dedication, perseverance and a tenacious struggle for the client’s strong desire to build their home in this very attractive place, a construction permit could finally be successfully acquired. The design is based on the idea of a human back, which divides the property into two areas: a public hillside area, which contains the entrance to the house, the garage and a spacious, plaza-like courtyard – an inviting place to share time with friends and neighbors. Even the client’s horse finds room here. And it also has a private valley facing area, which offers a magnificent view of nature. The structure of the building is defined by two building blocks, which are arranged at right angles to one another, the upper floor is cantilevered towards the valley. The private rooms of the parents are accommodated there. Below on the ground floor there is an open kitchen, dining and living area, which is characterized by the room-high glazing. A central design concept was to create spaces for the works of the artistically influenced client. For example, the interior of the house, has sculptures and paintings that add a special personal touch to the timeless, modern style of the house. Only a few materials, such as the white screed, which is not only used on the floor but also on the furniture, and the specially designed wooden boards provide a stylish setting for this.

La Finca Victoria

The hotel is located on a hill with wonderful cross-ventilation, surrounded by luscious vegetation and the soothing symphony of the native Coqui frogs. Being on one of the highest points of the island provides us with an amazing view of sunrises and sunsets. The island has hardly any light pollution, which creates the perfect atmosphere to see the stars at night. Under the right clear-sky conditions, even the Milky Way becomes visible for stargazers to admire. Text Courtesy of La Finca Victoria
