Exquisite Singapore Home with Geometric Façade Feels like an Oasis of Green

Singapore is one of the busiest cities on the planet and finding residential space in this congested urban setting can be hard indeed. Even if you create an expansive and sophisticated modern residence, creating the right amount of privacy and keeping out the surrounding buildings visually is a challenge indeed. But Park + Associates Pte Ltd have managed to fashion one such gorgeous setting in a bustling neighborhood of the city with a housing unit that was originally built in the 1980s. The new residence is a delightful mixture of concrete and glass with both the elements showcasing a picture of contrast. Step in and you discover a world that is open, light-filled and cheerful at all times.

Multi-level modern home in Singapore surrounded by greenery








The Stark House uses a simple blend of concrete planes that intersect with a series of glass walls and sliding glass doors to create a modern environment that is also a touch rustic at its heart. A curated garden space around the house provides a natural layer of greenery and provides privacy at the same time. The garden is a space where one can rest and rejuvenate after a long, hard day and the minimal deck next to the pool also reflects the uncomplicated look of the house.

  • Jungle Keva

    Situated in Tulum, this small boutique hotel rises between the trees, in which the main concept consisted in preserving 70% of the existing vegetation in order to build around it. By achieving this, every space of the project is always in relation to its natural surroundings. The hotel has five 50m2 lodges, formed by a double height room, a mezzanine or “tapanco”, a terrace and an indoor-outdoor bathroom. At the back of the lot the social areas are located, with a dining space and yoga pavilion hanging in cantilever over the pool. The main idea of this water element is to be extruded from the ground in between the vegetation. For this reason, two old zapote trees were preserved, which look as they were rising from the pool itself. All the project is composed by local materials, as well as low maintenance and natural textures, which provide a warm atmosphere to the buildings. A particular finish found on the walls is “chukum”, a Mayan stucco characteristic of the region, which uses a tree resin to give its distinctive color, appearance and durability. The objective was to use materials that age with dignity, so that with the passing of time the architecture acquires character and a deeper sense of belonging. The different volumes of the complex are scattered along the lot, between the trees and stone paths, which provide a sensation of being in a small village in the Mayan jungle. Throughout the design process there was a search for pure forms and natural materials that could blend with the surrounding context. In a sense, Jungle Keva is like an abstraction or simplification of vernacular architecture, easy to read, simple and with a social, natural and economic conscience.
