“The house is designed with very strategic openings to the skylights, so during different times of the day, the light changes,” added Liu.
Incorporating these natural elements within the house was something Tee had specifically requested. “I wanted the home to have a natural feel to it. When you are in the courtyard, you feel like you are in the moment,” she said.
Liu continued: “We always believe that the house is an urban repose, especially in the context of Singapore, which is a highly urbanised and land-scarce city. The home has to be something that is familiar, but yet has sufficient variety and variations within.”
