Artistic additions from Peter Blake Michael Johannson French street artist Dran and UK street artist duo Miss Bugs add color and character as they set the tone in various other rooms of the house including the fascinating home office and the master suite. And it is the globally popular image of ‘Faces’ created by Piero Fornasetti that caps off this remarkably brilliant bachelorette home in Singapore that captivates enthralls and amazes!
The design of the house also maximizes natural ventilation and the views of the pond even as smart insulation and radiant heating in the floors creates a comfortable living environment.

Designed by Colle-Croce the beautiful family residence is mainly clad in metal and concrete with both materials bringing plenty of textural variance and shaping a unique façade. It is the lower half of the structure that is made up of concrete and a steel structure covered in metallic sheets sits on top of this sturdy base.

Shaped by stunning mountains all around and defined by the unique lot on which it sits this in works within the existing limitations to make the most of both space and the views on offer. The sloped triangular lot the family residence sits on plays a major role in shaping its overall silhouette along with local construction guidelines that mandate the use of wood for at least 30 percent of the home’s surface area. Walking this architectural tightrope and delivering in style GCA Architects ensured that the dwelling did not compromise on unabated views even while offering adequate privacy to those inside.
