Located in Singapore’s Luxury seaside residential enclave of Sentosa Cove, the clean
lines of the exterior façade of this home belie the air of casual sophistication of the
interior
Commissioned by an industrial based in China, the house is designed to capture the
natural elements and provide a resort like yet homely holiday retreat for a
multigenerational family.

Water House
Facing a canal with a private boat berth at the rear, the home is designed with an
abundance of water (a swimming pool and 4 pounds) and every room in the house has a
view out to water or a garden space. The emphasis on water throughout the house isn’t
just for aesthetic reasons though.
The water bodies promote air movement through the house to cool the house down, and
all doors slide open to take advantage of the breeze that flows in from the waterway.
Large overhangs and timber realizes provides much needed shading from the hot
tropical sun, and low-e double glazing is used to reduce solar heat gain.
