Sunset Way was designed for a couple who wanted a space that could expand to accommodate their three adult children and grandchildren when needed. Situated next to a neighbourhood park, the local greenery is carried into and around the house, culminating in the central courtyard - which can be seen throughout internal spaces of the house, with every walkway shrouded in flora.
The spaces are minimal and offer a homely, comforting feel. Each room boasts a 2.2m high window akin to a portal that opens up into a framed view of the surrounding landscape. In addition, the home is populated by a series of horizontal apertures, with the most significant being the expansive skylight above the central courtyard, allowing natural light to pour in. The basement in turn borrows some of this daylight through the introduction of apertures on the slab.
The overall material and colour palette is kept simple to reflect the client’s preference and personality. Two feature walls are clad in bocee limestone - a subtle ivory stone that lends warmth and texture. This cladding carries through to the outdoors, blurring the line between the internal and external spaces.
The neutral interior acts as a clean canvas to display the family’s collection of antique furniture, vessels, and artwork. At the entrance, one is greeted by an expressive piece of wall art commissioned by the owner. Painted by local artist Samuel Teo, who is recognized for his subject of roses, the triptych is meant to represent the couple’s three children.
