Project architects: Caroline Witzke, Szymon Goździkowski
Location: Sentosa Island, Singapore
Project area: 852 sqm
Project year: 2010
Photographs: Patrick Bingham Hall

This house is located on a new housing estate on the island of Sentosa adjacent to Singapore. The plots are not large and neighbouring buildings are built close to the sides of each house.

Thus our strategy was to build a solid wall to each side neighbor to provide privacy where possible, while creating a central light and stair well which would funnel the sea breeze through the centre of the building. The front and rear of the building meanwhile, terrace back allowing each story to have visual or actual access to greenery.

The intention was to try to allow each roof garden provided a base for the story above allowing the layered effect to make each story feel like it was a single storey dwelling sitting in a garden.as much as we could do in the close confines of Sentosa island and with such a large building!!

Very nice and very green project. The waterproofing details of this project must be the main problem while drawing and applying it.

It is a great project, thinking about regenerating green spaces on our planet, but… I have a question on the ground for this project.
What are its dimensions?
I hope your answer…
