The house is a contemporary interpretation of a traditional courtyard house, laid out around a central green courtyard with a double height stair and entry area forming the focal point of the project. The L-shaped plan creates open spaces which encourage natural ventilation and offer resident’s views over the courtyard to the verandah, roof gardens and beyond. Lushly planted roof gardens surround the house and add to the effect that nature is evident in every part of the house. The large roof above the courtyard creates an indoor and outdoor space leading to the gardens and swimming pool which wraps around two sides of the house.
The tangga house hopefully gives the owners the opportunity to live in harmony and comfort with nature, in singapores hot tropical climate.

in my very personal point of view… this looks kind of “new rich”…
oh come on this is archdaily, where’s the snobbery? .. nouveau riche.
looks almost like renderings to me! :)
can anyone explain how this extruded pool works?
wow… nice pool !
a house standing on water.. nice
Where are the dolphins? Oh, wait…
It’s a render! You didn’t fool me x
It’s a unique house. I’ve been there b4. ^_^
plan,section?
Nong Nu,work hard na.
Smell like render!
nice ones by the way…
Looks like they may be photos with some ‘embellishments’… fake sky, vegetation and landscaping rock. Either way, pretty cool place. That would definitely be a fun vacation home.
What`s with the Pool! ahahaha NICE
great work!! those are not renders. Please show more details of the pool, that would be quite interesting
Very nice. If good looking women came on over to swim, I’d be taking a seat in the basement living room.
architects cant ever say good things about an architectural work
keave your ego aside and forget for a moment all your architectural philosphy for a moment. i think its a very nice piece of work.
I was writing about this home earlier today and I have to say it is one of the nicest homes I have ever seen I wish my home was that cool :-D
Guz Architects always satisfy me with their creations and this house is no exception I love open houses even though it comes with many disadvantages. The swimming pool with glass top looks just glamorous.
