Located in the exotic country of Singapore, the 21 Jervois Hill residence, a project completed by AR43 Architects, was designed
as a retreat for the body, mind and soul. The luxuriant vegetation
encompassing the house had a strong influence in its current
architectural structure. The client asked for a relaxing living space, a
haven that embraces nature and makes it part of it. What the architects
had in mind was to to establish a strong connection with the
surrounding site, therefore using natural materials to built the house
seemed the most matter-of-course thing to do.
As any other zen-inspired place, the house feels breezy and it inspires
peacefulness. Its structure integrates on one side a water cascade
fountain which plunges down to become one with the swimming pool. This
particular scene creates a relaxing atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy
the nature in all its ravishing beauty. The house consists of a main
volume, a large pavilion and a supporting wing. The living room opens up
to the garden terrace while the bedroom is oriented towards the
tropical forest, framing it and allowing you to wake up every morning in
such an inspiring and heaven-like environment.
