This single-story residence, nestled in the heart of Siglap, inhabited by a couple, exudes a captivating vintage home charm. The story of this house’s transformation begins with its intriguing historical elements, such as the old Malacca red bricks and the arches that grace the windows and doors, evoking a welcoming ambiance.
The house underwent a thorough renovation, reconfiguring its interior spaces by removing the old false ceiling to reveal the exquisite height and truss structure. The irregular sloping roof shape, when exposed, adds character. Several skylights were incorporated to introduce natural light and create fascinating shadows that change throughout the day, providing moments of serenity.
A bedroom run-through toilet, also known as an en-suite bathroom, refers to a layout in a home where a bathroom is directly accessible from a bedroom, providing residents with a private and convenient bathing and toileting area adjacent to their sleeping quarters. This design enhances comfort and accessibility, making it a sought-after feature in modern residential spaces.
Every part of the house is bathed in natural light, and doors can be opened to connect with the exterior space.
Creating a seamless transition between the interior and exterior was a key focus, allowing inhabitants to experience a sense of rejuvenation and freedom within the architectural spaces.
