Sited on a corner plot along a major road and opposite a popular hawker centre in Singapore. The two main aspects of the house are less than desirable, having to combat the noise of the traffic of the main street and the service road of the food centre. The design has to mitigate the challenges of a direct western sun exposure and lack of privacy from the busy pedestrian walkways along its boundaries. We envision a simple, impervious external form to enclose an internal garden oasis where all the interior spaces could look into.
