The Screen House, Singapore
The Screen house was designed for a close knitted large family who values their privacy as much as they enjoy their garden landscapes. This 2-storey semi-detached house that resides in a private residential street fronting a park, enjoys the best of both worlds.
During the day, floor to ceiling height timber louvres open up the expansive family living spaces to the lush gardens beyond. By nightfall, the closing of the louvres
allow slits of interior light to penetrate through, leaving the house with an illuminated lantern effect, all while protecting internal views from the public.
The main mono-pitched roof opens up to the North, allowing more natural light to infiltrate the main spaces, fully taking advantage of the open-plan that allows interchangeability of uses between Living, Dining and Open kitchen areas.
The 2nd floor houses 4 large ensuite bedrooms, leaving ample space for the growing family of the next generation.
