Gorgeous Sculptural Geometric Family Home in Singapore

Another family with three children can enjoy their dream house thanks to Ong & Ong Architects. This next geometric home consists of elements that are perfectly combined to form a superb home. The “45 Faber Park” residence was designed to allow the private and entertaining spaces to interconnect while protecting the privacy of the inhabitants. The private floor, where we can find the bedroom, family room and study was covered with titanium-zinc alloy cladding. A modern spiral staircase connects the bedroom block to the lower level that connects to the outside. A barbeque and a timber deck ensure the relaxation of the grownups, while the kids play in the garden. The first floor is reserved for the social and service area, guest bedroom and garage. In the basement, an entertaining area was built, containing the hi-fi room and bar. The residence was completed with the addition of a lap pool.

Encouraging Outdoor Living: Exquisite House Duk in South Africa

Designed and defined by Nico van der Meulen Architects, the exquisite House Duk is a wonderful property that invites you to enjoy the benefits of the outdoor living. Nested within a nature reserve near Johannesburg, South Africa, it provides a large array of recreational possibilities and naturally, it encourages residents to embrace and explore the beauty of nature. The spacious two-storey mansion is encircled by a landscaped garden which can be admired from every room in the house. That’s a big, big plus! A covered patio serves as an extension to the living room. The two environments (in and outdoor) merge seamlessly creating the perfect warm and welcoming home.

Natural materials and earthy tones of colour intentionally adorn the house to discreetly match the surroundings. Comfort and elegance result from the carefully selected décor elements, the inspired combination of colour hues and the smooth textures. Both floors feature outdoor lounge spaces. “The best part of this design is the way the entrance entices your curiosity with long stone cladded screen walls and once inside, the transparency and openness of this home that lies behind these solid entrance walls creates interesting contrast.” Undoubtably, this is a captivating home, a delight for the eyes and a soothing place where you can retreat to and relax in whilst enjoying the wonders of nature.
