This house was built on a 1 acre plot of land at Planters Haven. It was designed for an adventurous couple who are both engineers, who wanted to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.


The site was on a slope opening up to a vast landscape with existing mature durian trees. From the roadside, it appears unassuming with a small frontage due to its funnel-like shape which opens up to the garden behind.

Being up on the hill with its jungle like setting, the design priority was to co-exist with its natural surroundings. In order to preserve the existing slope with minimum cuts the structure was designed to straddle down the slope. The existing rain trees on the site with its huge canopy inspired the idea of a dramatic roof canopy in which all the habitable spaces would be arranged under it’s protection and yet being open and one with its landscape.
