Designed by AR43 Architects, the 21 Jervois Hill zen-inspired residence is located in the exotic country of Singapore.This house was designed as a retreat for the body, mind and soul. The luxuriant vegetation encompassing the house had a strong influence in its current architectural structure. The client asked for a relaxing living space, a haven that embraces nature and makes it part of it. The house consists of a main volume, a large pavilion that houses the main spaces while a supporting wing perpendicular of this pavilion houses the more private spaces. Protected under large overhangs at the east and western end, the house is shielded from the harsh tropical sun.
