This sensational project is the new erection of two storey bungalow with an attic and swimming pool, designed for a family by architecture studio HYLA, located in Singapore.

From the architects: Formerly a semi-detached house, this site was converted to a bungalow. A lap pool is placed between the new house and the party wall, creating a private courtyard space.

The first storey opens up to this space with the living, dining and dry kitchen adjacent.

A unique spiral staircase connects the master bedroom to the study above.

Upstairs, the master bathroom features a rainforest tree in the middle.

The kids rooms are custom-designed to the children’s own brief as are their bathrooms.

Here, the shelves are inspired by the shape of the Ligne Roset sofas.
