Nautical Lines is a nautical-themed, eco-friendly waterfront house featuring large expanses of fenestration to maximize the views, designed by Greg Shand Architects and located in Singapore. This modern residence features a sinuous wave envelope with large overhangs, which helps provide shading from the hot east and west sunshine, while opening to both the north and south.
Reminiscent of a boat hull, the underside of the ceiling has been clad in recycled teak. There is plenty of natural cross ventilation provided from the sliding glass doors, which the owner opens to allow fresh breezes from the water to flow throughout. To reduce solar heat gain, recycled timber has been used for the external decking.
“Extensive low-e glazing affords views of the waterway to the North and the South China Sea to the South. Where a view of the ocean has not been offered, the walls and built-in elements of the spaces are curved to provide a continuous reminder of the home’s seafront context. As an example, the master bathroom walls feature flowing curves with a shaded skylight, affording views of the sky, and a curved roof above,” states the architect.
The walls, floor, and ceiling of the bathroom form a sinuous, curved envelope clad with stainless steel, and all bathroom fixtures, including basins, the water closet, and shower fittings, echo this fluid, curvaceous nautical theme.
