Duo-Double Volume House at Joo Chiat Walk

The Duo-double volume house is a corner terrace that the family of 4 envisaged to be a multi-generational house with a generous expanse of space, light and ventilation. Despite the new norm of working from home and home-based learning where family members work or study in their respective private rooms/areas, the close-knitted family wishes their new house to be designed to keep the family well-connected with each other.

Hence, the house is designed with 2 double volume spaces comprising of the 2^nd storey living/dining space and the mezzanine work/study studio that are juxtaposed to form a contiguous space to allow the flow of light, air and views to be connected.

The intersection point between these 2 double volume spaces is designed strategically as the work studios of the parents who would then have views from their mezzanine work studios towards the mezzanine study area and 2^nd storey living/dining.

The interior of the house adopts an “Oak Timber & Ash Grey” colour scheme that compliments and accentuates the high volume internal spaces with a lighter palette of colours and materials which gives a sense of lightness and spaciousness to the internal spaces of the house. Black and brass accents are strategically introduced to give a touch of luxury and at the same time framing specific views within the interior spaces.
