The 2-storey house along Lorong Selangat was designed for a family of four who entertains frequently and often in separate groups. Beside their private bedrooms, the house was planned to allow maximum use of the communal spaces for entertainment. The house spans four levels, from basement to attic, each floor having different programmatic demands. Hence, we derived formal strategies that celebrate these vertically stratified spaces, making the transition from one level to the next an experience.

The Rock
The Basement was conceived as an abstracted geological formation, an outcrop where rest of the building sits. The central opening to the basement revealed itself as a ravine that separates the 25m-lap pool and the full length of the cave-like movie and billiard lounge.

The red box, housing most of the private abodes in the upper floor, levitates above the ground stratum, leaving the spaces open to the landscape.The Sail
The soaring roof wraps the attic space as while connects to the outdoor lounge in the roof deck.
