house of the week 91: House at Berrima

This pair of townhouses located along Berrima Road in the Adam Road district, Singapore was designed by K2LD Architects. Long and narrow, the houses share a central Oku – a spiritual void between which a tropical garden emerges for respite and contemplation. The houses employ passive design for cooling, notably in the concrete extrusions and recesses as well as the lap pool placed strategically on the roof for views and insulation.
