Project: “House @ Clover”
Company: The Carpenter’s Workshop
Designer(s): Victor Ting, Tina Lee, Singapore
Category: Interior Design, Professional
Entry Description:
This is a 40 year old double storey house in Singapore. Through an extension at the rear part of the house and an addition of an attic, the original built in space was increased from 145sqm to 223sqm. The spacious new attic with an adjoining balcony that faces the park serves as a tranquil family activity area. Keeping in mind the common issue of a lack of light and airflow for many inter-terraces in Singapore, a double volume ceiling was created for this house. This was done with the relocation of the staircase to the side and removing two of the original rooms so as to make space for the double volume ceiling in the living room. At the same time, a new room was created at the area where the original staircase used to stand. A link bridge on the second storey act as a divider to demarcate the study area and the sleeping area.

Entry Description:
This is a 40 year old apartment located in the east side of the island state of Singapore. A complete revamp was done and the space was converted into the office of an interior design firm. Beyond a mere workspace, the revamped unit has a spacious kitchen as well as a chill out area at the back where the designers can cook up a good meal to relax and commune. The creation of an airwell adds a touch of green while allowing natural light into the interior, providing a calming backdrop to the working area. The handrails used in the same area is of Peranakan origin, a cross-cultural group in some parts of Asia, including Singapore. The original window grilles & ventilation blocks used in Singapore in 1970s were retained at the front part of the unit, forming an almost conversational juxtaposition between the past and the present.

Entry Description:
A 50 year old single storey inter-terrace in Singapore was rebuilt into a two storey house with an attic. Attention was given to the interaction between the internal and external of the house and one of the ways this was done was the creation of an internal courtyard strategically located between the living and dining areas. This allows both the kitchen and living areas to open up to skylight and fresh air when the doors to the internal courtyard are opened. On top of the internal courtyard, the patio with koi pond and internal balconies in the bedrooms all serve as personal unwinding spaces as well as communal spaces for the family.
