31 Jalan Jelita
Project Scope: New
Completion: 2018
Sandwiched between Jalan Jelita at the front and the lush railway corridor at the rear, this 2-storey semi-detached house with an attic and basement was conceptualised as a ‘Front-Front House’—a formal front addressing the main entrance from Jalan Jelita, and an informal front-facing and borrowing from the large expanse of greenery of the rail corridor.
Capitalising on this unique contextual setting, the design opened up the 1st storey living and dining hall as a porous and momentary pause between the beautiful surrounding nature. The staircase is similarly designed as a light and porous feature that flows seamlessly from the attic to the light-filled basement.
