House @ 90 Duchess Avenue
Project Type: Residential
Completion: 2018
Every home has a story to tell. This townhouse tells the story of the family who moved from Rio Janeiro to Singapore and made this place home. Still, memories of their original home linger, and this attachment is given life through a double-storey picture wall of Rio de Janeiro’s landscape in the living room, serving as a comforting presence as well as a definite conversation starter.
Around the living area, walls are broken down, and spaces are connected into a continuum of views, light, and colours. Walls, floors, and ceilings are kept as simple white canvases for the play and display of everyday life. Lifestyle artefacts collected over time occupy every nook and cranny of the house, colluding to tell stories of the occupants’ love for life and everything nice.
