Mesmo sendo tão contemporânea, ela também está em equilíbrio com a natureza. O conceito do design é criar espaços abertos e cheios de luz que também oferecem privacidade. O primeiro andar tem paredes envidraçadas que levam direto para a piscina. Esta piscina, com um jardim nas proximidades, separa a casa em duas partes e é o lugar perfeito para relaxar e passar tempo com amigos e família. O segundo piso inteiro na parte principal da casa é destinado à suíte máster / espaço para estudo. O interior tem um estilo minimalista com materiais modernos e TV com equipamentos de música escondidos……….Mais [...] [...] Projetada pela Ong & Ong, esta casa em Singapura é um dos grandes exemplos de design residencial moderno e minimalista.

Inside, some kind of vertical sci-fi Mao museum hell where ideas are whited out and even the climbing plants can’t find purchase on the sides of the sheer drop down (how do they clean between those vertical metal slats?). I wonder whether there is anything the inhabitants do that doesn’t involve some kind of water torture; we see the pool dominating the living room, the pool dominating the other kitchen end, the shower, the bath, the kitchen sink… in a climate as extremely humid as Singapore’s, everything in the house must be damp and tacky to touch …and that white-eyed monstrous portrait (Mao again?) on the left wall is horrific. I don’t see a way out of that pool. No ladder, no steps. No way out of the cartoon blurred falling lines shaft at the bottom of which the pool continues to visually plunge ever downward. I feel for that poor lonely tree. Why do architects always sentence poor, often little, trees to solitary confinement in these terrible imprisoning courtyards? The walls are confining, squeezing inward from the sides. The stairs are sharp, like a drill-bit. So, what is the statement being made here? ‘We are believers in the capitalist god, who keep Mao prisoner and force his portrait to watch us acquire and spend’ or is it ‘We display a mere façade of capitalist sympathy, while in reality our entire interior is a shrine to Communism and to no-privacy-or-colour-or-other-personal-expression-permitted’? Either way, there is something cruel at work. It is strange to me that this style is called ‘minimalist’ when in fact it is so often, as here, absolutely loaded with signs.
