On a challenging corner terrain in Singapore, HYLA Architects envisioned and implemented Lines of Light Residence, an imposing dwelling with a modern glass facade: “This terrace sits on a corner site and thus the full side of the house fronts the side street. To preserve the privacy but still allowing light and ventilation, a slatted timber screen covers the entire side elevation.

At the front, an outdoor terrace with a high volume fronts the main garden. Space continues into the double volume living room with a feature book shelf that extends two stories”, explained the project developers at HYLA.
According to the architects, the first level was envisioned in an open plan, with large glass sliding doors opening up to the lush side garden. One enters the house into the triple volume space with the cantilevered stairs on both sides of the walls.
The living, dining and kitchen areas are all located on the bottom floor, while the bedrooms were placed on the second and third level, for a higher level of privacy. With a color palette dominated by black and white with wooden accents, the design scheme pays tribute to an elegant modern style.
