Stevens Residence

Designed to be sensitive to its neighbours, the house is set back significantly from the property line to ensure greater breathability and privacy. Instead of a traditional car porch which extends from the house to the property line, an integrated porch was designed along the L-shape wing to free up the space in front of the house, and thus not overpopulating the streetscape.

Sustainability was a key consideration for the client and thus the design made use of several green solutions to create a comfortable environment for tropical living. The use of overhangs over the ground floor of the house, along with the pool which acts as a medium to cool the air creates a cool and pleasant experience for the family to enjoy the living area which can be opened up to create a seamless transition between interior and exterior. In addition, the roofs of the house are also fitted with photovoltaic panels to reduce the amount of electric consumption for the household.
