Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Habitus 63 is arguably the most aspirational issue of the year with Kitchens & Bathrooms to dream about. Whether a family hub, an entertainer’s paradise or somewhere to grad a quick meal, how we live in and spend time in the kitchen is a very personal question that requires thought and an abundance of resources. Always the aspirational eye candy of design, we have some truly lovely kitchens from Greg Natale, YSG, Splinter Society, Sally Caroline and Studio Johnston. Bathrooms are just as important with Greg Natale, Studio Tate, YSG and Those Architects sharing some fabulous insights

Farm’s Wall House: A tale of two homes

Singapore

Cross-disciplinary design practice Farm’s Wall House is a tale of two houses – similar, yet independent.


The Singapore project sees two blocks sitting on a sprawling piece of land, coming together to form a coherent whole. Suitably for such a cohesive project, the blocks themselves belong to a retired couple, and one of their children

This separation of the house into two blocks was both a response to the sheer scale of the land and a requirement given by the clients. Programmatically, it consists of a two-storey block with the main living and master bedroom area, and a single-storey block housing the entertainment areas of the house.

Farm linked the two areas together with a huge central courtyard at the entrance, expressing an austere geometry of granite floor and wall. An organically shaped oculus and a minimalist planting of six willowy trees complete the resplendent landscape. Recalling a sparse and artful Chinese landscape painting, this entrance sets the tone for the rest of the spaces.

The design of the landscape, also handled by Farm, is similar to the house, and is also experienced in multiple correlated layers. Taking inspiration from the philosophy of classical Chinese gardens where views are borrowed through cutouts and vistas, where sight lines and spaces overlap and entice.
