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

Bintong Park by MOD

Singapore

This residence by Ministry of Design makes the most
of water and light in Singapore


With average daily highs of
around 30-32ºC (86–90ºF), Singapore swelters all year round. With this in mind,
Ministry of Design (MOD) have designed a 1700 sqm home acclimatised to the
tropical climate. An addition and alteration based around an existing skeletal
structure, the house has a series of semi-sheltered spaces such as colonnades
and outdoor pavilions that serve as trasitional spaces.

Water is both a design
feature and functional in the use of a lap pool outdoors, sky-lit spa indoors
and water trimming the courtyard areas. The building almost seems to float on
its own stone ‘pedestal’ over a reflective pool.

The materials – limestone,
solid teak and whitewashed walls – are all in neutral tones, adding to the
cool, tropical feel, while meticulous detailing renders the home ‘invisible’.
MOD explain, “The house was conceived of as a ‘reductivist’ art sculpture as
well as a space for exhibiting the owner’s extensive art collection.”

Contemporary and minimalist, this house combines high design with climate
functionality in this tropical city.
