It may come as no surprise that the owners of
this Singaporean home had wanted something
out of the ordinary for their island hideaway.
Created by Landry Design Group with associ-
ate William Mungall as project architect, the
grand, sculptural residence is the owners reac-
tion reacting against the typical houses that they
had looked at on the resort island of Sentosa.
Instead, they wanted a home constructed
with a dramatic sculptural feel, and that offered
clean lines and a relaxed indoor-outdoor open-
ness that makes the most of the tropical climate.
Viewed from the street, the home’s white
stucco facade creates the sense of a substantial
home the owners required, but its most impact-
ful feature is its artistically configured forms.
“The trapezoidal shape repeated across the
front of the home in several orientations was
inspired by the shape of the site,” says Mungall.
“This angle – 7° off a true square – was worked
into the plans and facades as a playful contrast
to the rectilinear forms of neighbouring homes.”
Adding to the impact of the street frontage,
Mungall introduced two graphic elements to
the front facade. These panels are scored with
LED lights, creating a different effect at night.
