This week, we visit one of the most uniquely designed homes that were specially built for a family with two young daughters.
Designed by Gwen Tan of Formwerkz Architects, it was conceptualised based on the brief from the family: the father wanted his daughters to experience the joy of running around freely as they were growing up. As such, the aptly named Ramp House was designed with ramps that wrap around the house that can take you from the garden on the ground floor to the rooftop 20-metre swimming pool.
Homes like this are as much about the property underneath as the design on top. The right layout, block and tenure make renovations like these possible, or much harder to achieve later.
That's often where we help readers: evaluating the property first, before committing to a big purchase.
Over time, that's also why we decided to work with agents who shared the same data-driven and advisory-led approach behind our editorial, consultants who could help readers think through decisions more objectively, rather than simply push transactions.
Today, the team has worked with more than 2,000 clients across over $5B in property transactions.
The ramps also connect you to the various levels seamlessly, but more importantly, it also acts as a shield for the living spaces against the heat and tropics of Singapore’s weather.
The lower part of the ramp was made of a fibreglass crate that lets light and ventilation into the basement and landscape, while the top part of the ramp has a glass slot at the edge to bring light into the spaces.
Special thanks to Gwen for showing us around the beautiful home.
