Excerpt: 25PBL-House, designed by ONG&ONG, revolves around a close-knit nucleus & hosting gatherings, which enabled to conceptualize the house for its users. A combination of solid wood panelling and fair-faced concrete for the exteriors hint at the design language for the living space within. A flight of steps to mitigate the proneness to floods in the area juxtaposes the abundance of teak and concrete. The open layout merges the bedrooms, central music area and study room to form an open playscape.

Project Description

[Text as submitted by architect] Young families tend to revolve around a close-knit nucleus and hosting gatherings, which enabled our designers to conceptualise the house for its users. A combination of solid wood panelling and fair-faced concrete for the exteriors hint at the design language for the living space within. A flight of steps to mitigate the proneness to floods in the area, juxtaposes with the abundance of teak and concrete. The ground level comprises the formal living areas of the home, with unobstructed views of the external garden.

Utility spaces are consolidated to a single band that line the shared wall of the semi-detached property, smartly disguised behind wall panels — a design replicated throughout the levels.  The helical staircase is the centrepiece of the home, designed to exquisite detail; comprising solid teak risers within a single sheet of metal with matte Marmorino finish. It takes you up into a more private family area and bar on the second floor, opening up to a large sheltered balcony and garden. Privacy was a key concern right from the onset; alongside spaces to entertain guests, the owners also wanted a place to retreat into and unwind. The slatted teak ceiling cladding on the second floor, which stretches out to the balcony and upwards onto the front facade, envelopes the private zones of the house — the third floor and attic.

At the heart of the sleek and modern house lies the third floor, designed around the owner’s children. The open layout merges the bedrooms, central music area and study room to form an open playscape. Designed to evolve with the family, large sliding panels remain hidden in the walls, ready to be drawn to create more privacy as the children get older.  The spiral staircase culminates at the attic, where the master bedroom is cladded in teak and bounded by outdoor greenery on both ends of the room, an entire level reserved for the couple to wind down after an exhausting day.
