Sentosa Bungalows

Sentosa Bungalows - SCDA



Off the island of Singapore is a piece of offshore paradise that's become an extremely expensive and exlcusive piece of real estate - Sentosa.

All the houses there have been commissioned to be designed by some of the most well-known architects in Singapore.

So, before all these houses complete construction and the rich kids move into 'em, I figured it would be nice to capture some of their more memorable designs. SCDA made a significant contribution in this respect...









A similar offering from SCDA was found at yet another house.



But the first to arrive from yet the same firm, is this one that's nestled within tall green surroundgs. Managed to a glimpse but the sea facing side reveals a huge expanse of open out door space totally inviting for anyone. Now I wanna get invited to a party here...

The composition is pure clean lines articulated with a palette of coloured glass and timber and black powder-coated alumnium.
Pretty funky job guys.

The units are arranged alongside each other and are compactly situated. However, screening provides for both privacy and shade. The landscaping has an interesting mix of trees that adds variety to the enbtire ambience of the development.



As a whole, the development is well designed within a tight confines of the site. The full basement parking is provided with ample light and ventilation. Yet the voids on the landscaped ground floor is concealed from vision. The swimming pool and clubhouse is located at the centre and utilises the basement for the function room and toilets.

Well-worth having a sneak peak if you get the chance...
