Archifest 2009-Lien Collectives: Terre Clubhouse

The clubhouse was actually the original house situated on the plot. Terre was engaged to restore and remodel the house to a clubhouse that is to be shared for all tenants of the 5 other houses once it is leased to their respective tenants.

The house retains its heritage by keeping certain key elements.
For instance, from the facade, the timber windows and the tiled roof remains intact and well-restored.


At the front entrance, the original chinese door frame was kept with an additional timber door built on the opening side.

A fern and pebble garden greets us upon entering, with a grand memorial plaque in the centre. It mentions the history of the house and their owners. A flight of stairs leads us to the 2nd storey upon entering at the front entrance.

The overall character of the house is very reminiscent of its chinese heritage. With the new elements, the architect seem to have made careful choices too. The selections all relate very well this heritage theme. Check out the long bath!

The design of the clubhouse was certainly a done in good measure and served as a focal point for the houses on the site. It was a reminder of its past and designed in a way that totally blended well with its green surrounds.

There were many gathering spaces, large dining areas, sitting areas and even a basement bar counter facing the greenery beyond.
