Archifest 2009-RT&Q

Rene Tan of RT&Q showed us to his house as part of the Archifest 2009 Safari tour.

The house has been published in numerous Singapore Architecture magazines.

Nestled in a delightful suburb of Watten Estate, the terrace house is unassuming in its external treatment.

Rene managed to fit a long swimming pool into the plot of land.

This pool effectively serves to give the impression of the terrace as separated from its neighbbour.

The pool, while possibly too narrow to swim in, acts as an effective buffer from the neighbour.

It also works well as a water feature at the living room!
The following pictures show the pool as well as the toilet that is cleverly hidden behind.

The wc is elevated on a marble slab. Water surrounds the wc.

There are definitely many moments of interest in the house. Here are some of them that caught my eye -  enjoy...
