Conservation home on Cairnhill catering to the whims of the young and urbane,
bred on a metropolitan lifestyle. A waterfall serves as the focal point upon
entrance. With mosaic tiling replicating an acid trip effect, it lends a surreal
atmosphere to the living room.
A clean visual sweep is effected from the entrance to the kitchen through the
use of glass walls, creating an open concept effect, thus eliminating the
claustrophobia one usually experiences with shophouses.
One floor up is the family or entertaining area, leading to a guest room.
Most bedrooms have generous sizes and come with a unique, distinctive
feature. A generous sized bedroom on the second floor with interesting boutique
hotel-styled toilet the playful mosaic tiling and full glass doors for the
shower. The master bedroom comes with a luxuriant toilet- a large drawing room
upon entrance to the master bath with a long bathtub, surrounded by the same
full glass windows looking down into the kitchen, allowing for an incredible
sense of openness and space.
A small attic room comes with a an attic level bath that benefits from a
skylight allowing rays of sunlight in. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy;
perfect for long-term guests. Yet another smaller bedroom which can be
used as a study, opens up to an open roof terrace on the third floor. The
individual touches throughout the house and thoughtful, modern insights (glass
walls, skylights in attic toilets, funky shower stand detailing), makes this
house a joy to discover while pushing the envelope of conservation. Much
innovation and creativity has been seen behind the staid walls of conservation
homes and this house stands as one of the best laid-out.
