Placing a pool on the rooftop of a shophouse is an architectural feat by any
standards. Certainly an unusual feature in a shophouse, the design of this house
lends itself to a creative use of space- the central courtyard has been
converted into a water feature. Opening up to water feature is the dining room,
creating opportunities for an aesthetic and sensorial dining experience. The
design of the house is clean-lined and modern, with a neutral colour palette of
white, brown, grey and slate black. Textures vary from being smooth and
utilitarian for the actual living space to more interesting natural textures
incorporated in the outdoor living spaces.
With a private car porch- another
decidedly beneficial feature in a shophouse, this house is for rent for $18k.
