The Meera House by Guz Architects
Guz Architects have sent us the Meera House they have designed in Singapore.
.
Description from the architects:
This house is located on a new housing estate on the island of Sentosa adjacent to Singapore. The plots are not large and neighbouring buildings are built close to the sides of each house.
Thus our strategy was to build a solid wall to each side neighbor to provide privacy where possible, while creating a central light and stair well which would funnel the sea breeze through the centre of the building. The front and rear of the building meanwhile, terrace back allowing each storey to have visual or actual access to greenery.
The intention was to try to allow each roof garden provided a base for the storey above allowing the layered effect to make each storey feel like it was a single storey dwelling sitting in a garden…..as much as we could do in the close confines of sentosa island and with such a large building!!

Such a nice place to stay. The room overlooking the city and the river gives a breathtaking view. I just wonder if it is safe to walk around the roof garden without having an accident like falling off.

I do agree with Carol regarding the security issues in the roof garden, but this is one of the most inspiring projects that I have seen, so I must just enjoy the images and run to their web site to look for more ideas.

Absolutely wonderful house, especially the pool concept!
For the roof gardens it should have at least minimal railings or hedges to prevent potential accidents but I guess didn’t wanna ruin the view.

I like it. But I have some question. How to cut the grass on the roof. Thanks you very much for green Idea.
