Tangga House by Guz Architects | HomeDSGN, a daily source for inspiration and fresh ideas on interior design and home decoration. - StumbleUpon. By Eric • Mar 23, 2011 • Selected Work The Tangga House is another Singapore’s dream home designed by Guz Architects. Completed in 2009, the 7,663 square foot residence is located in Holland Village, an elite district of Singapore that is famous amongst the expatriate community. The luxury single-family home gives the owners the opportunity to live in harmony and comfort with nature, in Singapore’s hot tropical climate. Tangga House by Guz Architects: “The house is a contemporary interpretation of a traditional courtyard house, laid out around a central green courtyard with a double height stair and entry area forming the focal point of the project. The L-shaped plan creates open spaces which encourage natural ventilation and offer resident’s views over the courtyard to the veranda, roof gardens and beyond.
Lushly planted roof gardens surround the house and add to the effect that nature is evident in every part of the house. Photos by: Patrick Bingham-Hall. Vally Nomidou. Amy Casey. Katie Lewis. Heatherwick Studio.
