Lush Gardens And Peekaboo Roof Pool Define Modern Property


lush gardens peekaboo roof pool define contemporary home front thumb Lush Gardens And Peekaboo Roof Pool Define Modern Property home design

Merryn Road 40A, positioned in Singapore was designed by Aamer Architects to be the third in a row of 3 residences all owned by the very same particular person. Two of the residences exactly where constructed over a decade ago and the owner recently bought an adjacent house that he wanted a third house constructed on, a single for him and his wife and one for each of his two young adult sons. This third home would be harmonious with the 1st two, although at the identical time getting totally different. The brief included the inclusion of a garden courtyard and koi pond as well as a swimming pool and lush garden places.

With the courtyard featuring a koi pond a lush garden, and outside lounging location, there was no room for a pool nevertheless, the architects gave the owner a pool with a sweeping rooftop view of the neighbourhood thanks to the 2 storey bungalows that fill the region. The rooftop pool is developed with an end panel of glass overlooking the front yard, and a sunken glass “rug” in the centre of the pool searching down into the house. The front yard is made with lush plantings that flank the driveway and spill onto the glass overhang sheltering the primary entrance although a 3 storey wooden trellis on the side brings the garden up to the pool level.

The driveway is constructed with cobbled bricks whilst the side of the property is rough rock, these two textures are contrasted nicely by the smooth finish of the black powder coated steel and glass overhang that protects the major entrance, as nicely as by the blast of colourful cool blue peeking out from the roof.

While most properties function the entry, Merryn Road 40A chooses rather to play up the surrounding gardens and the roof top pool with the entry fading casually into the facade. If it weren’;t for the glass overhang, the entry would nearly be invisible.

the trellis around the corner from the entry is built with vertical timbers that extend up and more than the pool, making a sheltering arbour impact. Vines wrap and twist around the trellis timbers, generating a vertical garden of geometric interest.

The trellis starts its rise from the private courtyard just outdoors the social zone. Surrounded by other lush plantings, the timbers blend with the thin trunks of the surrounding palms.

From a distance, the trellis emerges from the landscaping and provides some privacy to the rooftop pool.

Even though the trellis brings the vines up and more than the pool deck, the landscaped plantings on the far side of the property rise above and spill more than the edge of the roof as nicely.

With all the vegetation, its almost tough to envision the pool is high above the ground, I say virtually since the view gives the height away, as does the sunken rug window hunting down into the courtyard.

The view from the courtyard up into the pool is an ever altering rippling water and the odd swimmer passing by.

At the back of the pool is a rooftop loved ones area complete with Tv. Behind the household area is a powder room and beside it is a pantry. The rows of vertical steel rods are the balustrade to the spiral staircase that accesses the deck.
