Teak Screens Provide Privacy, Natural Light, And Ventilation In This Home

This home in Singapore, located in front of a bus-stop at a junction of a minor road and a busy main road, definitely stands out from the crowd with its concrete and teak screen form.

The home, designed by Aamer Architects, combines raw off-form concrete and crafted solid teak screens from Bali, to create a unique look.

By using the teak screens on the home, they help to protect the home from the harsh urban environment without compromising on views, natural light and ventilation.

Concrete boundary walls and lush landscaping allow the home owners to have a private space to enjoy the swimming pool and main floor without being seen from the street.

Inside, there’s an open living room with a double-height ceiling and large fan, allowing for the air to circulate, a much-needed feature for a hot climate.

Above the main living area, there’s a small library and desk on the mezzanine.

On the top floor, there’s a master bedroom with a wood ceiling and sitting area.
