A creative cluster and a new neighbourhood node. The site’s unique character inspired us to celebrate the key architectural elements of the former school while leaving enough room for imagination and curiosity.

A home that stands as a living gallery where art, childhood nostalgia, and contemporary elegance exist in perfect harmony, proving that true luxury is simply knowing how to play.

Reflective surfaces are integrated into the main bar and central furniture, bringing fragments of the ceiling down into the field of view. As guests approach, sit and move around the bar, the architecture appears again in reflection—sometimes whole, sometimes abstracted.

This giant roof is a key idea for many things: It integrates an old house with new spaces for the family, protects the family from the elements and prying eyes, and create spaces for nature within.

At the heart of the collective building lies a connecting spine—a common corridor that threads through the different shophouses. A Living Room for the neighbourhood—welcoming all, from families and youth to staff and visiting delegates, and fostering incidental encounters and shared experiences.
