Named Fish House, this environmentally friendly sea front property is designed by Guz Architects for the client in Singapore. This modern property was designed to embraces the essence of living in the hot and humid climate of Singapore by creating an open breezy spaces, giving the residents views from every room to the ocean as well as into the garden with its large swimming pool that linking the house with the landscape. The architects main efforts is to create a residence with seamless integration of the surrounding nature and therefore water had to play a key in achieving that. The idea of connection is reinforced by having the basement level media-room with a u-shaped acrylic window which allows diffuse natural light in and also views out into the pool. The curved roofs, which symbolizing the sea waves, also emphasize the idea of the nearby sea. These are almost totally covered with thin bendable photovoltaic panels supplying enough energy to the house, while the remaining area is used as a green roof giving residents some outdoor leisure spaces. Fish House is a modest and yet luxurious residential design which gives residents opportunities to live in harmony and comfortably with nature.
