Fish House-Singapore Home

By Guz Architects


This modern tropical bungalow encapsulates the essence of living in the hot and humid climate of Singapore by creating 
open spaces which encourage natural ventilation and offer residents views to the ocean.


 The main design concept is to create a house which has close
relationship with nature and this is achieved by having a swimming-pool linking the house with the landscape and ultimately
 visual connections with the sea. 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.
