With its quadrilateral roof and stark lines, this modern abode instantly stands out among its more conventional neighbours along Crescent Road. This newly built bungalow is home to a young family of four, who recently welcomed a new baby to their household. The homeowners, a married couple who work in the finance industry, had first approached Kelvin Bing of Renaissance Planners & Designers to build and integrate a swimming pool into their previous home. “The homeowner had originally wanted to extend his original bungalow house with a new pool area, but I said it wasn’t possible because of building restrictions,” explains the project and design director. The client had discovered the design director’s work on the internet and loved what he had done – so much so that he again contacted Bing a year later about a new unit he had purchased.
DREAM PROJECT
Situated on a rectangular plot of land that measures around 10,000sqft, the site offered the opportunity to build a brand new home for the client’s growing family, as well as the pool extension that the owner had originally desired. Besides wanting an abode that looks timeless and contemporary, he also wished to have a large entertainment area where friends and family could gather, as well as a spacious garage that’s able to house multiple cars for guests. The couple also kept most of the furniture from their previous home – primarily pieces from Italian brands such as Minotti, Flexform, Maxalto and Poliform – as well as iconic designs such as the Eames lounge chair and ottoman.
