The client, a bachelor, required a “chill out” entertaining space for friends and guests with the option of renting the property out. Only part of the original Dutch house remained and the original façade was completely bricked up by various ad hoc additions done by previous owners.

It was our job to create more light and rationalize the spaces, while still retaining as many original features as possible e.g. the black and white floor tiles at the main entrance.

To link the original structure, we added a new wing to accommodate the additional bedrooms. The new internal spaces with the finest teak glazed screens maximize the bedroom areas and nods respectfully at classic Japanese architecture.
