Sleek, Seductive, Sophisticated: Another Charmer from Ong & Ong

Singapore’s Ong & Ong has a recognisable look, one that absorbs urban Singapore’s sumptuous colonial history and modernises it.

Sophisticated and sleek, 45 Faber is another of the firm’s predictably urbane city houses.

Here a feature is made of a necessity, because the stairs would have interrupted the view.

A colossal spiral staircase is designed to be an art piece.

The spare use of natural materials such the teak inset for the treads do not overpower the shell-shape design.

And you can also see parallels in this to their Sublime Tropical House from Singapore’s Ong & Ong.

An upstairs deck allows a view down to the pool, a luxury in the city, as in their Ong & Ong Make a Cooled Singapore Beach House.

With no steps down from the living space, when the glass curtain wall is slid back, the pool and the completely flat garden becomes an extension of the interior, essentially doubling the interior space.

Smooth and flat, the interior blends seamlessly with the exterior.

It all becomes one very citified space.
