At the junction of a busy main road, this corner terrace uses a series of movable screens to shield its 5 rooms away from prying eyes and the busy traffic. These additions and alterations add two more levels to the existing 2-storey house, as setback constraints did not allow any expansion horizontally. The movable screens are made from external phenolic board cladding and punctuated with 36 mm circular holes to filter light into the rooms behind. In contrast, the internal spaces are bright and airy. At the entrance, a cantilevered staircase of steel and marble floats over a decorative pond before flowing upwards into a 3-storey stairwell. Most of the spaces are sky-lit with perforated ceiling boards to continue the theme of the screens. [ View 3D ]
