83 Braemar位于新加坡较安静的中心地带,是一栋三层楼的排屋,彰显了学士的冒险生活精神。白天,它的外墙被概念化为水平体量的马赛克,反映了20世纪初的纯粹主义风格,它的体量消散在一个柔和的照明轮廓中,在夜晚散发着舒适的温暖。

Located in one of the quieter heartlands of Singapore is 83 Braemar, a three-story terrace house gracing a Bachelor’s spirit for adventurous living. Standing out distinctly in the day – its façade conceptualized as a mosaic of horizontal volumes mirroring the Purist style of the early 1900s, its volume dissipates into one of a gently illuminated silhouette exuding a comforting warmth long into the night.

钢筋混凝土的核心结构元素,以野蛮主义的方式庆祝其材料的完整性,框架住宅的主要生活空间,迎接人们进入。深色的硬木被用于隐藏在双层空间内的储藏室,创造了一种舒适的奢华气氛,但又不失谦逊的特点。走到尽头的是一段狭窄的楼梯,让人进入到跨过门槛进入私人住所的队伍中。

Core structural elements in reinforced concrete, celebrating its material integrity in the manner of Brutalism, frame the main living space of the dwelling greeting one upon entering. Dark-hued hardwood employed in the finish of storage well concealed within the double volumed space creates the atmosphere of a cozy luxury paradoxically humble in character. Flushed to an end is a narrow flight of stairs setting one into the procession of crossing a threshold into the private quarters.

中途一个象征性的转弯,让人发现了主卧室和浴室,每一个都是不同的风格,但却奇怪地搭配在一起。主卧室采用了醇厚的大地色系,而进入浴室后,人们似乎被带到了另一个地方,被设计成热带地区的日本 “温泉”。虽然大窗户鼓励了愉快的日光渗透,但通过采用热带建筑中常见的深屋檐,也考虑到了隐私。对热带气候的不可预测性的敏感性体现在人们能够在这个交叉通风的空间里享受户外的景色,即使是在最脆弱的时刻。

A symbolic U-turn midway leads one to the discovery of the Master Bedroom and Bath, each of a different style yet strangely paired in harmony. Mellowed earth tones are employed in the Master Bedroom, while one is seemingly transported somewhere else upon entering the Bath designed as a Japanese “Onsen” in the setting of the tropics. While large windows encourage the permeation of delightful daylighting, privacy is taken into consideration through the employing of deep eaves commonly found in Tropical Architecture. The sensitivity towards the unpredictability of the Tropical climate is evident in the ability of one to enjoy outdoor views in this cross-ventilated space even in moments of most vulnerability.

最后登上楼梯,人们被邀请进入住宅的核心–一个专门的阅读室,再次将人们带到了遥远的其他地方。深邃的书架记录了经验丰富的旅行者的许多冒险经历,珍贵的书籍和文化收藏品汇集在一起,成为日本 “旅馆 “环境中的个人博物馆。专门的盥洗室全部采用绿松石Kit-Kat瓷砖,再次激起了熟悉的似曾相识的感觉,这归功于折衷主义风格的并置,也肯定了83 Braemar被描述为 “世界中的世界 “的最佳居所。

A final ascend up the flight of stairs invites one into the very heart of the dwelling – a dedicated reading chamber once again transporting one to a distant elsewhere. Deep shelves chronicle the many adventures of the seasoned traveler, with treasured books and cultural collections coming together as a personal museum in a Japanese “Ryokan” setting. The dedicated lavatory decked full-out in turquoise kit-kat tiles once again stirs a familiar deja vu attributing to the juxtaposition of eclectic styles, and the affirmation of 83 Braemar being best described as a dwelling of “worlds within the world ”.
