Concept

Novena Terrace was commissioned as an A&A project to transform a delibitated terrace with minimal light and low ceilings. We reconceptualized the house with Modern architecture influenced by styles from Australia. A modern bay window sits as the main feature of the house, alongside surrounding light strips to bring in natural light and air into the home

Approach

Our design started with a white colour palette as a canvas for us to play off the unique forms and accents in the facade. Light enters the terrace house generously with various window features built into the property. This creates a comfortable ambience in the internal space, embracing natural light and air. The bay window sits as the central feature, with the carporch design as another noteworthy element

Functionality

This house is split into two levels with high ceilings that maximize the internal space, with each fulfilling different aspects of the homeowner's needs. On the ground floor, there is a seamless transition between the living and dining areas. Private spaces were designed for the family on the upper floor, with 4 bedrooms

I would not hesitate to recommend TRACE to any of my friends who wish to build their own dream house. I was introduced to TRACE’s design and build services through an old colleague of my wife. We were able to transform our old terrace house into a brightly lit modern enclave with the help and service expertise rendered by TRACE. The conventional image of dark and poorly ventilated inter-terrace is a thing of the past. TRACE’s work achieved the best value for money.
