Concept
Taman Selamat was a reconstruction project to rejuvenate and maximize a 2-storey terrace in Upper East Coast. We approached the brief using by building a 3rd storey while transforming the front facade using modern architectural elements
Approach
The key reconstruction elements included building a 3rd storey that included an open roof terrace, along with transforming the front facade. A back extension was also done to maximize the plot ratio, with a central courtyard built to relate the design across all storeys. Internally, a modern colonial aesthetic was used
Functionality
The back extension created new built-in area that was utilized as a wet kitchen and a granny room on the 1st storey, and a master bedroom on the 2nd storey. On the 3rd storey, the new space featured an entertainment area and a guest room, alongside open roof terraces
