This bungalow across the Causeway impressed readers when it appeared as the cover story of the June 2019 edition of Singapore Tatler Homes. Alan Tay and Seetoh Kum Loon, partners of Formwerkz, were given free reign with the design concept—the owners’ only request was that the space be conducive for entertaining and family bonding, while maintaining plenty of privacy. Lush surroundings, wooden furniture and a colourful array of art complete the residence’s tropical look and feel. The home’s centrepiece is the dynamic timber ceiling, the unifying element and the most distinctive part of the abode’s overall design.
