Architecture changes from generation to generation, and it has a lot of meanings that differ from country to country. Architecture comes in all forms, shapes, sizes, colour, culture, and functions. It continues to evolve to accommodate the needs of mankind.
A cosmopolitan country like Singapore offers different architecture from colonial buildings to cutting-edge skyscrapers to showcase innovation and development such as house architecture to commercial architectural designs.
Architecture is part of our everyday life as part of humanity. Ever since I was young, I have always walked or running around the city to look at these buildings throughout the day and I feel like the world could be a much more beautiful place.
I once dreamt to become one of the top architects that could make a difference like those architectures from a different part of the world, and like the famous top architect that leaves a mark of their aesthetic designs.
So, after sometimes appreciating the aesthetic of these architectures' design. I remember that we have an old building that needs renovation, my father asks to find an architecture company in Singapore that specialises in house architecture. One architecture company caught my attention when I visited their architecture firm.
Inside the architecture firms, I ask for a consultation with one of the aces or top architects who specialises in house architecture; I brought some pictures of our property that we wish to change the architectural design and make sure that they will a sustainable structure.
House architecture
I told them this property will serve as our holiday house, the location near the seaside, and we wanted to preserve the trees around the place. They told me it's possible and they have architectural design strategies to make it happen.
After our consultation, they’ve contacted to update that they are almost finished making the blueprint for both interior and exterior design.
To my surprise, the play of elements the timber cladding, panoramic glass and dark-coloured metal ties all together to create a contemporary architectural design.
To create a fundamental space for the trees, they designed a three uniquely corner, also letting a natural light from the sun pass through. They said that the aim is to intensify the natural environment by adding bits of modernisation on the side.
During the renovation, I notice how careful to build first the foundation, this is the lower portion of the building, and before they could pour a load of concrete cement. They dig deeper beneath the earth's surface to endure the durability of the building. They also added a pillar of steels to a better foundation for the house architecture.
They set the renovation to finish after a few months of construction; They just need to add an architectural finishing to enhance the textures, the colour, and the materials. They even suggested having a waterproofing as one of the final touches to ensure that there so, we will find no water leaks in time.
