Designed by Architect Mark Siapno, this 650sqm residence includes five bedrooms and an open layout for the dining and living rooms, easily enclosed for privacy by floor-to-ceiling glass doors. The home’s overall straightforward and low maintenance structure lets subtle design details take prominence. The onyx-stone wall that encloses the living room area is a statement on its own, especially when lit from within at night; pigmented-plaster finish paint used for the exterior walls add texture as well as ensure durability; and solid narra wood provides a hefty elegance to the house’s main door. Engineered wood is used throughout, while a narra-veneer lined wall conceals the powder room for a sleek finish.
