The barrel-shaped roof of Bewboc House sports unfinished concrete to give it an elegant and timeless look.
The annex’s barrel-shaped roof is fashioned out of unfinished concrete while its pine wood doors add a ‘monastic feel’.
A high angle view of the Bewboc House with its vaulted annex.
Bewboc House offers privacy, security, a great view of the outdoors and natural ventilation.
Bewboc House is a good example of sensible renovation that combines privacy, security, comfort and good ventilation in a pleasing package.
Adding further appeal to the annex are two large doors fashioned out of pine wood that open up to the garden.
The Bewboc House sports a voluminous living room that looks up to the study.
The inverted arch window or the “smiley” window at the side of the vault is drawn as a continuous ‘S’ shape as it meets the arched opening.
The children's room also has a view of the main study, as well as the front of the house.
"Everything is done for a reason, " says architect Tan, who opted to give his client a "smiley" window.
The balcony at the front of the annex can only be accessed from the master bedroom.
