Rain Tree House / Guz Architects

The rain tree house was conceived as a multigenerational family house arranged around a large garden and a beautiful old rain tree which was protected and preserved. The house was designed with passive cooling measures integrated into the design, with large overhanging roofs to protect from sun and rain in Singapore’s hot, humid climate.  Ponds and pools were also integrated into the design, as were roof gardens, all to help passively cool the house.   All spaces closely relate to the green spaces around the house, creating a seamless transition between inside and outside.
