Smolhaven House / Choo Gim Wah Architect

The one-and-a-half storey, 1600-sq-ft abode adopts the stance of a hillside cabin albeit without the steep inclines and overt vernacular overtones. Its modernist rectilinear form is stilted like a traditional Malay kampung house, and immense two-tier platform thrusts over lawned terraces in frozen inertia. A corresponding pitched roof, with its 3.5-metre cantilever, enhances that captured movement to create the cabin’s dynamic silhouette.
