Completed in Singapore 2002, the Nim Crescent house was designed by the K2LD Architects and displays an open garden to create a clear separation of functions without the conventional use of spacial dividers. The interlocking volumes creates separate activity areas while the outside and inside blur together in unison. The crisp, clean and contemporary lines give the viewer a seamless interplay of living spaces with a matching landscape to create a large open ground plane with no apparent clarity to spatial segregation.
The clever use of organic material throughout, reveals a splendour of steel, wood, glass and stone all in one. The house has two separate levels, though from the outside it gives the illusion of being a single level dwelling. Supported by concrete columns and cantilevered rooflines, the house breathes an atmosphere of tranquility and serenity. The massive glass walls give ample opportunity for daylight to stream in and open up the entire space.
K2LD Architects included a swimming pool adjacent to the living room, with a minimalistic glass wall separating the two spaces, creates a sense of having an open body of natural water inside the living room. Matched with sparse and well chosen greenery, the house reflects nature as if it was created by nature itself. The living-room is dominated also by a massive stone decorated wall, highlighting the natural effect of being completely in a beautifully orchestrated wilderness.
The well chosen furniture with modernism inspirations blends seamlessly together, in total harmony with the rest of the house. This dwelling will relieves all tensions from the visitor when he enters it. It is so perfect in harmony with its surroundings, it reflects a dream within a dream. Once you’re inside, you will never want to escape the feeling of having a dream vacation within your own house. It is perfection in heaven on earth.
