Cluny House by Guz Architects

Anna Kidman - Friday, March 11, 2011

 

Featured in our recent Week in Review, we felt this house needed further expansion. Reminiscent of work by architect Marcio Kogan, the Cluny house by Singaporean-based architects GUZ in Singapore engages its environment, with the house centered around a courtyard and living pool equipped with water plants, ferns and trees that arise from its tropical setting. The home, modernist in form, is open with communal areas (public areas that operate without walls), and private areas that are defined by a sense of tranquility and nature. The architects worked with a natural palette for the interior, embracing wood panel walls and off-white walls and floor to ceiling windows.
