As a part of our special collaboration with Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA), this week, we tour the Raumplan House, a living embodiment of Adolf Loos’ revolutionary architectural concept of spatial planning from the 1920s. This unique intermediate terrace house, designed by Alan Tay of Formwerkz Architects, stands as a testament to the seamless fusion of spaces, in stark contrast to the conventional stacked layout of levels. This Merit Award winner at the Singapore Institute of Architects Architectural Design Awards offers an intricate interweaving of split-levels, terraces, and atriums, creating an extraordinary living experience for its family of four.

The property’s design puts nature at its core, inviting the outdoors in through by merging the garden with the house. One of the biggest themes of the home was to bring light into the middle of it, and the home’s central atrium gives the sensation of being outside, even when indoors. The family’s love for natural light reflects their experiences in the Netherlands, where they developed an appreciation for well-lit spaces to counter the country’s dark, gloomy winters.

Strategically designed and positioned spaces offer a sense of connectivity and shared experiences within the house. The double-volume dining area, is the heart of the house, and is observable from multiple points in the house, creating delightful connections for the residents. And yet, each bedroom offers a tranquil retreat, nestled privately on the upper floors.

The back yard of the home, is less of what you typically see as a service yard, but a garden space that connects to the landscape behind.

Finally, the master bedroom exudes a sense of warmth unlike the rest of the home. It overlooks the green estate, and the master bathroom has a spectacular frame-like view of lush greenery from the planter boxes. What really makes it unique though, is the coffered timber ceiling, which brings more warmth even in the bathroom.

The Raumplan House transforms the idea of traditional living into a fresh, vibrant and sustainable space that brings the family closer in a remarkable way.

Special thanks to the homeowners for opening up their space to us! For more on this home, please visit: http://formwerkz.com/projects-houses/

  1. eh not bad. very clever. main thing I want to know is how to manage maintenance of plants and trees.

  2. But the house looks cold, dark and narrow…. The concrete makes it cold… Very bad design..

  3. Very interesting n unusual design! But how do u get up all those stairs if u are wheelchair dependant in future? Is there a built-in lift?

  4. Maybe a bit dark some areas, but i like it also bc the house is connected to the nature, inside you can breath the outside.
    Another fact: How great and cinematic is this filmed!!! Fantastic work!!! I enjoyed every second of this stacked home movie 🤩

  5. Nice to see Architects but more so home owners willing to embrace the beauty of the tropics 👍

  6. My favourite so far. It's gorgeous. The darkness others are referring to is likely caused by dynamic contrast, keeping consistent tone and settings across the video production and the camera shooting towards a source of bright light. My own house has 6 meter ceilings and the height provides the sense of space and lightness, and much less the size of openings. As an example, consider how light and airy modern museums feel and yet they often have no or few natural light sources, only very high and open space designs.
