The project ‘Our Sanctuary’, is an apartment unit designed for multi-generational families, aiming to create a collaborative living space that nurtures daily intimacy while honouring each person’s need for sanctuary. The concept of the design is to utilise outdoor spaces to create personal spaces for the people in the family as they escape through an outdoor space into their own retreat. As such, a large part of everyone’s personal space in the house is made up of outdoor space and they enter their bedroom through their own personal garden.
This concept of walking through an outdoor space to enter their rooms is also applied to the design of the apartment on a larger scale whereby the family walks through semi outdoor spaces filled with greenery before they enter the house. These green buffer spaces along the corridors also tries to bring the outer landscape of Bras Basah into the house through very large and porous windows as the members of the family walks through the layers of green landscape as they enter their sanctuary that is their home.
