Zigzag House
Detached Residential Building with basement
Location: Singapore
Status: completed
*Arch. Abueva as Senior Architectural Designer at MOD
The house acquires its unique form via a series of formal maneuvers around a mature tree located on its long and triangulated lot. The building's twisting form creates "in-between" spaces which provide shelter and simultaneously allow for cross ventilation and filtered light. Courtyards, captured by the turning of the twisted building form, bring light into the basement service areas. Internal corridors serve as breezeways between air-conditioned and naturally cooled areas. Slightly lofted over the ground, the building segments house an entertainment zone, a family zone and a private master zone. Seen as a seamless singular form, the building reads as both sheltering building as well as abstracted sculpture.
