The Golden Box an un-private house in Singapore

July 05, 2011 Category: House, Residential

The Golden Box an un-private house designed by K2LD Architects is located in Singapore. It is an ‘un-private’ house. The ground level living space is a 26 m long and 6 m wide column free space with 3-sided full-height glass panels exposing the user within. It brings in the views from the outside, taking advantage of the abundant greenery in the surroundings. Behind the glass wall is a row of bamboo chosen for screening. It acts as a foreground for the floating golden mesh and serves as a backdrop for the people sitting in the living space.

The main feature of the house is the varying porosity of golden mesh. This golden mesh acts as a light veil over the private glassed areas of the 2nd storey. During the night, the screen dissolves and unveils the events within the house when the house is lit. It is a contemporary house embracing the idea of an open concept living – unabashedly inviting passers-by envious glances to luxurious living.
