Vale House: Designed for Tropical Family Living in Singapore
This contemporary family home in Singapore, designed by Ming Architects in 2023, offers a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living. The Vale House features a practical four-bedroom layout with a close connection to nature, addressing the challenges of its front-facing, busy street location through a deliberate design strategy. By creating an internal courtyard, the architects have turned the views inward, amplifying the tropical living experience and introducing natural light, ventilation, and lush greenery throughout the three-story residence.
About Vale House
In 2023, Ming Architects designed a contemporary family home in Singapore, aptly named Vale House. Crafted for a young couple with children, this practical and nature-inspired abode offers a close connection to the outdoors. Designed for Privacy and Serenity
