This project is an Addition and Alteration (A&A) of an existing house along Wilkinson Road, Singapore. Much of the original structure was retained, including the triple-volume void. The design works with these inherited elements, clarifying their purpose and re-establishing spatial order without erasing the building’s existing framework.

The design treats light as a primary building material. The triple-volume void anchors the home as an apparatus for capturing diurnal shifts and translating them into a spatial narrative. As the sun moves, the void brightens, compresses, softens, and fades with passing of light through the day.

Its east-facing façade is replaced with 6-metre-high frameless glass panes, while the southern side opens toward an elevated garden and roof terrace.

A new staircase is reorganised as a backdrop to the atrium, reinforcing the clarity of the section. Clad in matte stainless steel, it reflects soft gradients of daylight as one moves through the space. Ascending or descending the stair reveals subtle environmental shifts, making time and light directly perceptible through circulation.

A new Accoya timber trellis wraps the façade, tying the various elements together. It filters daylight, moderates solar exposure, and forms awnings over the entrance, balcony, and terraces. At the front, a new balcony is lowered beneath the crown of an existing roadside tree, borrowing its shade and making it the primary outlook from the master bedroom.

Situated within the historic Peranakan enclave of Emerald Hill, this project reinterprets the traditional Chinese Baroque shophouse as a contemporary residence that seamlessly integrates heritage conservation with modern family living.

A Home of Elegance and Curation. This residence is designed as a series of curated spaces that blend luxury with purposeful composition. Every corner is thoughtfully framed to enhance daily living while also serving as a backdrop for content creation, gatherings, and personal expression.

Bringing in daylight into the terrace house is often one of the most common requirements by house owners since windows are restricted to the front and back façade and most often than not, these façades are reserved for private bedrooms which block light into the common spaces. This is especially so when terrace houses are extended beyond 3-storeys where deep light-wells become less effective.

Sitting in a landlocked site bounded by higher neighbouring developments, the Light House was structured as a U-shaped courtyard formed by 3 stacked volumes with inward-looking views.

The Glass Block house is a reconstruction of an existing 2-storey semi-detached house to create an additional floor.

A small bricked, 2-storey conserved bungalow sits atop a 30-metre-wide by 100-metre-long slopping site. Elevated 12 meters high at the North, the 20th century Plantation Estate overlooks large terracing grass fields which terminates southwards into a luscious mixture of mature tropical trees such as Tembusu, Angsana, Ficus and Palms.

Type0 Architecture has completed a small house for a young family. The interior constructed in birch plywood, forms a series of intimate spaces, nooks and hideouts that are organized around a light well.

The architecture recedes, making space for the family’s curation of their Home.

The Lightwell house is an addition and alteration project of an intermediate terrace house consisting of a rear and roof extension.
