the rOund window house

This project reimagines a typical USJ 4 terrace house into a warm, contemporary façade defined by brick, shadow, and nature. The key gesture is the brick tower with a circular arched window, introduced as a strong architectural feature that anchors the elevation and creates a distinct identity for the home. To enhance privacy—especially with the property facing an open football field—layered landscaping is strategically added. The planting softens the frontage while forming a natural screen that filters views into the home without compromising light. The entire exterior is coated in deep matte black, allowing the brickwork to stand out as the main sculptural element. This contrast highlights the textures, shadows, and proportions of the design, giving the house a bold yet refined presence.
