    Known Edward in School of Architecture. He is indeed meticulous and a hardworking perfectionist. And it shows in the work. If you dont like this house, thats your opinion and that is fine....he designed it to please his wife, not everyone else. She loves it and that is enough. Kudos.... and please ignore all the salty comments on his hairstyle...

      didn't hate the hair, but certainly this guy can get a better hairdo! Just feel that both the architect and the tatler director have striking and unusual sense of style that stands out a lot but doesn't look good. Felt the love for his wife though.. it's pretty sweet!

    While I personally don’t quite like the darker tonality & color scheme of Mr. Ng’s house which is a bit too “boxed in” in my personal opinion, I do think overall it is a brilliant design architecturally & interiorly. Mr. & Mrs. Ng love it which is most important. And how loving it is that Mr. Ng expresses his love for Mrs. Ng through the art pieces and the design of the house. (My earlier comment is only from a viewer’s view point. I truly don’t mean to criticize the design.) it is also so nice they are so hospitable to their family and friends hosting the huge dinner gatherings to celebrate with family & friends.

    Singapore architectural companies can employ best architect talents of Turkey, from METU , ITU alumnis who know perfect english and best talents as Turkey do not need them and they starve to poverty. I have met them and got their problems with the country and payments to them about their wonderful architectural products.

  • @petertyson6326
    @petertyson6326 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Cuboid, concrete bunker homes like these have become generic and pervasive, in countries including Australia where a certain class of hipster owner expresses a preference for minimalist shoebox-style design as a nod to modernity. Such a choice is ironic in view of the house's lack of external differentiation from functional high-rise public housing. The design seems to emulate Tadao Ando's brutalist style which, unfortunately has not withered from the collective memory of some architects, and these days seems out of place and anachronistic for environmental reasons. This house's severe visual impact on its surroundings ( similar to that of a multilevel car park mitigated only by green vegetation) and its high energy construction methods incorporating tons of concrete and steel seem to ignore green criteria, particularly when the sizeable edifice only accommodates a tiny number of select residents. Significantly, the video shows very little of the building's bland exterior and focuses on the predominantly concrete interior which in any other context would be deemed unfinished. While it seems an exaggeration to describe this design as "visionary and timeless" the description is explicable in terms of Singapore's gravity-defying land prices and this house's relative spaciousness- rather than due to any distinguishing design features.

      lol.. I don't feel that it's offensive to get comments on one's hair. If nobody said anything, then the hairdo is a failure. Why is something like one's appearance being commented low class? it's part and parcel of life to be judged everyday on appearance. We have to face it all the time. Get out from your high horse and see the ordinary world as it is. Don't be an educated "high class" snob!

I think no one would like to live in a museum home... That's my frank opinion, sorry, but if she is happy and you are happy I salute you both.
