Lakme Street from the road: two semi-detached houses behind timber screens and planted terraces.

Lakme Street

More than a site. A possibility.

  • Lakme Street, Singapore
  • District 15
  • 2 Semi-Detached
  • In development
  • 2025–2027

Read on foot before it was read on paper. The street set what could be added to it.

Neighbouring scale and frontage set the limits before any envelope was tested against them. Inside those limits the rooms were placed against the sun rather than against the plan, so the house works through the whole of a day.
