Tannga House by Guz Architects

08.15.12

If ever there was a house to make my jaw drop, this might just be it. Located in Singapore, the Tannga House is a tropical paradise with the home being built around a green courtyard to enjoy the hot climate. Designed by Guz Architects, the L-shaped house is all about the outdoors and the lush landscape that surrounds it. But that’s not all – the house also features an L-shaped, glass-walled pool that can be viewed through a window from a lower floor in the home. I’m sold.

This amazing staircase takes you to the second floor rooftop garden.

That glass-walled pool is blowing my mind!

At one point in the future I will own a house like that! Because that house is pure beauty!

Very eye-catching! But while I love the dramatic visual appeal, it dosen’t appear to be an efficient use of space. Huge and empty patios, halls, stairways… This layout looks more like a modern art museum than a tropical relaxation refuge.

I agree, but I don’t know if I will own a house of such demeanor.

This is such a nice design. They must have used great material to create this beautiful house.

Really loved the design… Really mind blowing.. I’d love to own something like that with my own touches as extras. Really great use of nature, space, openness, breathing space. Wow!. I discovered Guz architects in a bookshop in Thailand. And so far, I’m really happy to see how imagination is used to extreme.
