Set on the top floor of a 34 year old low rise Singaporean public housing block, Project #13 by Studio Wills + Architects is a creative reinterpretation of an original shop house, splitting the unit down the middle instead of keeping the shop/office at street level and the home above. Originally a two bedroom, two bathroom home, the apartment was transformed to create fully independent but seamlessly connected living and co-working spaces alongside one another. Raising the roofline created the opportunity to add a loft between the living and dining areas, underneath which they inserted a large piece of built in furniture, a tall wooden volume aptly termed the “space marker”. The center of the “space marker” contains a walk in wardrobe and storage, with a built in tea-making station to the front and a set of timber steps, with integrated storage to the right, that lead up to the loft style bedroom. With the upgrading and repurposing of this previously single-use residential unit, Project #13 re-examines what a mixed living and working space could look like, allowing for flexible use over time which in turn will sustain the property over the course of its life.
