Mandai Courtyard House by Atelier M + A

"Located in a quiet nature reserve near the Upper Seletar reservoir, the Mandai Courtyard House is a peaceful single-story bungalow that’s not often seen on the island of Singapore. Atelier M + A met the owner’s request to keep the home on one floor instead of building as large as they could go, which tends to be the norm.

Built around a central courtyard, the square doughnut-shaped house gives the privacy and security the owner longed for in the evenings while outside. The front part of the house opens up with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors to open up the living and dining rooms to the outdoors."
