Decorate the living hall

We had a great experience working with Bill Burke from Stevens-Burke who was the general contractor for our house. Bill, a resident and from our first meeting with him, we could see that he was passionate about environmental issues and was open to testing and trying new things, knowing that it would add to the complexity of the project. Many of the builders we spoke with seemed reluctant to stray too far out of their comfort zone, but Bill is an unabashed technology geek and was more than willing to get his hands dirty with new products and processes. He also always answers his phone, which I appreciated after many past experiences with contractors. I can’t say enough about the great work he did. The glass showcases that he designed was awesome and we have placed it in our living hall.

I was amazed by the house design in Singapore which was designed by the best Architects stands attempts to blend in with surroundings with green facade, as a monolithic green building. From the exterior of the green house, the residential bungalow is sheathed with a patina-aged copper sheets clad cube with window openings and timber infill carved into the green face. The home interior, the spaces are varied with the interplay of double volumes, curved ceiling and sculptured gardens.
