To Catch A Breeze by HYLA Architects

Updated on June 6, 2023

To Catch A Breeze is a residential project completed by HYLA Architects in 2014.

The 3,595-square-foot home is located in Singapore.

To Catch A Breeze by HYLA Architects:

“This 3-storey intermediate terrace house has a unique rotating screen on its front elevation. Its cross section has an aerodynamic boomerang shape that serves to deflect wind on one side.

On the other side the screen is cladded with timber to give privacy. So the occupants can rotate the screen according to what they need. This also gives the facade an ever changing pattern that corresponds to the mood of its users.

Inside the 1st storey has a high ceiling and good cross ventilation into a rear garden court. The staircase has a unique triangular cross section and is well lit with a skylight above.”
