The team at Brand New Land had a unique vision – to combine elements of Good Class Bungalow (GCB) homes with accessible luxury in their semi-detached homes. In order to bring this vision to life, they enlisted the help of Pau Loh, the managing director of Tellus Design, whom they have a close working relationship with for the past 30 years. Together, they have created a collection of four semi-detached homes located in Bukit Timah and Upper Bukit Timah, incorporating the best practices of GCB homes.
The semi-detached homes located at 23 and 23A Maple Avenue have a wide frontage of over 24m, while the homes at 25 and 25A Jalan Selanting and 23 and 23A Maple Avenue are collectively known as “The Great Trees Collection”, inspired by the natural beauty of the surrounding environment. Ranging from 2,790 to 3,130 sq ft in land size, each home comes equipped with a lift, swimming pool, and gourmet kitchen provisions. These homes are fairly priced to sell within the bank valuation range, leaving room for potential upside for buyers, aligning with Brand New Land’s philosophy of creating value for their clients.
The cityscape of Singapore boasts a striking display of towering structures and state-of-the-art infrastructure. In highly sought-after locations, luxurious condominiums offer a perfect fusion of lavishness and practicality, appealing to both locals and foreigners alike. These residences offer an array of facilities like swimming pools, fitness centers, and round-the-clock security, further elevating the standard of living and making them an attractive option for potential renters and buyers. With promising prospects for investors, these sought-after amenities translate into higher rental returns and appreciation in property values over time. Moreover, Singapore projects add to the allure of these properties, making them even more desirable for prospective residents and investors.
Elements of GCB Design
The semi-detached homes follow the concept of dedicated zones, originating from larger bungalow homes. Each home has separate areas for receiving guests, dining, gourmet cooking, and various entertainment spaces, providing a perfect space for both larger and smaller groups. The entrance area at 23 Maple Avenue offers a stunning view of the pool and lush greenery, while 25 Jalan Selanting has private corners for intimate conversations. The second floor of 23 Maple Avenue seamlessly connects to the first floor, maintaining privacy between different living zones. The Sky Terrace at 25 Jalan Selanting serves as an entertainment zone with a breathtaking view of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. According to Alvina Teh, Co-founder and Director of Brand New Land Group, “We love the intimacy that these dedicated spaces create. Under the same roof, you can have family and friends being at home together, but with your own space and privacy.”
“Ceremonial Entrances”
The experience of coming home and stepping into your own space is an important aspect of the design of these homes. Tatiana Teh, Client Relations Director of Brand New Land Group, explains, “We want to bring this special experience to our community.” Each semi-detached home has a ceremonial entrance, framed by lush greenery and water features, to create a tranquil transition from the outside world into the home. The private entrance at 25 Jalan Selanting celebrates the daily experience of coming home.
Luxurious Architecture and Materials
The homes adopt Pau Loh’s signature style, proven to work well for GCBs in Singapore’s tropical climate. The wide overhanging eaves and deep recesses provide shelter and help cool the interiors. Horizontal design elements, such as the wraparound golden sand facade and horizontal planters, give the homes a spacious and luxurious aesthetic. The wraparound golden sand facade at 25 Jalan Selanting perfectly complements the timber-effect screens, creating an artistic play of light and shadow. The homes boast a generous use of nature-inspired cladding elements, creating an atmosphere of quiet luxury. Inside, the homes feature rich timber grain, precious marble, and German bath fittings, exuding an aura of sophisticated luxury.
Collaboration with Arclinea Singapore
Brand New Land has partnered with luxury kitchen specialist Arclinea Singapore to create gourmet kitchen experiences in these homes. Both brands share the common goal of inspiring everyday connections in extraordinary kitchen spaces. With a predominantly GCB clientele, Arclinea brings a unique edge to the kitchens at 25 Jalan Selanting and 23 & 23A Maple Avenue.
“Our vision for this collection is to bring the best GCB design principles into our semi-detached homes,” says Alvina. “We are fortunate to work alongside Pau Loh, a skilled and experienced architect, who helped bring this vision to life. We are excited for the future of these homes and the impact they will have on the lives of those who live in them.”
