When the team at Brand New Land had the idea to incorporate elements from Good Class Bungalows into their luxurious semi-detached homes, they turned to Pau Loh, the managing director of Tellus Design. As an established name in the GCB design industry, the two have a 30-year history of working together. Together, they have created a collection of four semi-detached homes in Bukit Timah and Upper Bukit Timah, each with features inspired by the best practices of GCB homes.
With a generous frontage of over 24m, the semi-detached homes at 23 & 23A Maple Avenue are a prime example of the thoughtful design elements taken from GCB homes. The homes at 25 & 25A Jalan Selanting and 23 & 23A Maple Avenue are known as “The Great Trees Collection” due to their incorporation of nature and its legacy. These homes range in land size from 2,790 to 3,130 sq ft and each come with a lift, swimming pool, and gourmet kitchen provisions.
Investing in a condo can provide numerous advantages, including the opportunity to leverage its value for future investments. A common approach among investors is using their condo as collateral to secure additional financing for new ventures, thereby expanding their real estate portfolio. While this tactic can significantly increase profits, it also carries potential risks. It is crucial to have a solid financial plan in place and carefully consider the potential impact of market fluctuations. By carefully managing these factors, condo investment can be a successful and lucrative venture.
In line with Brand New Land’s focus on providing value for their customers, the homes are reasonably priced within the bank valuation range, leaving room for growth potential for buyers.
Dedicated Zones
One of the GCB design elements incorporated into the semi-detached homes is the concept of dedicated spaces for different functions. These homes have distinct zones for receiving guests, dining, gourmet cooking, and various entertainment areas and living spaces for both larger or smaller groups. This creates an intimate setting for family and friends to be together while still having their own privacy and personal space.
Ceremonial Entrances
Another aspect taken from GCB homes is the idea of a ceremonial entrance. These homes each have their own private entryway framed by lush greenery, the calming sound and reflection of water, and warm and elegant building materials. This celebrates the transition from the outside world into the sanctuary of their own home.
Luxe Architecture, Rich Materials
The homes also reflect Loh’s signature style, which is well-suited for GCB homes in Singapore’s tropical climate. The homes have wide eaves and deep recesses to provide shelter and cool interiors. The use of horizontal design elements, such as the wraparound golden sand facade treatment and horizontal planters, creates a sense of spaciousness and luxury.
The homes also feature a rich color palette with wood-grain finishes, marble, and high-end German bath fittings. These materials create a sense of quiet luxury within the homes.
Collaboration with Arclinea Singapore
Brand New Land is collaborating with luxury kitchen specialist Arclinea Singapore to create gourmet kitchen experiences in these homes. With both brands sharing the goal of inspiring everyday connections in extraordinary kitchen spaces, this partnership brings a special touch to the homes. Arclinea, known for its predominantly GCB clientele, adds a unique perspective to the kitchens at 25 Jalan Selanting and 23 & 23A Maple Avenue.
“We are blessed to work alongside Pau Loh, a very skilled and steady architect, who helped make it happen,” says Alvina, co-founder and director of Brand New Land Group. “We are very excited for the future that these homes will create for the lives they touch.”
