Brand New Land’s team had a clear vision of incorporating Good Class Bungalow (GCB) elements into luxurious semi-detached homes. To bring this vision to life, they turned to Pau Loh, the managing director of Tellus Design and a well-established name in the GCB design scene. With a relationship spanning over 30 years, together they created a collection of 4 semi-detached homes in Bukit Timah and Upper Bukit Timah, each incorporating thoughtful elements from the best GCB practices.
These semi-detached homes, located at 23 & 23A Maple Avenue and 25 & 25A Jalan Selanting, bear the affectionate name of “The Great Trees Collection”. Ranging in land size from 2,790 to 3,130 sq ft, each home comes fully equipped with a lift, swimming pool, and gourmet kitchen provisions. Staying true to Brand New Land’s philosophy of delivering value to their clients, prices for these homes are set within the bank valuation range, leaving room for potential upside for buyers.
GCB Design Elements
One of the key GCB design elements incorporated into these semi-detached homes is the use of dedicated zones. Inspired by large bungalow homes, each of these homes has separate areas for receiving guests, dining, gourmet cooking, and entertainment. This allows for intimate gatherings and private moments within the same roof.
The entrance area at 23 Maple Avenue offers a view of the pool and greenery, while 25 Jalan Selanting has private corners perfect for intimate conversations. The second-floor view from 23 Maple Avenue seamlessly connects with the first floor, while still maintaining the privacy of separate living zones. The Sky Terrace at 25 Jalan Selanting serves as an entertainment zone offering a magnificent view of the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.
Ceremonial Entrances
The experience of coming home and stepping into your own space is something that Brand New Land holds dear. To bring this special experience to their community, each semi-detached home has a ceremonial entrance framed by lush greenery, the soothing sounds and reflection of water, and warm and rich façade materials. This design element celebrates the transition from the outside world to the comfort of home.
Luxe Architecture, Rich Materials
Taking inspiration from Loh’s signature style, the homes have wide overhanging eaves and deep recesses to create shelter and cool the interiors. The use of horizontal design elements, such as the wraparound golden sand façade treatment and horizontal planters, adds to the spacious and luxurious aesthetic.
The wraparound golden sand façade treatment at 25 Jalan Selanting serves as the anchor for the timber-effect screens, creating an artistic play of shadows. The generous use of nature-inspired cladding elements at 23 Maple Avenue adds a touch of quiet luxury. Inside, the homes are adorned with rich timber grain, precious marble, and German bath fittings, creating an environment of understated 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 special touch to the kitchens of 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 Teh, Co-Founder and Director of Brand New Land Group. “We are fortunate to have Pau Loh, a skilled and experienced architect, working with us to make this vision a reality. We are excited for the future possibilities that these homes will bring to the lives of those who live in them.”
