Brand New Land had a vision to merge Good Class Bungalow (GCB) features with affordable luxury semi-detached homes. To bring their idea to life, they enlisted the help of Pau Loh, managing director of Tellus Design, a well-known name in the GCB design industry with whom they have a 30-year history.
Together, they created a collection of four semi-detached homes in Bukit Timah and Upper Bukit Timah, each carefully designed with elements inspired by the best GCB homes. The homes at 23 and 23A Maple Avenue boast a spacious frontage of more than 24 meters. Aptly named “The Great Trees Collection”, the homes at 25 and 25A Jalan Selanting and 23 and 23A Maple Avenue draw inspiration from nature’s beauty. Ranging in size from 2,790 to 3,130 square feet, each home is equipped with a lift, swimming pool, and provisions for a gourmet kitchen.
True to their mission of creating value for their clients, Brand New Land has priced the homes within the bank valuation range, leaving room for potential gains for buyers.
Design Elements Borrowed from GCBs
Taking cues from large bungalow homes, the semi-detached homes feature dedicated zones for various functions such as receiving guests, dining, gourmet cooking, and entertainment. This allows for intimate gatherings and privacy within the same space.
The entrance hall at 23 Maple Avenue offers a view of the pool and greenery, while 25 Jalan Selanting has private corners for intimate conversations. The second-floor view of 23 Maple Avenue seamlessly connects with the first floor while maintaining a sense of privacy between living zones. The sky terrace at 25 Jalan Selanting provides a stunning view of the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and serves as an ideal entertainment area.
Ceremonial Entrances
Brand New Land believes in the experience of coming home and has incorporated this feeling into their homes. Each semi-detached home has a ceremonial entrance framed by lush greenery, the sound of water, and rich facade materials that create a transition from the outside world to the comfort of home.
Luxurious Architecture and Materials
The homes feature Loh’s signature style, which has proven successful in GCBs within Singapore’s tropical climate. With wide overhanging eaves and deep recesses, the homes offer shelter and keep the interiors cool. The use of horizontal design elements, such as the wraparound golden sand facade and horizontal planters, adds a touch of luxury to the spacious homes.
The elegant wraparound golden sand facade at 25 Jalan Selanting anchors timber-effect screens, creating a beautiful play of shadows. The generous use of nature-inspired cladding elements adds a sense of quiet luxury to 23 Maple Avenue. The homes also boast a rich palette of wood-grain finishes, precious marble, and German bath fittings, creating an environment of sophistication and luxury.
Collaboration with Arclinea Singapore
For gourmet kitchen experiences, Brand New Land has partnered with luxury kitchen specialist Arclinea Singapore. Both brands share the goal of inspiring connections in exceptional kitchen spaces. With a predominately GCB clientele, Arclinea brings a unique touch to the kitchens at 25 Jalan Selanting and 23 and 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 collaborate with Pau Loh, a skilled and experienced architect who helped make this possible. We look forward to seeing the impact these homes will have on the lives of those who live in them.”
