The Holland Village Residence
HOLLAND VILLAGE, SINGAPORE
NARRATIVE
one home, two rhythms
Designed for togetherness, independence, and the possibility of what comes next.
OHV Residence reimagines the conventional condominium apartment as a flexible home for two generations, balancing the energy of social living with the quiet of private retreat.
The planning places the adult son's living domain closer to the entrance, while the parents' quarters remain more secluded within the home. A convertible room and reconfigured open kitchen further allow the residence to shift effortlessly between everyday family life, hosting and future dual-key living.
At its heart, the home is designed around choice — offering connection when desired, independence when needed, and the flexibility to evolve with its occupants.

THE PROCESS
Living Between Worlds
Our methodology begins with the rhythms of its occupants, translating contrasting needs for privacy, connection and hospitality into one adaptable living environment.
01 / READING THE RHYTHMS
Understanding the different routines of an adult son and his elderly parents, from quiet retreat to frequent gatherings and shared family life.
02 / REFRAMING THE PLAN
Reorganising the apartment to establish distinct living domains, relocating the common room and introducing a convertible office through sliding modular panels.
03 / DESIGNING FOR POSSIBILITY
Transforming the kitchen and living areas into a social lounge while preserving the potential for future dual-key living and independent occupation.
