About

This pre-war house is part of a set of nine terrace houses with projecting balconies at the second storey. Although the houses appear identical at first glance, a closer look reveals that the shape of the balconies alternates between a rectangle and a trapezoid.

The Building

Within its interior, two airwells link the three sections of the intermediate terrace house and bring in much needed natural light.

The Legacy

This house was first renovated in 1995. Another round of building works completed in 2007 added a new three-storey extension with a rooftop swimming pool at the rear.
