Quiet and unassuming on the exterior, Cradle House conceals a secret garden courtyard within its walls. The building form creates a protective perimeter around the courtyard and living spaces, akin to a contemporary reinterpretation of a traditional Chinese Siheyuan dwelling layout. The inward-looking structure provides privacy from surrounding neighbours and offers a peaceful respite from the busy street and built-up context of suburban Singapore. A private sanctuary, the lush hidden garden invites nature and daylight deep within the building interiors.
