Welcome to Forum City. We want to introduce you to a very innovative, daring interior style of the house, which is located in Singapore. It’s steeped in the spirit of modern Southeast Asia. More than a design statement, it’s a tribute to tradition.
The upper floors of the house, where the owners and their children live, are closed from public view.
This screen is made of textured wood and aluminum rods of different lengths and diameters. In addition to its interesting design, it has important functions. A porous layer protects against rainy weather or bright light, allowing daylight and air ventilation to filter.
And not for nothing this house can be called a nest, because the design resembles a nesting house, which birds build from materials such as limbs, branches and bark
Stunning bathroom design supports the overall concept of the house.
This unusual nest house boldly proclaims its Asian spirit, the fusion of East and West.

What elements of Southeast Asian culture were incorporated into the design by WOHA Architects, and how does their use of a “family nest” concept pay tribute to elders in a contemporary way?
WOHA Architects incorporated various elements of Southeast Asian culture into their design, such as natural ventilation, light, and greenery. Their use of a “family nest” concept pays tribute to elders by creating communal spaces that encourage intergenerational interactions and connections. This concept reflects the traditional values of family and respect for elders in Southeast Asian culture, while also adapting it to a contemporary context by promoting sustainability and social interaction. Overall, WOHA Architects’ design seamlessly blends traditional cultural influences with modern innovations to create a space that honors the past while looking towards the future.
