Brand New Land had a vision to create luxury semi-detached homes that embodied the elements of Good Class Bungalow (GCB) design. To bring this vision to life, they turned to Pau Loh, managing director of Tellus Design, a well-known figure in the GCB arena and a long-standing partner of Brand New Land for over 30 years.The result is a stunning collection of four semi-detached homes located in the prestigious areas of Bukit Timah and Upper Bukit Timah. Each home has been thoughtfully designed to incorporate the best practices and elements of GCB homes.The semi-detached homes at 23 & 23A Maple Avenue feature a generous frontage spanning over 24m. These homes draw inspiration from the beauty of nature and are lovingly referred to as “The Great Trees Collection”. With land sizes ranging from 2,790 to 3,130 sq ft, each home is equipped with a lift, swimming pool and gourmet cooking provisions.Brand New Land is committed to creating value for their clients, and therefore, these homes have been priced competitively within the bank valuation range, providing buyers with a good potential for upside.GCB Design ElementsDedicated ZonesTaking cues from large bungalow homes, the semi-detached homes have been designed with separate zones for different functions such as receiving guests, dining, gourmet cooking, and various entertainment and living spaces for larger or smaller groups.The entrance area at 23 Maple Avenue boasts views of the pool and surrounding greenery, while private corners at 25 Jalan Selanting provide intimate spaces for conversations between family and friends. The view from the second floor of 23 Maple Avenue seamlessly connects with the first floor, maintaining the privacy of separate living zones. The sky terrace at 25 Jalan Selanting serves as an entertainment zone, offering an inspiring view of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.The team at Brand New Land believes that these dedicated spaces create an intimate atmosphere, allowing family and friends to be together under the same roof while also having their own space and privacy.’Ceremonial Entrances’The experience of coming home and stepping into your own space from the outside world is a special feeling that Brand New Land wants to bring to their community. This is why each semi-detached home features a ceremonial entrance, framed by lush greenery, the soothing sounds and reflection of water, and warm and rich facade materials, creating a grand transition from the outside to the inside.Calming views of natural elements are enjoyed from various parts of the home at 25 Jalan Selanting, while the private entrance at 25 Jalan Selanting celebrates the daily experience of coming home.Luxe Architecture and Rich MaterialsThe homes at Brand New Land also reflect Pau Loh’s signature style, which is well-suited for GCBs in Singapore’s tropical climate. Wide overhanging eaves and deep recesses have been incorporated to create shelter and cool the interiors. Additionally, thoughtful use of horizontal design elements such as the wraparound golden sand facade treatment and horizontal planters lend a spacious and luxurious aesthetic to the homes. The generous use of nature-inspired cladding elements also adds to the look of quiet opulence.While the wraparound golden sand facade treatment at 25 Jalan Selanting creates an artful play of shadows and anchors the timber-effect screens, the rich midnight tones and timber-effect cladding make a statement. Inside the homes, rich timber grain, luxurious marble, and German bath fittings create an environment of understated luxury.Wide overhanging eaves and deep recesses provide shelter and cool the interiors at 25 Jalan Selanting, while the rich palette of wood-grain finishes adds a sophisticated aura to 23 Maple Avenue. The master bathroom at 25 Jalan Selanting is complete with German bath fittings and mood lighting, and the bathroom at 23 Maple Avenue features timber panels and sleek bath fittings against a backdrop of slab-cut marble.Collaboration with Arclinea SingaporeBrand New Land has teamed up with luxury kitchen specialist Arclinea Singapore to create gourmet kitchen experiences in their homes. Both brands share the common goal of inspiring everyday connections in extraordinary kitchen spaces. With a predominantly GCB clientele, Arclinea brings a unique touch to the kitchens at 25 Jalan Selanting and 23 & 23A Maple Avenue.Reference images from Arclinea Singapore are used to inspire the luxurious kitchens at Brand New Land’s homes.“Our vision for this collection is to take the best design principles from GCB homes and incorporate them into our semi-detached homes,” says Alvina Teh, Co-Founder and Director of Brand New Land Group. “We were fortunate to have the guidance of Pau Loh, a highly skilled and experienced architect, to make this vision a reality.
