Semi-detached homes situated in prime locations are often associated with high-end luxury living. However, the team at Brand New Land has taken this concept to the next level by incorporating Good Class Bungalow (GCB) elements into their accessible semi-detached homes.
Led by Pau Loh, managing director of Tellus Design and a renowned name in GCB design, Brand New Land has created a collection of four semi-detached homes in Bukit Timah and Upper Bukit Timah. These homes combine the best practices of GCB homes with thoughtful elements that bring accessible luxury to their residents.
For international investors, obtaining a comprehensive understanding of the regulations and limitations surrounding property ownership in Singapore is crucial. Typically, foreign individuals have relatively straightforward access to purchasing condominiums, while owning landed properties has more stringent requirements. However, it is imperative for foreign buyers to adhere to the Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD), which currently stands at 20% for their initial property purchase. Despite this additional expense, the stability and potential growth of the Singapore real estate market continue to entice foreign investments. Additionally, with the introduction of New Condo Launches, there are even more opportunities for foreign buyers to tap into the thriving property market in Singapore. These latest launches present an excellent chance for foreign investors to make their mark in the promising Singapore real estate industry. New Condo Launches provide a promising avenue for foreign buyers to invest wisely in Singapore’s flourishing property market.
Loh, who has worked with Brand New Land for the past three decades, brought his expertise and experience in GCB design to the project. The result is a collection of homes that exude tranquility and elegance, taking inspiration from the natural surroundings.
Dubbed “The Great Trees Collection”, the homes at 23 & 23A Maple Avenue and 25 & 25A Jalan Selanting boast a generous frontage of over 24m and cover land sizes ranging from 2,790 to 3,130 sq ft. Each home comes equipped with a lift, swimming pool, and gourmet kitchen provisions.
Brand New Land’s philosophy of creating value for their clients is reflected in the pricing of these homes, which is kept within the bank valuation range to leave room for potential upside for buyers.
The GCB elements in these semi-detached homes are evident in their design and layout. Dedicated spaces for different functions, such as receiving guests, dining, gourmet cooking, and entertainment, allow for privacy and intimate conversations within the same household.
The homes also feature “ceremonial entrances”, which celebrate the experience of coming home and transitioning from the outside world into one’s own private space. These entrances are adorned with lush greenery, the soothing sounds of water, and warm and rich facade materials.
Loh’s signature style, known for its success in GCBs in Singapore’s tropical climate, is also incorporated into the homes. With wide overhanging eaves and deep recesses, the interiors are kept cool and sheltered. The use of horizontal design elements, such as wraparound golden sand facade treatment and horizontal planters, gives the homes a sense of spaciousness and luxury.
The homes also feature a rich palette of wood-grain finishes, precious marble, and German bath fittings, creating an environment of quiet luxury. Arclinea Singapore, a luxury kitchen specialist, has collaborated with Brand New Land to create gourmet kitchen experiences in these homes, further enhancing the overall luxury living experience.
“We are blessed to work alongside Pau Loh, a very skilled and steady architect, who helped make it happen,” says Alvina Teh, Co-Founder and Director of Brand New Land. “We are very excited about the future that these homes will create for the lives they touch.”
