    With over 20 years of experience designing homes, the team at Wallflower Architecture + Design have built on almost every shape and size of land imaginable. Square, rectangular or odd-shaped, big or small, they’ve done it all, maximising the space of the site each time.

    So they were more than a little intrigued when a client approached them with an unusual circular site - a rarity in Singapore.

    “In all our years of practice, we had never seen anything like it,” says co-founder Robin Tan of the land off Tanglin Road. “The site is a perfect circle from the top. We have checked and believe this is the only one of its kind in Singapore.”
