House of illusions

SERIOUS house hunters will know that terrace homes are generally narrow and dark, unless you're lucky enough to find a corner terrace which gets some additional light coming from the side.

The owners of a corner terrace plot at Sunset Terrace - a doctor couple - may have taken a risk with their choice of home, but in the end, they needn't have worried.The 5,500 sq ft house, designed by Archetype Studio - is spacious, with light streaming all around.

In addition, the team at Archetype Studio gave the family a bonus - depending on where you are in the house, you even feel like you are in a detached home or an apartment.
