Sandy Island

Set in Sentosa cove, Singapore, Sandy Island is a rare collection of 18 waterfront villas nestled within a tropical island oasis of privacy and calm.

Designed by London and Milan based architect Claudio Silvestrin, these villas are built facing the Java sea. Each villa is 700 m2 large with it’s own swimming pool and double height living area. The 18 villas have four different design configurations and materials, mainly natural stones and timber.

I especially like the fluidity of spaces where one space flows into another with a minimal intrusion of doors and barriers.  Starting at the front in a closed-off geometrical form to open up at the back with a dramatic double height frameless glass façade.

Sandy Island is due for completion in 2010.
