The good class bungalow at White House Park sits on a terraced site that dips twice from front to back. The terrain together with the fact that the best view, that of a forested state land plot, is tucked at the back poses a series of challenges.

a. how to create an interesting architectural promenade for guests from main door to living room at rear,
b. how to zone the private areas such that they are separate from the public areas and are yet unified and easily accessible.

Stylistically, the bungalow takes the colonial black and white bungalow as a precedent. But the old world style is transformed with the vocabulary of the modern tropical style. The house comprises 3 blocks: a 2-storey hipped roof block at the front facing the road, a 2-storey flat roof block in the middle facing a courtyard and a 2-storey block at the rear. The rear block though only 2-storey features a grand double volume height living room at its lower floor, an advantage of the terraced site that is exploited in the design of the floor levels. The living room opens out to the main garden.

"What they asked for, they got in spades. Designed in the form of two pavilions bridged by a comparatively modern block marked by the copious use of glass, what Lim delivered is not just evocative of the past but insensitive to terrain, climate and even calender year."

"Like the sexy spiral staircase with tis voluptuous curves, Vincent has a wonderful knack for propostions that doesn't overwhelm even when the living-cum-dining room soars two storeys high." Stuart Lin, "B&W DNA Extract", Form
