Is this Singapore’s coolest mansion? Peek inside Stiletto House, a crazy rich Asian home also called Jalan Seaview House, designed by EHKA Studio
- The avant-garde design, by architect Hsu Hsia Pin of EHKA Studio, is on Jalan Seaview in Katong and owned by retired businessman Robin Yeo
- The curvy house has five floors – even though it’s in a two-storey residential area – and pushes the limits of Singapore’s Urban Redevelopment Authority’s requirements
Among the other houses along Jalan Seaview in Katong, Singapore, is an impressive building that looks more like a work of art than a home. Jalan Seaview House, better known as Stiletto House, it stands out from its neighbours for its avant-garde design that is moulded by grand curves and fluid waves.
Designed by EHKA Studio, the house, owned by retired businessman Robin Yeo, has been lauded by many publications for its focus on design while also making smart use of its space.
So what else do we know about this luxurious, sculptural home?
It was named Stiletto House for its stiletto-shaped columns
In a video by CNA, architect Hsu Hsia Pin revealed that his client wanted a “curvy” house. “These curves add something to the space, because they connect things, so you don’t feel an edge. You don’t feel that things stop at a certain position, but they continue to flow on,” he explained.
The focus on curves is what led the designers to create stiletto-like columns that support the house’s overhangs, and which eventually inspired the name for the home.
It has five storeys – even if it is located in a two-storey residential neighbourhood
