Finding a brand-new freehold detached home in Bukit Timah is quite rare. Finding one that combines contemporary architecture, six ensuite bedrooms, a private lift, basement parking for up to five cars, a swimming pool and close to 10,000 sq ft of built-up space is rarer still.

Tucked within a leafy enclave just a short walk from King Albert Park MRT Station, 28 Sian Tuan Avenue has been thoughtfully designed for families looking to put down roots for generations.

For Daphne Tan, what stood out was not just the architecture, but the thought that had gone into creating a home that could adapt to a family’s changing needs over time

“When evaluating a luxury home, I always ask myself one question: beyond the architecture, will it still feel right for the family ten or twenty years from now?” she explains. “That’s what impressed me about 28 Sian Tuan Avenue. Every space has been designed with longevity and everyday living in mind.”

Rather than focusing on the specifications, Tan found herself picturing the everyday moments the home was designed to accommodate: children walking to nearby Methodist Girls' School, grandparents moving comfortably between floors using the lift, weekend breakfasts around the kitchen island, festive dinners in the formal dining room, and evenings spent watching a movie together overlooking the illuminated pool.

“It's these little lifestyle details that transform a beautiful house into a wonderful family home,” she says.

Designed across multiple levels, the home balances generous communal spaces with private retreats. Every bedroom comes with its own ensuite bathroom, allowing each family member to have their own sanctuary while naturally encouraging everyone to come together in the dining room, breakfast nook, entertainment spaces or outdoors by the pool.

That family-first approach was exactly what award-winning architect Kevin Tan of aKTa-rchitects set out to achieve.

“True luxury is quiet and lasting,” he says. “It comes from generous spaces, natural light, quality materials and thoughtful details that make everyday living more enjoyable.”

Rather than chasing design trends, the house embraces clean architectural lines, soft white finishes and warm timber tones. Natural light, privacy and greenery were carefully considered from the outset, creating interiors that feel bright, peaceful and connected to nature while remaining comfortably secluded from neighbouring homes.

“I imagine a family that enjoys spending time together while also valuing personal space,” says Tan. “The home is designed to adapt as the family's needs change over time.”

Beyond the architecture, the location further enhances its appeal. Set within one of Bukit Timah's most established landed neighbourhoods, the home is privately located yet enjoys easy access to public transport, reputable schools, everyday amenities, and the area's well-loved parks and green spaces, offering a lifestyle that combines convenience with tranquillity.

For buyers considering a newly built detached home, Daphne Tan says that 28 Sian Tuan Avenue occupies a compelling position in today's market.

Buyers comparing premium detached homes in District 10 will find that residences of similar scale and quality often command significantly higher prices. 28 Sian Tuan Avenue offers the same standard of contemporary luxury, just minutes away, making it one of Bukit Timah’s most compelling value propositions.

“Today’s buyers aren’t simply comparing land sizes. They’re comparing the cost, time and uncertainty of rebuilding against the opportunity to move straight into a thoughtfully designed home. That’s where I believe 28 Sian Tuan Avenue stands out,” she says.

Ultimately, however, Tan believes buyers will remember something else entirely.

“Rather than just the square footage or the number of rooms, I hope they remember how the home made them feel,” she comments.

Because for the right family, 28 Sian Tuan Avenue is not just another luxury detached house, but a place designed for the moments that matter most — a home that already feels ready to welcome its next chapter.

### 以家庭生活为核心设计的稀有全新独立洋房

探索一处以家庭为中心的豪华住宅，配备六间套房卧室、私人电梯与游泳池。

在武吉知马（Bukit Timah）找到全新永久地契独立洋房本就少见；若再兼具当代建筑、六间套房卧室、私人电梯、可容纳多达五辆车的地下室停车位、游泳池，以及近10,000平方英尺的建筑面积，则更为难得。

坐落于绿树成荫的静谧社区、步行可达King Albert Park地铁站的28 Sian Tuan Avenue，专为希望世代扎根的家庭悉心打造。

对陈美华（Daphne Tan）而言，打动她的不仅是建筑本身，更是设计如何考量家庭需求随时间变化的长远思路。

她解释道：“评估豪宅时，我总会问自己一个问题：除了建筑，十年、二十年之后，这里是否仍适合这个家庭？”她说，“这正是28 Sian Tuan Avenue让我印象深刻之处。每一个空间都以耐久性与日常起居为出发点。”

比起单纯关注规格参数，陈女士更想象着这所房子为日常生活所预留的场景：孩子们步行前往附近的美以美女校（Methodist Girls' School）、祖父母借助电梯在楼层间自在通行、周末在中岛厨房共进早餐、节日在正式餐厅聚餐，以及傍晚在灯火映照的泳池边一起看电影。

她说：“正是这些生活细节，把漂亮的房子变成了温馨的家。”

住宅多层布局，在宽敞的公共空间与私密休憩区之间取得平衡。每间卧室均配有独立套房浴室，让每位家庭成员拥有自己的天地，同时自然引导大家在餐厅、早餐角、娱乐空间或户外泳池边相聚。

这一以家庭为先的理念，正是屡获殊荣的建筑师陈凯文（Kevin Tan，aKTa-rchitects）所追求的目标。

他说：“真正的奢华是安静而持久的。它来自宽敞的空间、自然采光、优质材料，以及让日常起居更舒适的细腻考量。”

住宅并未追逐设计潮流，而是采用简洁的建筑线条、柔和的白色饰面与温暖的木质色调。从一开始便充分考虑自然光、隐私与绿意，使室内明亮宁静、与自然相连，同时与邻里保持舒适的私密距离。

陈建筑师表示：“我想象的是一个既享受共处时光、也珍视个人空间的家庭。这所房子的设计能随家庭需求变化而适应。”

除建筑本身外，地段进一步提升了吸引力。坐落于武吉知马最成熟的有地住宅区之一，私密性强，却又能便捷通往公共交通、优质学校、日常配套，以及深受喜爱的公园与绿地，兼顾便利与宁静。

对考虑全新独立洋房的买家而言，陈美华认为28 Sian Tuan Avenue在当前市场中占据颇具说服力的位置。

比较第10区优质独立洋房的买家会发现，相近规模与品质的住宅往往要价明显更高。28 Sian Tuan Avenue提供同等水准的当代奢华体验，距离仅数分钟之遥，成为武吉知马最具吸引力的价值主张之一。

她说：“如今买家比较的不只是地块面积，还包括重建的成本、时间与不确定性，对比直接入住一处精心设计住宅的机会。我认为这正是28 Sian Tuan Avenue脱颖而出之处。”

不过，陈女士最终相信，买家会记住的是另一番感受。

她表示：“与其只记得建筑面积或房间数量，我更希望他们记住这所房子带来的感觉。”

因为对合适的家庭而言，28 Sian Tuan Avenue不只是又一套豪华独立洋房，而是为那些最重要时刻而设计的地方——一处已准备好迎接新篇章的家。
