The double-bullnose bricks used for outdoor benches, walkway edges and planters in Singapore influenced the design of this flat in the city’s Hougang neighbourhood.
Created for a couple who wanted to refresh their home to accommodate an expanding collection of plants, In A Park features brick benches and partitioned walls.
The warm, rust-red colour complements the wooden kitchen and forms the perfect background for the apartment’s many green plants.

Copan apartment, Brazil, by Estúdio BRA
Located inside the Oscar Niemeyer-designed Copan building in São Paulo, this apartment was redesigned by Estúdio BRA to highlight its architectural features.
“We designed the layout to highlight the view from the 19th floor, where, between the concrete brises, you can’t see cars or sidewalks — just the sky, buildings from different eras, and the Cantareira Mountain range,” said Estúdio BRA founders André di Gregorio and Rodrigo Maçonilio.
Throughout the home, the building’s concrete structure was expressed as partitions.
