Photographs, house for Robin Loh (1973), Stubbs Road, Hong Kong 香港司徒拔道羅新權住宅（1973年）照片
[circa 1973]
Architects Team 3 designed this house in Hong Kong for the Singaporean shipping executive and developer Robin Loh, a friend of firm co-founder Lim Chong Keat, in 1973. It is one of two projects the Singapore-based practice has realised outside of Malaysia and Singapore.
The project is located just below winding Stubbs Road, near a cluster of high-end residential towers developed in the 1960s and 1970s. Blocked from the street by a stone wall and reflective gate, the structure is tucked within the topography and vegetation of a mountainside. A curved, elevated driveway delivers cars around tall, verdant trees into a parking area west of the house.
The building itself is made up of overlapping rectangles supported by six oversized circular columns. The two uppermost volumes are clad in a sloping glass, framing dramatic views while contrasting with the heavy concrete structure. They hover over a shaded outdoor zone like a futuristic spaceship; two of the columns touch down into a semicircular pool. Heightening the design’s air of dropped-in luxury and leisure, the roof accommodates a putting green lined by a clear glass enclosing wall.
This series consists of a set of slides showing the construction process, photographs of the completed building, and a magazine article describing the house.
