Wilkie Road, District 9
2012
In Mandarin, the word for home is Jia, and this Jia has earned its place in the historic Mount Emily district where every building shares the same 7-storey height cap — an agreement to keep the skyline low and the streets calm. 22 homes in total, comprising 19 apartments and 3 penthouses, sit within walking distance of Mount Emily Park and the Istana, in one of the few corners of the city built to stay this way.
Inside, open-plan living spaces let light move freely from room to room, while adjustable screens on every balcony offer privacy on your own terms — open to the breeze one evening, closed off entirely the next. Up on the sky deck, a gym and pool sit apart from the noise below, small enough to feel like they were built for only 22 households.
