Gorgeous Green-Roofed Ninety7 Home Sits Atop Singapore’s Siglap Hill

If you had a house on a hill overlooking Singapore, wouldn't you like it to look like this cool blue Ninety7 House by <a href="http://www.aamertaher.com/">Aamer Architects</a>? At first glance it appears to be just another splashy three-story luxury home, but closer examination shows that through <a href="http://inhabitat.com/slunakov-eco-education-center/">passive design</a>, Aamer has created a beautiful home that is energy-efficient, <a href="http://inhabitat.com/bamboo-screen-wrap-aids-protection-and-ventilation/a-1004401/">naturally lit and ventilated</a>, and mitigates heat with a <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/green-roof">green roof</a> and timber decking. Although this curvy home is oriented to watch over the city, nature is never far from center stage.

The Ninety7 house by Aamer Architects offers resplendent views of Singapore

It has a green roof, which unfortunately is not easily seen in these photos.

The green roof works with the timber decking to deflect much of the sun's heat from the interior.

Each of the floors open to a small terrace that encourages natural lighting and ventilation.

The third floor is set aside for the master bedroom and family room, and the second floor accommodates the living and dining area.

The ground floor benefits from deep overhangs that provide plenty of shading.

The ground floor also has access to a modest swimming pool
