PROJECT #11 is an interior renovation to a 4-bedroom apartment for its new home owners, a couple whom entertains frequently.
To make way for a larger space to entertain and lounge around, 4 former bedrooms were reduced to 2 through the demolition of internal walls. This demolition lead to the discovery of the inherent structure of the apartment; It being supported by structural shear walls.
This discovery lead to the concept of Walls as Spatial Organizers and Dividers in this open-plan apartment.
This is a children’s place offering a living, breathing form of nurturing. It allows self-discovery of the individual; understanding and being conscientious of oneself through the exploration of the senses, through physical movement, and through interacting with others and the environment. It is about cultivating the will and feelings, more than information gathering and defining knowledge.
The boutique minimalist office space designed by Dymitr Malcew for a Japanese investment firm in Singapore.
The main goal was to create a workplace that breaks away from a typical corporate aesthetics and brings in more hospitality oriented experience.
Design is inspired by a Japanese home, however treated with a modern twist and unexpected materials. There is no traditional reception desk, visitors walk into warm and welcoming lobby – the living room of the space.

Located in the heart of Singapore’s Central Business District, the former UIC Building dominated the city skyline as Singapore’s tallest building for many years following its completion in 1973 and formed part of an important collection of towers located along Shenton Way.
Recently the area has undergone a rejuvenation and transformation and V on Shenton – the new UIC building – forms part of this redevelopment. The mixed-use programming of V on Shenton presents a unique situation in this area of the city.

The Scotts Tower SOHO apartment building is situated on a prime location in Singapore, close to the Orchard Road luxury shopping district and with views encompassing both nearby parkland and the panoramic cityscape of Singapore City.
The 18,500m2, 31-storey, 231-unit tower consists of 1 to 3-bedroom apartments and 4-bedroom penthouses, along with expansive landscaped gardens, sky terraces, penthouse roof gardens and a variety of recreational facilities.
Ben van Berkel: “An interesting facet of The Scotts Tower is the way that it reacts to the urban context of Singapore. Instead of the more usual means of planning a city horizontally, we have created neighbourhoods in the sky: a vertical city where each zone has its own distinct identity.”

Mintel Singapore recently moved office to the prestigious Singapore address at the newly renovated UIC building at 5 Shenton Way.
The brief for the new office was to create a bright an open space that is fun, stimulates creativity, and encourages collaboration and teamwork. The solution called for good space planning and a clever use of materials to make the space functional but also flexible so that working space can be transformed to host client events.
An intriguing element of the brief for this corner terrace house in Central Singapore became the inspiration for its design. The owners approached architects AD Lab Pte Ltd with a desire to live in the house as nomads, moving the living and sleeping areas from room to room, and having the ability to alter the function and meaning of the spaces over time.
Situated at the end of a row of terrace houses with a green reserve toward the rear of the house, the site naturally had one side that was limited by the boundary wall, and the other that was more related to the surrounding greenery. The designers took advantage of the linked boundary wall to house a linear strip of the “function” or “service” elements of the house, leaving the more open and flexible space to face the side garden and long swimming pool, front balcony and rear views to the greenery.
Sivantos headquarters in Singapore is a collaboration between Danish architecture practice PLH Arkitekter as the concept designer and workplace strategist, and local interior design company Geyer Design for execution. The design development was undertaken as a virtual collaboration between the two firms where PLH used virtual reality and other 3D tools to optimize the design process.
This semi-detached house is detached from its façade and party wall to create courtyard spaces that allow light, ventilation and private views. At the front, an almost blank brick wall conceals these spaces and the front door is similarly hidden in a timber wall. A swimming pool runs along the side and front creating a tranquil oasis for the house. The timber staircase overhangs the pool and its covered by a glass and timber pergola that runs along the length of the house. Upstairs the gardens continue into two more courtyards which two bedrooms and a study look into.
