Through the Lens of Time, Singapore Discovery Centre, Upper Gallery

Believing that visitors learn best through experiences, Singapore Discovery Centre’s Upper Gallery permanent exhibition “Through the Lens of Time” takes visitors on an immersive journey through 700 years of Singapore’s history. The multimedia shows and art installations allow participants to see, feel and lose themselves in various scenarios, from the founding of Singapore to the Japanese Occupation to Independence.

Secret Salon

An equitable space that can be enjoyed by all – this was the centrepiece of the revamp of an existing hair salon in an HDB enclave. The welcoming “community space” allows the neighbourhood ‘aunties’ to sit, call out the ‘ah boys’ to the “secret” salon and have their daily cup of tea while chit-chatting with their peers.

BBC Studios & BBC Global News, Singapore Office

The design goal for this new office is to create an environment that inspires world-class broadcasting and suits the regional office’s mobile workforce. With a pantry at the heart of its design, this office is spilt into two distinct zones, one catering to social interaction and another for productive focused work. The hot-desking arrangement has desks allocated to 71% of the staff headcount.

East Coast Park Rejuvenation

A refreshed experience while paying homage to its history – this revamp of Singapore’s largest park encapsulates the theme, aesthetics and park experience. Designed to create meaningful relationships between the physical space and users by connecting people with nature and activating spaces for people’s enjoyment, everything — from signages, landscaping to sustainability of the park’s buildings — has been improved.
