Oscar @ International Business Park




We are engaged to design a f&b centre in IBP. The intended customers are mainly professionals working in the business park. There are many eateries in the vicinity. In order to make our f&b standout, we decided to make it feel more of a relaxed Cafe than a regular bland looking 'kopitiam'. We introduced the concept of 'Origami' to develop on the design of the foodstalls, the featurewalls, the columns and even the seats. Subtlely, it's an Arts & Coffee inspired food haven, certainly a place professionals will want to be seen patronising in.

Commercial Project in Beijing






We are engaged by a Top international decorative iron company to design their Retail shop in Beijing to showcase their latest products.

It has 2 parts. One is meant to showcase its many exquisite iron balustrades.

The other is meant for VIP only. We used a combination of 'raw materials' like polished cement screed floor and 'theatrical' lighting effects to assemble the look. We contrasted these materials with polished materials like Black tinted glass and Ice-shaped inspired Cabinetry designs. We are very sure this Retail shop will stand out amongst its many competitor neighbours.

The Chic Look






These un-altered photos are taken during a great house-warming party hosted by our clients. Many fun loving people gathered and chatted. Drinks and food are served in abundance. (Check out the Dining table and Kitchen Top). Yes, a house is meant to be lived in. It's back to the basics.

The apartment is located in an old and very charming area in the City.
Thus, instead of going for the 'Polished' look in many of our other works, we decided, with nods and collaborations with the clients, that this is one great opportunity to work on the reverse.

For this project, we want to explore and celebrate the 'raw' and 'atmospheric' feel and look instead.

We kept and gave the existing Terrazzo floor a good polish, left the rough existing walls without plastering but gave them new life through great looking colours, do away with designer lightings and dangle traditional bulbs and lamp shades throughout the Whole house, designate an entire long wall in the Living for photos to be painstakingly collected and displayed, and so many more great ideas impossible to name all here.

Choa Chu Kang North




We love to see the smiles on our clients' faces when we complete the
make-over of their place. This charming couple of 3 young kids bought
a resale apartment and engaged us to design and to build our designs
after talking to me for only 2 times.
We were invited over for their Open-house party a few months after we handed the
house over to them. They had waited to move in during their kids' school holidays.
And we were highly recommended to their friends and colleagues.
Clearly we had done something right :)

Raffles Institution Art Space


We are being commissoned by RI to design the Entrance Foyer as
well as the Main gallery area of the Art Space, which is a building in the
school campus housing all things related to Art (like studios for Fine Arts,
Music, Pottery, Design etc.)


We need to make the Entrance Foyer very visible and visually stimulating
so that one can tell instantly that it is building for the Arts.
We thus decided to create 2 new entrance portals, which are both Sculptures
as well as giant Frames at the same time.



The larger frame is a portal for a flight of steps painted epoxy
red and leading up to gyms and other activities rooms on the 2nd floor.

The smaller frame is a portal for entry into the Main Art Gallery on the 1st floor.
Hordes of paintings (students' works) are displayed and celebrated in a random fashion all over double volume height walls.

We want to give prominence back to this Art haven.




This is those who wants to make a bold statement. Perfect for Luxurious Hotels and Resorts




These fabulous interiors are by Kelly Wearstler, one of our
favourite Interior Designer. The unique combination of colours
or hues in her works is simply amazing. We adore this look.
And are looking for Clients who share the same liking to work with us.



Penthouse Posh Living @ Tanah Merah Condo



The Client's brief is straightforward enough.
"Design the most luxurious but clean looking interior space for my penthouse."

She loves the colour black. So although the floor area is small, we did not
hesistate to give her a palatte of colours and materials based on what we felt
will most definitely exlude luxury.

2m high Bronze tinted glass reflecting a whopping 6m
high Velvet black/grey/white floral wallpaper covered featurewall and
imported hanging light with Swarovski crystals. Not to mention Motorised
day curtains and Black tinted glass covering all the other internal walls.
