We believe that every individual should have a space that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and sensible. This is exactly what we aimed to achieve with a recent project we worked on in the heart of Tanjong Pagar.
Our client was single and a working professional who typically worked from home. She had debated for a while whether to knock down one of the rooms in her 3-room HDB, but after much discussion, she eventually decided that an open-plan layout would serve her better. This proved to be a wise choice, especially when Covid-19 struck and she had to spend more time at home.
Our partnership with Chien Chi Tow, a Traditional Chinese Medicine retail chain, started in 2021 – where we conceptualised, designed and renovated its pilot store in Ang Mo Kio, a 1500 sqft shophouse.
One of the key challenges was to create an identity that was contemporary while building upon its brand heritage. This was achieved through the use of oriental shapes and textures, juxtaposed against clean finishes, graphics, and a touch of brass.
This successful pilot design store would serve as a blueprint for all its 6 outlets in Singapore and overseas expansion.
