HEXCHANGE

Design 5

Urban Prototype Interfaces | Prof Christo Meyer Studio

The HEXCHANGE project reimagines urban dining spaces, revitalizes transitional zones, and enhances communal interactions in the dense, multifaceted environment of Tanjong Pagar Plaza.

This design draws on the unique interplay of private, semi-private, andpublic spaces, blending them seamlessly to accommodate diverse user needs. Through strategic architectural interventions, the project transforms overlooked area, such as alleys, park walkways, and void decks, into vibrant communal hubs.

These spaces are optimized for functionality, fostering connections between residents, office workers, and visitors while maintaining a balance between convenience and interaction.

HEXCHANGE aspires to be more than just a physical space, it aims to foster a sense of community, enhance economic vibrancy, and adapt to the evolving needs of urban dwellers while celebrating the rich architectural and cultural tapestry of Tanjong Pagar.

Design 4

Performative Perferations | Prof Florian Heinzelmann Studio

This project reimagines educational spaces through an adaptive kinetic façade, addressing climate challenges, spatial flexibility, and user interaction. By integrating a responsive façade system, the design balances passive climate control with dynamic adaptability.

Using sustainable retrofitting, the intervention optimizes daylighting, ventilation, and shading. The façade reacts to sun angles, wind, and rainfall, ensuring comfort while minimizing energy use. Kinetic components regulate airflow, control glare, and create flexible learning environments.

Beyond climate control, the design enhances spatial fluidity and multifunctionality. The reconfigurable façade extends into corridors and semi-outdoor spaces, enabling quiet study zones, group interactions, and display areas.

More than a façade system, this project redefines the relationship between learning spaces and climate adaptation. By merging sustainability with experiential design, it sets a new standard for tropical educational environments, fostering well-being and productivity.

FLOWING WEAVES

Climate Design

Passive Climate Design | Prof Florian Heinzelmann Studio

Flowing Weaves is a passive climate-responsive design that optimizes ventilation, daylighting, and energy efficiency. Situated in Novena, Singapore, the house applies bioclimatic principles to ensure comfort while minimizing reliance on mechanical cooling.

Weaving climatic elements into architecture, a flowing weave louver system regulates airflow, solar gain, and privacy. The trellis and green roof provide shading, promote biodiversity, and enhance evaporative cooling.

The house maximizes cross-ventilation through the stack effect, drawing cool air from below and expelling warm air above. Large openings and mezzanine voids improve air circulation, while rainwater harvesting and solar panels enhance sustainability.

Inspired by House IV, the design reinterprets its fragmented composition through solid and void interplay, balancing light, shadow, and airflow for year-round comfort.

More than a dwelling, Flowing Weaves acts as an environmental mediator, blending passive strategies with modern living. It envisions a future-ready tropical home, where natural systems and sustainable materials create a harmonious, climate-responsive space.

DESIGN 3

Sectional Interplay Aggregation | Prof Tiah Nan Chyuan Studio

Inside Out explores Sectional Interplay as a design strategy for urban dwelling, drawing from Chungking Express movie to shape spatial experiences. Located in Tanjong Pagar, the design reinterprets public-private transitions, emphasizing scale, movement, and visual layering.

Through light, shadow, voids, and reflections, sectional explorations create compressed and expanded spaces that enhance movement and interaction. Mirrored, rotated, and stacked units generate a dynamic, layered dwelling within the city.

Two unit typologies are developed through alternate mirroring, stacking, and rotation, producing varied spatial experiences and circulation patterns. Staggered volumes create contrasts between enclosed and open spaces, fostering diverse dwelling conditions.

Circulation is experiential rather than linear, guiding users through semi-private courtyards, public pathways, and interstitial zones. Green interventions and light wells improve environmental quality while deepening sensory engagement with space.

This project redefines urban dwelling by intertwining movement, perception, and social connectivity. A cinematic, emotive approach transforms housing into a narrative of light, transition, and interplay, offering a new paradigm for city living.
