“ BACK TO NATURE ”

Drawing inspiration from nature, the design aims to create the ambience of a park within the interior space, to connect its occupants to the natural environment through direct and indirect association with nature.

Along the perimeter of the office afford ample views out to tree canopies and greenery. Nature finds its way indoors in the form of tall potted plants and a green preserved moss wall.

An artificial green wall not only boosts the appearance of an interior or exterior but can also create a more relaxing atmosphere.

They can make us happier and more productive, as they appeal to our innate need to be around nature. Bringing in natural elements to places where they can’t generally be seen lifts our mood, making us more alert and upbeat.

The breakout space design should support spontaneous meetings but also give staff an area to relax and feel comfortable. Break-out areas are often thought of as just a space for staff to take their lunch break and relax away from their working environment.

However as new working practices become more prominent in modern offices, breakout areas are increasingly becoming an important space for informal meetings and collaborative work.

Breathe: A project designed for Dementia Informal Caregiver

We decided to tackle the needs of informal caregivers for PLWD (People Living with Dementia)

Statistics show how their struggles differ from other types of caregivers, dealing with increased anxiety from taking care of PLWD’s symptoms that trigger more prominent frustrations.

With a majority of PLWD caregivers being seniors themselves, the level of stress is amplified, and they need all the support they can get.

The overall colour scheme used in the space is warm, it creates a comfy and homely mood. The proposed theme for this residential project is simplicity, the design is plain and the detail is more simple.

Tekka Place @ Little India Design proposal

the fusion of Indian Peranakan Ong Shunmugam and The Nyonya House is a retail + F&B collaboration project located at Tekke Place in Little India.

The colour scheme for the overall concept is blue and white with some wood elements involved. This is to match the colour of the tableware that Ong Shumugam is selling in the shop. The shophouse windows are used as the decoration of the shop to bring in the local history. The fishbone flooring is to enhance the flowery Peranakan pattern. So that the pattern can be more outstanding with the alternate placement of the dark blue tile.
