ECOLOGICAL PARK
[ 01 ]
ENCOUNTER @ LABRADOR PARK Located in the Southern waterfron of Singapore, Labrador Park is a nature reserve with a rich history. Berlayer Creeak, a rich mangrove ecosystem, reside in the east side of Labrador Park. “Encounter” hope to craft a landscape that allows people to interact with the visible and invisible ecosystem; letting people encounter animals, water, plants, underwater habitats, and with each other. Inspired by mangrove roots where most interactions happen in-between species, the design aimed to provide different overlapping species habitat in between the design’s roots. The design championed habitat conservation by performing multiple ecosystem services: biodiversity net gain, increased greenery percentage, and enhanced seagrass & rocky shore habitat resilience to the disturbed existing ecosystem. All is executed with minimal nature disturbance while also aiming to increase public awareness by creating play opportunities and adding educative elements. Encounter also aims to provide a space for mental refuge and improve human health by incorporating biophilic design that allows interaction and relationship between human and nature through passive recreation.
DESIGN STRATEGY
1
Restore the biodiversity connection between the forest and the mangrove
Increasing greenery at site to connect the biodiversity in the nearby forest and mangrove area
Creating new habitats to to support biodiversity and creates a sanctuary for fauna and flora
2
Creates human-animal encounter opportunities to raise public awareness and love of nature
Increasing public awareness by creating play opportunities and adding educative elements
Elevated Boardwalk continue the site’s circulation as well as maintaining animal’s circulation porosity
3

TAMPINES CENTRAL PARK
[ 02 ]
TAMPINES CENTRAL PARK Tampines Park is located at Tampines Street 83, Singapore, nearby Tampines Hub in the middle of a residential topology. This park is one of the town planning innovations introduced by the HDB when they were planning for Tampines Town in the 90s. The design aim to compliment the nearby Tampines Hub by creating a central community park that focused on what it can give to people. Tampines Central Park aims to be a place of encouragement and healing by retain socially cohesive communities through manisfestation of the nostalgia of kampong lifestyle, while also designed with ecological biodiversity sensitivity and water management enhancement; fostering sustainable relationship between residents, nature, and biodiversity. Tampines used to be full of kampongs (village in Malay) before it was upgraded to HDB living. The sudden change from kampongs to HDB that is full of restlessness held striking similarity on how Covid-19 impacted life; job uncertainity and mental issues. In the past, what help Tampines' residents transitions faster to their new living condition was sharing stories and problems through compassion to their neighbours in the void decks and other public space, healed by the community. The design wanted to create a community park that could foster relationship between Tampines neighborhood through deliberate attempt by providing various urban communal spaces. By borrowing the Tampines' kampong history, the design aimed to strengthen Tampines' identity to raise a sense of belonging and ownership ti the residents. The essence and "stills" of kampong life become the guidelines of the site's program.
DESIGN STRATEGY
1
Creating a biophilic public space for work, live, play, learn, meet with kampong spirit
2
Maximize encountering, foster interactions & volunteering, and sparkle conversations that engage
3
Enhance ecological sustainability and bring nature closer to people

The transition from kampong to HDB living in the 1980s was not easy for Tampines resident
Jobs uncertainty and mental issues, loosening of close-knit relation ties and reduced interaction between neighbours
HDB aims to provide not just a physical environment but also creating community
present
Like in the past, perhaps increasing community satisfaction would enhance the quality of life of the residents and help them adapt to the transition faster
COVID-19 impacted life in a similar way, causing massive changes, loneliness, and confusion
The spirit of gotong royong is fostered and the resident found comfort in their neighbourhood

SIURA Studio
About SIURA Studio SIURA is an urban design and landscape architecture planning studio based in Singapore. The studio focuses on urban resilience and innovative landscape with integrated natural systems. The design process is guided by the story telling of site context, user’s requirement, and broader environmental design. Integration of urban design / landscape with resilient water and ecological design is the core of the practice. Each site and project context is unique. SIURA aims to create unique design solution based on story telling from concept design stage. The innovative design approach offers both functional and aesthetic design that benefits owner, user, community, city and the broader environment.
I was involved in park revitalization, commercial project, and residential project with Water Sensitive Urban Design approach.
