As an architectural studio, we abstain from stylistic formulas and instead, approach every project by means of open-ended inquiry.
Striving to listen to people and the environment, we seek to produce enduring works that relate to community and place, culture and nature.
We realised it is vital to build dialogue with clients with the conviction that the partnership in the co-creation process is key to achieving works that encompass values important to them.
And with our approach to projects outside the traditional framework, we endeavour to explore and inspire possibilities and be the client’s impetus to challenge the current state and work together towards an alternative and desirable outcome.

YANY CHAN
Senior Designer
B.A. Arch, M. Arch
Having recently graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Master of Architecture, Yany is excited about the possibilities that practice has to offer. She is thrilled about seeing buildings and spaces come to life as they are inhabited, used and lived in.
Yany believes that architecture is the most interesting when it is influenced by all sorts of things outside architecture itself. She is curious to explore how spaces can tell a story.
Outside of architecture, Yany has a passion for baking and eating bread. She lovingly takes care of her sourdough starter regularly and hopes to one day create a beautiful sourdough loaf.

WAN NABILAH
Designer
B.A. Arch, M. Arch
Having steeped in the academic culture of the National University of Singapore, Nabilah brewed up a master’s degree in architecture and countless cups of caffeine. Much like a good tea, she finds that architecture is an experience of layers and senses which unfold across time.
Intrigued by the intimacies formed between spaces and inhabitants, objects and wear – the networks which underlie any design project, Nabilah seeks a way of living (and designing) that elevates and cherishes the everyday.
With a fondness for trinkets and crafted items, Nabilah decompresses by stringing together beads and found objects into wearable accessories.
