3. With the bank’s management in transition and the formation of a new
Customer Experience team, there was a manic excitement for the “red
lantern” to be harnessed into a cohesive design. Using the bank’s
monthly board meetings, I was able push an initially modest scope and
attain the buy-in for a bold new direction,
encompassing a new façade design, LED night lightings, and Building

4. With the bank CX team’s engagement to the word “loft”, I wanted to take my appreciation
of this term as a re-use volume with early-industrial usage of clerestories for light. By
removing portions of the existing roof slab, the fissures in the exterior monolithic forms
allowed filtered tropical light to penetrate into cool internal caverns.

The OCBC 6th Avenue site hosted graffiti artist Tr853-1’s
installation, as a part of OCBC’s FRANK branding to
appeal to youth and new-to-workforce segment.
The lifecycle of the built environment is stunted in Singapore’s change-hungry culture. In
the interest of sustainability, there is a calling to re-use the invested carbon footprint of
SG’s mostly Type II RC structures, and exercise versatility in re-sculpting them, or giving
them a new skin for the evolving market user.

5. Waterloo Centre – Façade Redesign. Night Lighting.
role Architectural Project Manager & Designer, Authorities Compliance & Permitting ONG&ONG studio 9
Waterloo Centre is a 1975 mixed-use development in the city’s urban Arts
District. I was excited for this HDB’s façade and renovation commission as
there was an alignment in our views for the building to engage the urban
streetscape in the Bras Basah Bugis Planning Area.
We kept close dialog with a concurrent URA (Urban Redevelopment
Agency) sidewalk project, so that our designs were congruent and
emphasized connectivity from the WLC plaza to a widened pedestrian
mall.

The WLC Plaza proposal exemplified URA’s call for dynamic street edge massing,
pedestrian permeability through buildings, pathways that draw people to plazas,
and connect to public thoroughfares.
The previously inward looking smokers’ corner was opened out and transformed into a
plaza-stage for events and congregation. The new façade emphasized visual
connections from all four retail stories of WLC towards Queens Street, where parades
and installations would take place.

6. Waterloo Centre – Façade Redesign. Night Lighting.
WLC Plaza was commissioned for the 2013 Biennale
and hosted Guo YiXiu's installation. It has since hosted
other Installations by URA and the National Arts
Council.
Collaborating with the Lighting Design studio of O&O, LEDs were incorporated to highlight the perforated aluminum ribbon that wraps the 3-tower estate.
A translucent LED screen acts as a Community Bulletin Board, broadcasting events to the Plaza, while pixilated light bands echo the content around façade bands.

7. I have an intuitive handle on logistics and wanted to get
more experience in Project Execution. My end motivation
is to use this larger skill set as an Architectural PM to
actualize strong design through a working understanding
of value engineering exercises and builder alternative
proposals.
In a PM role, I learned various QA/QC procedures, such
as a rigorous document control system, and
uncompromising site health and safety standards and
permit procedures for operations risk management.
The scale and complexity of the GWA Campus made
effective team coordination & procedures critical to a
successful delivery. Besides the Client / Design sign-off
management, and the Authorities & Compliance issues I
was familiar with, I also saw how Procurement Strategy
with Subs and Contract framing with Clients (incentives,
guaranteed maximum price, provisional sums) affected
project design decisions, time planning and budgets.

Projects typically consisted of Additions to Type3 masonry
buildings, restoring historical façades and retaining the
material integrity of the building.
There was a high level of detailing and working with local
craftsmen and custom millwork. The personal nature of
residential work entailed a high level of client management,

12. RCQS’s previous logo references Singapore’s Housing Development
Board’s response to the 961 fire of Bukit Ho Swee, that razed 100 acres
and displaced 16,000 people.
Impressive fund raising and mobilization efforts enabled HDB to
relocate 6,000 of displaced people to 1,150 new flats in Queenstown
area within 4 months of the fire. By 1967 there were more than 12,000
new flats in the area, creating the urban built environment of Singapore.
- Government land acquisition rights were enabled
- Relocation efforts for the first large-scale public building development
- Started a nationwide programme for public housing and kampong
clearance.
tiong bahru, silkscreen design
The conservation neighborhood of Tiong Bahru was established in the 30s, and evokes
nostalgia in many Singaporeans. The estate was a development of the British colonial authority
and is associated with a transitional period of progress, when people moved from Kampongs
(villages) into the urban and uniquely Singaporean take on Public Housing.
I lived in this neighborhood in 2009 while it was going through rapid gentrification. One of the
idiosyncrasies was the neighborhood chickens that had survived the 2004 SARs culling, and
continued on as a living artifact of this older neighborhood. The Tiong Bahru Rooster has
become a cultural icon, in one of the most successful Place-Making exercises in Public Housing.
cow car water, silkscreen design
牛车水 is what Singapore calls it’s Chinatown. It is a
literal translation of the original Malay name of “Kreta
Ayer”, referring to peddlars who sold potable water
from ox-carts in the neighborhood up till the 1940s,
before public water infrastructure was laid.
This literal method of translation is common to the
diverse cultures in Malaysia and Singapore, lending
to a colourful linguistic richness and confusion.
