DESIGN BRIEF
COMMERCIAL PROJECT | PAST TO PRESENT: ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE | 1.1
Singapore has the reputation of one of the top global
city to live, work, and play. Not only well-known for its
trading and economic growth, Singapore is also known
to be a World Art Hub. Singapore's increasing arts
attendance and its aim to be the Arts Center must lead
to the increasing of creative platforms for visual artists
to work. Singapore Art Stage, which is the largest
contemporary art fair in Southeast Asia, is able to
attract over 35 thousands visitors around the world.
The building, where the artist
residency will be located is 99
Beach Road. It is situated near
Bugis MRT which is in the
heart of Singapore. This area
was historically designated a
part of the European Town.
Artist-in-Residence program gives relevant solution to the needs of art plat-
forms corresponding to the increasing arts sector in Singapore. With the
intention of designing artist residencies, it needs to show flexible space
design that can be utilized by fine arts artists focusing on two-dimensional
arts especially painters, but also accepting printmakers and photographers.
This artist residency is open to any local and international artists to collabo-
rate together in Singapore, however, they need to send their curriculum vitae
to show their motivation and experience. Both local and international artists
may apply to stay in this residence. Residents must pay the fee themselves
for their own stay or they could find funding or support from their own coun-
tries/networks. The program will run in 3, 6, or 12-month grants and the
works will be exhibited upon completion of the program on in-site gallery.

FOCUS AREA 1: RECEPTION & GALLERY
This concept is clearly shown in the reception and galery with
all ‘industrial’ colors of raw materials of grey and brown.
Adding the value of this heritage building, the concept is
emphasized by using concrete as its main materials. Industrial
style can be an unfinished look and focuses on combining
raw and pretty rough surfaces with clean, flat surfaces.There-
fore in contrast to concrete, the reception area will be using
white ceramic with gloss finish. Raw materials such as brick-
work and clean finish material such as glass will be used as
well inside the reception.

In a temporary exhibition, the display
should consider the flexibility in show-
casing the artworks. This residency is
only displaying two-dimensional arts
artists In this gallery, there are different
types of exhibitions: using steel track
with hanger, pivot walls, sliding exhibi-
tion, and display rack. These all different
types of exhitions are to support the
functions of artist residency as they are
only staying for a couple of weeks.
Color of red and orange is added to give
warm atmosphere and inviting environ-
ment. The gallery will be as well in neu-
tral color without any distracting color
to make the artworks stand out, there-
fore monochromatic colors will be
appropriate for this area.

- Edgar Degas

but what you make others see”

Restaurant is one additional facility that this Artist-in-Residence
provides. It is called as ‘The Loft’ because it represents the concept
of this artist residency and it is to show public how the lofty concept
is applied inside the residence. This 249-sqm restaurant provides
breakfast for residents; however, because of small numbers of
guests, breakfast facility is not those buffet types, the residents will
order the food provided on the lists every morning. It is situated
around public circulation that alows the visitors to enter and locate it
easily. This restaurant is open to public because the building is locat-
ed at CBD area and very easily accessed

FOCUS AREA 3: GUEST ROOMS (RESIDENTIAL LOFT)
Residential rooms will be divided into two types:
standard (around 33 sqm) and deluxe (44 sqm).
In standard room, they are provided 24-27 sqm
of working area, while deluxe room provides
more working area which is around 36 sqm.
Standard room will be suitable for one person,
while deluxe room can fit two persons. Loft con-
cept is applied in a way that sleeping and work-
ing space area separated; sleeping area is on
upper level while working space, kitchen, and
bathroom are on lower level. Understanding that
two-dimensional arts artists would work with
spray and other tools that are sometimes
poisonous, appropriate ventilation system must
be applied in the residence to help reducing toxi-
cal materials to spread out. Both natural and
artificial ventilation are very important inside the
residence.
Residence bedroom corridor is designed in such
a way to create huge contrast to those clean
white design of living space, however still with
the same concept and approach of industrial
style. Understanding that colors are the most
essential aspect and are inseparable from every
artist, the corridor is intergrating many colors to
create dynamic design and artistic view.

DISORGANIZED
A S Y M M E T R I C A L The concept for the design of the Arts & Design Center
Singapore is based on Geometric Abstraction. Geometric
abstraction is a form of abstract art based on the use of geo-
metric forms, placed in non-illusionistic space and combined
into non-objectivecompositions. The idea of our design is to
create something bold out of a building which is very symmet-
rical and planned. Since the outside of the building cannot be
redeveloped we decided to create something that is not sym-
metrical and planned inside. When entering the building there
will be a focus on geometric abstraction.
This Arts & Design Center is located at 39 Armenian Street.
This is an old old heritage building and gazetted by URA; it is
known as the Old Tao Nan Building.
DESIGN CONCEPT
PROJECT SITEThe head of one of the famous design colleges
named Art & Design Centre in America is interest-
ed in opening a new branch of academy in Singa-
pore. Art and Design Center Singapore is replacing
the old Peranakan Museum. This school requires
to have spaces that could accomodate 200-300
students. In addition, this academy offers a wide
range of diploma and bachelor programmes
focusing in art and design.

FOCUS AREA 1: LIBRARY
The overall concept of this school is geometrical abstration. This concept is too strong and distracting
because of bold colors and uncertain lines, especially for study and quiet area. Therefore, taking more
consideration, this concept is adapted and developed by using soft colors with striking band of colors,
but still is not losing the original essence of the geometric abstraction mood. Soft, muted colors in a
cool palette are generally best for areas where quiet study is the aim. Libraries where emphasis is on
study rather than interaction is good for having soft whites mixed with sage green or pale sky blue.
Every color of the rainbow has its own deep-rooted psychological meaning. The design of having
uncertain lines in every colors of rainbow represents human brain that is unpredictable and generates
more ideas and thoughts of the users. In the end, this library will be using every rainbow color in black
background to make it more stand out.

FOCUS AREA 2: DRAWING ROOM
The original concept of Arts and Design Centre Singa-
pore is geometrical abstraction. To apply this concept
to a classroom, there needs some considerations
about colors. is to use a bright energetic color on one
wall, behind the teacher, and a neutral or quiet color on
the other three walls. Student will be stimulated as
they look toward the instructor, but the restful color
on other walls will reduce eyestrain and promote
study. Ceiling design will be more intergrated to geo-
metric abstraction as it is not too visible for a space. In
general, response to color on the warm side of the
scale (reds, oranges, and yellows) tends to be more
stimulating. The power of warm colors in the class-
room brings excitement to students and increases
their brain activity. These colors are good for drawing
class as it makes students pay more attention to
specific pieces of work; however it is not adviseable to
get students to settle down and work quietly or read.
Yellow is the most appropiate color to be used in a
drawing classroom. It is the most visible color and is
the first color the human eye notices and an important
feature of yellow color is to enhance brain activity.

COMMERCIAL PROJECT | THE WATERDROP: MEN SPORTSWEAR RETAIL | 1.3
This company is selling men sportswear with some
accessories, such as shoes, watches, and socks. As it
is known that Singapore is one of the most competi-
tive cities in the world in business side. The location
of this fashion shop is in Raffles Link Mall Singapore.

The inspiration of this men fashion shop is from
water drap. Water drop is an ideal concept as it
is psychologically very calm but also giving a
dynamic shape for the interior. That is why we
are choosing ‘water-drop’ concept to set this
retail shop apart from other fashion shops in
the region. The atmosphere that we want to
have is calm, cool and naturall.

Bird-Nest 3.1Lighting Design
MISCELLANEOUS | BIRD-NEST: LIGHTING DESIGN | 3.1
The inspiration of this light fixture is from
bird nest. My partner, Vini Kurniawan, and I
decided to develop this inspiration into
applicable concept. Our light fixture
consists of three layers functioning to
create different lighting effects.
The first layers is to construct the initial frame of the lamp which is supporting the
light bulb and connect the upper and bottom circular frames. The second and third
layer is functioning to diffuse the brightness and intensity of light. We are using
warm-light bulb instead of daylight because of bird nest concept which is considered
as warm place for baby bird to stay.

DESIGN PROCESS
For this lighting project,
we are asked to design a
llighting fixture from
white acrylic paper only.
There will be no glue or
other adhesive element,
which means that there
will be only clipping
method from one acrylic
paper to another.
1. First layer is made to hold the frame
and support the light bulb.
2. Second layer is to diffuse the light
and spread the lumination properly.
3. Third layer with thinner acrylic
paper is also to diffuse the light.

Lighting effect create by two layers Lighting effect create by three layers
Light fixture creates flower pattern shadow
My partner and I named this light fixture as “Bird-Nest Lamp” which actually is the
inspiration of this project. By putting the third layer, this lighting fixture looks more
advanced and sophisticated. The same sizes and proportions of its layer managed
to have an organized shadow. It creates shadow pattern like flower on the surface.
This light fixture is not only used for functional reason, but also for aesthetic and
decorative element in any interior space.
