to engage

Lined up with 12 thematic zones underlining the rich habitat of Indonesian waters, the remarkable area combines aquatic display and marine creatures to create an atmospheric enclave amidst the leisure possibilities within a mall.  

Collaborating with consultants and vendors across the globe, the project was executed with an international team. An inspiring journey enhanced by coral reefs design or underwater currents influenced by swirling school of fishes lining the ceiling, expect to float through the curated dreamscape.

Dian Xiao Er

to inspire

Dian Xiao Er at Changi Jewel tells a tale of an oriental traveller arriving at the inn. An elevated experience from its other outlets, the dramatic setting fuses modern sophistication and ancient style.  

Substantial attention was given to maintaining a symmetrical composition throughout the restaurant, accentuating the harmonious balance that resonates throughout oriental architecture. The overall ambience maintains rich and rustic materials through motifs of timber abacuses, terracotta roof tiles and natural raw granite. Binding history to the present, these materials complement the authenticity of their herbal roast duck prepared daily and on display in the modern open kitchen concept.  

Captivating first sights are the circular frames greeting visitors, a unique spatial experience that draws attention inwards while delineating spatial hierarchy. As you proceed in, you may pick a seat among the common areas or make your way to the private rooms. The cavernous quality of the curved frames is compatible with the earthy timber and weathered stone, creating nostalgia and coziness in the environment.  

Walking by the façade of the restaurant, the unique visual symmetry draws visitors in to appreciate the refined yet raw ambience while savouring their traditional dishes. In this abstract arrangement that leaves a modern impression, stepping into the store is akin to stepping into a 21st century Chinese teahouse. 

Visual Symmetry that can be seen from the entrance
“The detail in the visual experience is outstanding, via simple inexpensive but effective design
to draw the focus of customers into the internal environment with strong visual guides via circular frames.
A very good example of how a clever and simple idea can carry the entire design of a space without overdoing.”
Ken Koo
President of Red Dot, Asia
“This is a great example where design did its magic to elevate the brand to a higher
refined level by transforming this restaurant's spatial experience through contemporary
interpretation of Chinese architecture, interior, furniture and decorative elements. 
The keen attention to refined details, clever use of symmetry and tapestry of materials
creates a visually balanced environment very suited for eating experience.”

LTA Mobility Gallery

to inspire

Conceptualising a futuristic scene, a blue colour palette was selected, tying in LTA’s corporate colour and representing the depth of intelligence in their strategies.In order to envision the forward-looking approach of the group, imaginations of future bus concepts were set up, allowing a glimpse of the innovative ways we would approach city living.  

Beyond the exciting lifestyle to come for the public, the gallery reveals the depth of LTA’s workflow and the rail technicians working in the background of operations. To recognise the experience of ground crews, we explored the site from thirteen levels underground. Using this encounter, we delivered accurate details of the successful railway system across the visual production of the exhibits, documenting rare scenes of the individuals behind the show.
