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 �exible space

design that can be utilized by �ne 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 �nd 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 un�nished look and focuses on combining

raw and pretty rough surfaces with clean, �at surfaces.There-

fore in contrast to concrete, the reception area will be using

white ceramic with gloss �nish. Raw materials such as brick-

work and clean �nish material such as glass will be used as

well inside the reception.

In a temporary exhibition, the display

should consider the �exibility in show-

casing the artworks. This residency is

only displaying two-dimensional arts

artists In this gallery, there are di�erent

types of exhibitions: using steel track

with hanger, pivot walls, sliding exhibi-

tion, and display rack. These all di�erent

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

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 �t 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 arti�cial 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.

narrow layout which is

beneficial for a working

studio. Artists need empty

the layout of the room

should be designed to have

a big open space. The toilet

DISORGANIZEDA 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 o�ers 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

speci�c 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 �rst 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 Ra�es Link Mall Singapore.

Our client demands us to have innovative look and

an international style that will set the fashion shop

apart from the competition. The client does not

want a theme approach to the design. This men

fashion shop design should have its own unique

personality and identify.

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 �xture is from

bird nest. My partner, Vini Kurniawan, and I

decided to develop this inspiration into

applicable concept. Our light �xture

consists of three layers functioning to

create di�erent lighting e�ects.

The �rst 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 di�use 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 CONCEPT

Inspiration Design Conceptualization

DESIGN PROCESSFor this lighting project,

we are asked to design a

llighting �xture 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 di�use the light

and spread the lumination properly.

3. Third layer with thinner acrylic

paper is also to di�use the light.


Lighting e�ect create by two layers Lighting e�ect create by three layers

Light �xture creates �ower pattern shadow

My partner and I named this light �xture as “Bird-Nest Lamp” which actually is the

inspiration of this project. By putting the third layer, this lighting �xture looks more

advanced and sophisticated. The same sizes and proportions of its layer managed

to have an organized shadow. It creates shadow pattern like �ower on the surface.

This light �xture is not only used for functional reason, but also for aesthetic and

decorative element in any interior space.
