The Pulseway The Pulseway is a project parasite at the rear of the Maxwell Chamber Suite, under the Ministry of Law. It accommodates the region’s top firms, and its exclusivity starkly contrasts with its predecessors, the Traffic Headquarters and the Red Dots Museum, up until its repurposing in 2017.

Given the nature of the premises, the tranquilly of its back parking lot stands in significant contrast to the bustling Tanjong Pagar during the day. With the surrounding context, there is a dearth of fitness and wellness areas, and open carparks are rare in the vicinity. This presents an opportunity to experiment with transportation, particularly cycling, thereby encouraging a shift in people’s habits and paying homage to the building’s historical significance as a Traffic Headquarters.

Moreover, the serene ambience of the current building aligns well with cycling, offering a unique experience that complements the library’s expansion, catering to the Maxwell Chamber’s demographic—lawmakers. This design intervention, integrated into the Maxwell Chamber, allows the building to reconcile its past and present purposes, fostering a new cycling experience. It also paves the way for changes in transportation methods across the cityscape.
