Letter from the Guest Editor

客座编辑致读者的信

Dear Readers,

尊敬的读者:

“We depend on our surroundings obliquely to embody the moods and ideas we respect and then to remind us of them. We look to our buildings to hold us, like a kind of psychological mould, to a helpful vision of ourselves.” – Alain de Botton, The Architecture of Happiness

“我们拐弯抹角地依赖我们所处的环境表现出我们尊崇的 情绪和观念，并且提醒我们意识到它们的存在。我们期望我们 的建筑就像一种精神气质一样促使我们成为一个更有希望的自 我。”——阿兰·德波顿《幸福的建筑》

The fabric of society is its people, woven from an interconnected and complex web of social circles. With technology changing the way we reach out to and communicate with each other, how society operates and interacts is changing quicker than ever. As technology enables greater mobility and productivity, increasing work pressures, social priorities and lifestyle expectations make equal demands on a modern individual’s limited resources of time and attention. A well-designed social environment encourages multiple activities, multi-tasking and networking; and the physical space optimises social flow and support intended social frameworks, building bridges between disparate people.

The architectural and interior design projects featured in this issue aim to redefine how designers look at social spaces, amalgamating different typologies as unique responses to multiple user requirements.

In the case of redpan, restaurants are no longer just for dining, but can double up as a space for meetings, creative discussions and events. For Cinemaxx Junior, the cinema serves more than its singular purpose; integrated with a playground, it becomes an environment that rethinks the movie-going experience, expanding the notion of family entertainment. In Goodlife! Makan, the ubiquitous HDB void deck serves as a communal kitchen that considers the mental and physical wellness of senior citizens, while facilitating multi-generational exchanges within the community.

Design innovation requires the will to experiment and forward-thinking partners, to generate progressive ideas that respond to people’s varied and dynamic socio-psychological needs. The common thread that unites these projects is the simple desire to use architecture to enhance human happiness and spirit. In this way, together with its clients and partners, DP consistently experiments with the creation of memorable gathering places.

Angelene Chan

建筑及室内设计项目，便是以解决这一问题为重点，目 的是为了重新定义设计师看社交空间的视角，并将不同的类 型进行合并，以独特的方式满足各用户的需求。以 r e d p a n 这个项目为例，这家餐厅的功能不再仅限于用餐，而是还可 以作为举行会议、创意讨论和举办各种活动的场地。再比 如，在 C i n e m a x x J u n i o r 这个项目中，电影院也不只是单 纯放映电影，而是增加了游乐场地，形成一个可以反思观影 体验和扩大家庭娱乐观念的环境。而在 G o o d l i f e ! M a k a n 这个项目中，大面积的 H D B 组屋底层则被用作公用厨房， 这样的改造既能顾及到老年人心理和生理健康，同时又能促 进社区内多代人交流。 创新设计需要甘愿不断尝试并且有远见卓识的合作伙伴， 以形成先进的理念，满足人们的日趋多元化的社交心理需求。 将这些项目联结在一起的共同主线，是用建筑来提高人们的幸 福感和改善精神状态的简单愿望。 D P 始终坚持这样的理念， 与客户和合作伙伴携手，共同探索创造令人难忘的聚会场所。 林世雄 董事， DP Design

我们的社会是由相互联系而错综复杂的社交圈构成的。随着 当今社会科技的不断发展，人与人沟通交流的方式随之改变，社 会的运转和互动方式的变化也日趋迅速。由于科技的发展带来了 流动性和提高生产力的提高，增加了人们的工作压力，社会的优 先事项和对生活方式的期望因而需要投入同等的，尽管有限的时 间和精力。一个经过精心设计的社交环境，可以促使人们同时进 行多种活动、应对多重任务，并建立社交网络。另外，有形的空 间可以最大化地实现社会流动、使人们根据预期建立社交框架， 并在形形色色的人群间搭起友谊的桥梁。

Singapore Centrium 广场

新加坡

With 115m long frontages, the use of tessellation patterns and a colourful scheme on the podium façade not only creates a distinct identity for Centrium Square, but also relates to the rich heritage and multi-sensorial aspects of the Little India streetscape.

The decorative façade screen with varying heights is a modern interpretation of the historical shophouse streetscape, composed of varying heights, fine textures with intricate and colourful detailed decorations. Vertical slots accentuate the façade screen as an expression of the shophouse party wall rhythmic datum.

The rhythmic architectural frames in three shades of grey distinguish the building from its surrounding colourful counterparts. The overall interior concept extends the corporate branding of the UK-based hotel operator.

The interior design in the second-storey podium, where the hotel lobby and restaurant are located, reflects the Peranakan influence that is part of the cultural context of the Kallang region. The bold materials, colours and shapes at the restaurant create a vibrant and inviting social space.

Located at the corner of Changi Road and Lorong 105 Changi, near Eunos MRT Station, Hexacube is a five-storey mixed-use development that comprises three levels of office spaces, three levels of retail and a basement car park. The façade design uses hexagonal geometry, interwoven in shades of champagne gold and bronze-coloured perforated metal claddings. The elegant architectural expression announces Hexacube’s presence to passing traffic; the use of the same geometry in the interior spaces creates a sense of uniformity and continuity in the transition from the outside to the inside.

The ground-floor lawn serves as an urban green space, while providing a visual connection to retail outlets along the frontage facing Changi Road. All office spaces are designed to bring in sunlight and offer views of greenery.

redpan

By Bonnie Oeni

BUILDING CAMARADERIE 建立情谊

redpan的建立始于一个简单的愿望，那就是在一个优美的环境中， 即一个可以增进互动、激发创意的“客厅”中，分享美味佳肴。在这 里，人们可以一边用餐，一边在这样轻松愉悦的氛围中交流思想见 解。据观察， DP自己的建筑师和员工就喜欢在办公室附近的咖啡馆闲 聊工作问题，因此，建筑师事务所的设想是将 redpan起到在工作和娱乐 间界限日趋模糊的城市环境中建立友谊的作用。

要建立一个充满欢乐和愉悦的用餐空间，就要考虑到这个空间给 人们何种感觉和想法。与 DP的设计理念一致，我们希望将 redpan打造成 一个可以丰富人们体验的愉快而难忘的空间。起初，设计师必须进行深 度挖掘，考虑一些将一个普通的空间营造成一个创造记忆的快乐场所的 元素。然后设计师经过深思熟虑，打造一个温暖且充满活力的多功能空 间，并且要求无须依靠奢华的装饰和家具即能传达出时尚感。为此，这 些概念便浓缩成为一个简单的核心设计元素——应用复杂、动态和柔软 感的大量曲线和圆角在功能设计上。 DP正在对各种模式概念不断进行实验——包括生活理念、生活方式商业

和创意营销。作为其中的一部分， redpan是专为人们在一个舒适的公共 空间享受有趣的当地餐饮体验而设计的，体现了人与创意思维的能量来 源——食物之间的本质关系。

主要项目

redpan began with a simple wish to share good food in a good setting, a ‘living room’ that nurtures interaction and creativity, where ideas can be exchanged over a casual, convivial meal.

From the observation that DP’s own architects and staff like to hold informal work discussions at cafes near the office, the architecture firm conceived redpan as an exercise in building camaraderie in an urban environment where the line between work and play is increasingly blurred. The restaurant is in Marina Square, where the firm’s headquarters is located.

DP picked local restaurateurs The Food Explorer Group, owners of popular bistro GRUB, as creative partners in this ‘love affair’ between design and food. This first joint F&B venture between DP and GRUB has allowed both parties to focus on their strengths of design and food development respectively, each bringing their best to their table. The ‘red’ in the restaurant name represents the fully Singaporean labour of love, while ‘pan’ refers to the culinary essential where two very different industries – design and food – can cook up something creative together.

Creating a dining space that conjures up conviviality and joy takes into account how a space makes people feel and think. Keeping with DP’s design philosophy, the aspiration was for redpan to be a delightful and memorable space that enriches the human experience. At the onset, the designers had to dig deep to

THE PLAYFUL CURVES CREATE A FLUID AND WELCOMING SPACE THAT HELPS TO STIMULATE CONVIVIALITY AND A SENSE OF RELAXATION ON AN INTUITIVE LEVEL think about place-making ingredients that would transform the modest space into a happy one that creates memories. It was also a challenge to accommodate within the intimate space a fully functioning kitchen, bar, dining area and a private room with audio-visual equipment, while balancing design demands with prudent resources and a tight timeline.

The designers had to deliberate over creating a multi-functional space that is warm and vibrant, and conveys a sense of chic without relying on extravagant decoration and furnishing. To achieve this, the concept was distilled down to one simple, core design element – generous curves and rounded corners that add hints of sophistication, dynamism and softness to a functional design.

on an intuitive level. Purpose-built half-height walls crafted from stacked layers of plywood visually connect the space to the rest of the shopping mall, so that patrons are drawn to the accessibility of the space. The unfinished plywood reflects the focus on the earthy honesty of materials. The interior architecture is pared down to its elementary forms; architectural contouring, inspired by the process of modelmaking, is used to elevate the basic building materials, creating an unpretentious setting that allows users to respond intuitively to the space. redpan’s challenges allowed DP to experiment with the creative reconfiguration of cost-effective material, lighting levels and the positioning of elements. The strategic placement of colours and carefully chosen furniture transforms the space into comfortable den-like corners and cosy

spaces, offering booths, a bar, a private room, and a freestanding dining area with a generous skylight reminiscent of an alfresco terrace.

To broaden the restaurant’s appeal to working professionals in the area, redpan was designed to be classy and chic. Design accents, like the custom-designed hanging glass feature, create visual interest and depth in the tastefully understated restaurant design. Unique to redpan, the feature comprises 2,000 glass pieces individually adjusted by hand over weeks to follow the restaurant’s distinctive curves.

The glass table in the private dining room, also custom-designed, is made completely out of thin glass panels, including the legs, to highlight the versatility of this sleek yet sturdy material in creating simple, stylish and elegant designs.

These highlights are celebratory toasts to local

craftsmanship, innovation and DP’s attention to detail. After all, to establish a convivial space that encourages social interaction, the focus lies in creating the right atmosphere to inspire that interaction – this calls for authenticity and a keen sensitivity to the little things that influence the poetics of space.

Established as part of DP’s ongoing experiment in various typologies – including lifestyle concepts, lifestyle business and creative merchandising – redpan is designed for a fun local dining experience, complemented

by GRUB’s inventive Singaporean fare, in a cosy communal space that highlights people’s essential relationship with food as the energy source of creative thought.

Right: This adaptable dining area can be easily transformed into a private meeting space by drawing the curtains with special acoustic properties.

The design team worked closely with the client to understand the emotional, psychological and social needs of the growing aged community in Singapore. The comfortable and attractive design transformed the void deck into a social nucleus centred around the communal activity of cooking and eating. Due consideration was given to the movement patterns of the elderly, in their daily acts of cooking, dining, cleaning up and mingling within an intimate space; these activities empower the seniors as active contributors of society.

Furthermore, through these activities, stories can be shared and friendships forged.

conventional gated or glazed-up elderly activity centre models to create an inviting communal space, seamlessly integrated with surrounding streets and walkways. Through the use of an extensive array of full-height transparent glass doors along its entire frontage, Goodlife! Makan is highly accessible, while allowing effective crossventilation and daylight to flood the recreational and social space. The glass doors also keep the facility sheltered in the event of adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain or haze.

THE DESIGN RESPECTS THE SPATIAL QUALITY OF A VOID DECK TO CREATE AN OPEN AND FENCELESS COMPOUND THAT PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR SENIOR RESIDENTS TO SOCIALISE THROUGH THE COMMUNAL ACTIVITY OF COOKING AND EATING This notion of openness extends to the interior space where the kitchen forms the vibrant heart of the open plan, around which spaces were organised to complement the preparation and partaking of food. Strategically positioned mobile partitions allow the flexibility of multiple concurrent activities and events of different scales to take place.

Aligning with the client’s vision of ageing as an active and lively process, a bright and vivid palette of colours and textures were used to create a distinctive and vibrant setting. An integrated furniture and shelving system houses local spices, food ingredients and utensils which serve as wider textural indicators to reinforce the colour zoning and subtle differentiation of the various activity areas. Universally understood signages and pictograms aid elderly from all language and ethnic backgrounds to understand how to use the space. This inclusive gesture introduces a touch of fun and quirkiness to the community space, and contributes to its lively and dynamic character.

CINEMAXX JUNIOR REDEFINING THE MOVIEGOING EXPERIENCE 电影院：重新定义观影体验

By Leong Wei Lin

Cinemaxx Junior电影院是亚洲的首家此类影院，并在电影院领域 开创了先河。Cinemaxx Junior影院的概念源自于有儿童的家庭一起看 电影时的体验。影院专门为三到十岁的儿童和他们的家人设计一个 娱乐空间，观众可以随意走动，这样便不会将孩子限制在指定的座 位上，而是可以让他们到欢乐安全的环境里去玩耍，去电影放映区 域探索。将游乐元素和观影充分结合在一起，家长和监护人再也不 用担心孩子会妨碍他人观影，这极大地提高了他们观的影乐趣。

CINEMAXX JUNIOR IS THE FIRST CINEMA OF ITS KIND IN ASIA AND BREAKS NEW GROUND IN THE TYPOLOGY

其在设计上可以吸引孩子的眼球和其它感官，没有为了玩耍而 设置的固定路径——孩子可以选择自由活动，滑来滑去、爬上爬 下，或者只是在一个蚕茧形的旋转床上懒洋洋地旋转。对游乐的渐 进式探索和对触感的重视以及社交互动，可以使孩子们完全沉浸在 这个世界里，同时，非定向循环但却程序化的路径，让他们能够自 由表达并独立思考，从而获得全新体验。 除了游乐场和电影院的指定功能，Cinemaxx Junior电影院还将两 个独立的休闲功能巧妙地无缝联结起来，将观影活动变成丰富的家 庭娱乐体验，让家庭聚会更圆满。 Cinemaxx Junior is the first cinema of its kind in Asia and breaks new ground in the typology, offering a blended experience of visual and physical entertainment for children and their families in fun and cheerful surroundings.

and parent-child bonding.

The concept of Cinemaxx Junior arose from the observation that families with young children often do not fully enjoy their first experiences together at the cinema, where silence is expected and parents pay more attention to their children than the movie. This created a unique opportunity to customdesign a space dedicated to children aged three to ten and their families, by bringing together the two enjoyable activities of movie-watching and playing. In a distinct departure from the traditional movie-going experience, DP 11

Cinemaxx Junior redefines and expands the movie experience by offering patrons the freedom to move around at will. Children are not constrained to assigned seats, but are instead encouraged to explore the play and screening areas while interacting with other children in a fun and safe environment. With the play element fully integrated with the movie experience, parents and guardians no longer have to worry that their child would disturb other visitors, which exponentially increases their enjoyment of the space.

THE PROGRESSIVE APPROACH TO PLAY AND EMPHASIS ON SOCIAL INTERACTION ENCOURAGE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND INDEPENDENT THOUGHT, LEADING TO NEW EXPERIENCES Designed to appeal to the eyes and senses, there is no linear set path to enjoy the space – a child can choose to slide, climb, crawl, jump, swing from place to place, or just spin lazily in a cocoon-shaped spinner. There are multiple points of entry into the screening area from the play area, and a variety of ways to reach them.

One of the most exciting ways to enter would

be to climb up the yellow ‘Wall-o-lla’, a play structure designed by Dutch company, Carve, to reach the tube slide, which lets children slide into a colourful ball pit right below the movie screen. Given the high ceiling of the play area, the design optimised the opportunity to create multi-level experiences by introducing a mezzanine level, and a bridge structure that serves as support for the climbing tree and connects to one of the entrances to the screening area. The bridge also leads to the longest of the four tube slides, mounted on a wall right within the screening area. The progressive approach to play and emphasis on tactility and social interaction fully immerse children in the space, while the non-directional circulation and programmatic paths encourage freedom of expression and independent thought, leading to new experiences.

The cinema accommodates 106 people at full capacity, translating to approximately 30 families per session. The seating configuration was specially designed to appeal to a child’s sensibilities, with four types of seats upholstered in stain-resistant vinyl fabrics in vibrant colours. The seating design encourages informality, with bean bags, loungers, sofa beds and standard cinema seats. The non-conventional seats were also designed to foster parent-child bonding where, for example, the parent and child could choose to cuddle at the beanbags while watching the movie, much like how parents would cuddle their children while telling them bedtime stories at home.

CONCESSIONS & TICKETING

Extensive thought was put into the selection and design of the diverse range of play equipment to achieve a good balance of high physicality and low-impact activities for children to choose from.

The design of the washrooms was also catered for children, with majority of the fixtures installed at child-friendly heights, and spacious nursing and changing facilities are also provided.

Comprehensive and in-depth consideration was given to the design in terms of function, aesthetics, range of play equipment and lighting, with safety at the forefront. Lighting and sound designs had to cater to the high level of activity expected in the screening area. Specifically, special attention was paid to address safety concerns and ensure optimal viewing conditions.

While the overall lighting had to be dim, the overall lux level was kept between 80 and 100 lux to ensure that children running around can see their way clearly. Indirect lighting was also incorporated into the padded wall panelling in the form of whimsical lollipop-like trees to provide a diffused glow along the platform steps. Generous leg room provided along each platform allows for a safe passageway

for running children. In the play area’s layered ceiling feature panels, a mixture of diffused cove lighting, wide-angle downlights and nondirectional track-lighting were used to avoid excessive glare while maintaining a dynamic lighting atmosphere within the space.

More than its prescribed function of a playground and a cinema, Cinemaxx Junior’s seamless and skilful blending of the two separate recreational functions transforms the movie-going activity into an enriched family entertainment experience, and results in a celebration of family and togetherness.

Located at the Symphony Lake in the Singapore Botanic Gardens, the Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage is a popular and iconic venue where visitors enjoy musical and theatrical performances on a lawn amid lush and serene greenery. The banks of the lake form a natural amphitheatre that looks towards the performance stage.

The design of the stage is inspired by music and nature. The masts holding up the roof canopy resemble dancing musical notes from the front view, and the arched canopy roof works like a gramophone to project the sound across the lake towards the audience. The roof structure fans out like the vein pattern of a leaf, a reference to its location in Palm Valley.
