BishopsbournewasdesignedfortheBishopof Singapore’s place of residence, during their time of service. This A&A was done during the transition period for the newly appointed Bishop Titus in 2020.
This conservation bungalow that was built in 1945 is restored with minor adjustments to the new Bishop’s lifestyle.
The proposed design attempts to replicate the same usage in functional spaces despite the modern lifestyle of the family by allowing porosity through the house.
Due to conservation, the Linkway to the Chapel out house was to be as subtle in language and hidden from the main entrance. The sheltered linkage between them allows the compound to be seen as an extension instead of 2 separate buildings.

Affordance in Movement was my M.Archproject that aims at providing the urban child with variations in their daily lifestyle.
As urban landscape of cities accommodates high volumes of high-rise buildings, making open space for moving and exploring limited and restricted.
This thesis seeks to provide a taxonomy of structures to learn or regain active mobility by integrating them into our everyday paths.
They spark the child-like curiosity and invite pedestrians to transverse the architecture and nature through, weaving among the trees and connecting to scattered nodes across the site.
Rhythms extracted from nature allow children to take more playful routes to get from Point A to B, while their guardians are able to still watch over them from safe distance
