Signature spiral staircase with 2270mm diameter topped by luminous Barrisol lighting serves as the centerpiece, merging light, form and movement. This is where architecture meets art.
The spiral staicase anchors the home’s heart, its rhythmic curves naturally dividing private and social zones - seperating the master suite from children’s bedrooms while maintaining visual flow between living and dining areas. The centerpoint is allowing light and connection to permeate both levels.

A precision-engineered spiral staircase, fabricated by specialized contractors in Suzhou, combines structur
al minimalism with refined materiality. The sleek outframe - crafted from slab-supported steel with matte white powder -coated cladding - floats alongside frameless glass balustrades, achieving a weightless aesthetic while meeting stringent load requirements.

True design integrity is forged on-site - where materails meet craftsmanship, and drawings transform into tangible spaces. I thrive in the dynamic environment of active construction, where every material joint, shadow gap, annd material transition reveals opportunities to elevate the original vision.

Playful Rebellion Salon - Delivered a fast-paced, youth-focused salon redesign - merging energetic branding with cozy functionality through bold graphics, tactile textures, and instagram- worthy details in just 1 month design and another a month for construction.
An inviting, ergonomic kiosk with cozy materials and playful durability for modern salons. It comes with roller-enabled flexibility, heavy duty locking casters. Enpowered clients to reconfigure spaces on demand with our wheeled kiosk solution.
Site is where transformation of sketches into spaces, and where ‘impossible’ changes becomme our ccollective victories. Construction sites don’t care about your perfect renders, but here’s what they do give us: the electric rush of seeing a wall go up, humility of learning that the best ideas of
ten come from the worker who’s been installing ceiling for 20 years.

We weaponized wonder - turning National Gallery Singapore into a living canvas where every child’s rushstroke reshapes the space. This phygital ecosystem blends tactile creation with digital immersion, democratizing art mastery through play.
Every millimeter mattered – we obsessively tailored this art ecosystem to tiny hands and curious minds. From torque-tested brush handles to crouch-friendly projection angles, our ergonomic rigor empowered 18,000+ children to create without limitations.
We reimagined Raden Saleh’s art as living dialogue - where kids welding smart brushes digitally reinterpret classics, merging heritage with tomorrow’s creativity.
“ Every sleepless night was worth it - transforming spaces into wonderlands where children’s laughter becomes the measure of our success. This is design with purpose: building memories that shape a brighter future and added something meaningful to the world “
“ That instant when a child’s gasp fills the gallery - their paintstroke igniting birds, tigers across the colour walls - is why we obsess over every ergonomic curve and pixel. These aren’t interactions; they’re childhood memories forged in light and wonder. “
Multi-Sensory Zones: Curating Distinct Experiential Journeys for Every User
Beyong the children’s expansion room, the collaboration between us and WY-TO architect have designed a constellation of specialized spaces - each with its own narrative, sensory palette, and behavioral triggers.

We redefined early literacy by building a walkable storybook where children physically traverse narrative landscapes. This isn’t just reading - it’s living the hero’s journey.
We materialized childhood dreams of a fantanstical library through sensory abstration - transforming “magic” into interactive UI design elements that feel enchanted yet buildable.
“We built a sanctuary where neurodiverse children equally access the joy of creation. The Magical Library isn’t just interactive - it’s a bridge between physical books and boundless imagination. Story -
book world that inspires children to become authors of their own adventures, centered around an interactive Magical Library where stories leap off the shelves.”
We transformed literacy education into a tangible journey by creating specialized coves, each revealing a fundamental aspect of books through interactive play. Every element - from tactile tunnels to responsive shelves - invites children to explore, question, and ultimately craft their own stories.

Exploration in door can be wall and projector screen, transformable and shows the flexibility of the space. The openable wall increase the activities space for a compact condominium space.
990SQFT 5-rooms condominium unit design challenge was client requested to have large amount of storage is needed and each of it corner/ cabinet have to house specific type and quantity of stuff. They do still prefer a spacious and airy open layout.
Was decided to demolish most of the wall and divide the space with cabinet-wall. 2 openable walls as the main feature and it is also where all the different type of storage cabinets to be built on the wall or hidden behind it.
Mild and neutral materials are selected to blur the boundary and outlines of the space on the inside. The muted interior emphasizes the outdoor greeneries view which the client likes it alot and it achieve the open and airy with non-blockage view indirectly.
