Library@Chinatown Point Library @ Chinatown was officially opened on Jan 2013. With a total floor area of 10,800 sqft, the library is NLB’s first themed library on chinese arts and culture. It is also the first library in Singapore to experiment with a visitor self-service model run by volunteers. The library carries a thematic collection of titles on calligraphy, literature, music, painting, traditional customs and more. There is also a small selection of books and audio-visual materials in commonly spoken Chinese dialects such as Hokkien, Teochew and Cantonese. Visitors can read local and foreign online newspapers on large screens via standing iPad control stands. Our design proposal for the Chinatown Point NLB Chinese Arts & culture library has been directly inspired by the rich architectural legacy and design traditions of China. As the focus of the library is distinctly curated to feature Chinese language and cultural selections, we felt it was important to honor the heritage of this collection by housing it in a distinctly Chinese setting. At the same time, we did not want to trivialize this design legacy by overtly applying tacky copies of “Chinese” design elements, or turn the library into a theme park of Chinese history. Instead, we have been inspired by traditional design concepts, worked to modernize and simplify them, and combined them with the technical and spatial requirements given in the library brief. Our proposal represents a contemporary interpretation of a classic Chinese setting adapted to the programme requirements of a library.

Apartments @ Kempas Bahru Design Stage The development, in collaboration with Serie Architects, features 436 apartments in two towers. The complex also includes a row of shophouses on the south perimeter of the site, a clubhouse, extensive carparking, a swimming pool, outdoor party pavilions, bbq areas, children’s play area, gardens and tennis courts. The core concept of the tower design is to re-configure the relationship between living space and nature in high-rise living through layers of greenery where apartments are interspersed with garden terraces bringing nature and greenery into immediate proximity to living. The development aims to create not only an elegant and expressive architecture for the city of Johor but also generous and commodious living spaces for its residents. The idea of layering garden terraces across the full length of the apartment unit changes the relationship between interior and exterior space in the high-rise to create innovative and remarkable spaces.

The layering of amenities, programmes, and natural features will create an intensity of experience and activity that will bring the landscape to life.
