Interiors : The Brick Loft

This project entailed the conversion of a former industrial office located in Joo Chiat in Singapore, into an airy & chic apartment. Designed by architects & cross disciplinary practice, FARM the spaces of the loft are bathed in light against the stark white wall surfaces and steel floated concrete floors. Conceptually the apartment borrows a localized aesthetic seen in textured ventilation blocks, painted brick and exposed, unrendered structure.

New Work: A-Frame

Jamaican-born designer Sean Knibb has converted a defunct IHOP restaurant in Culver City, LA into a unpretentious, yet trendy Korean-fusion restaurant. The design exposes the Douglas fir ceiling and covers the walls in white pine with unmasked knots, revealing the form of the A-frame. Colour blocks of yellow and red are used on the doors and columns as well to highlight aspects of the design. The interior spills out to a concrete patio and garden featuring low-maintenance plants and with ornamental grass.
