Singapore's tropical climate is not far from Bali's — hot, humid, with year-round rain — so ventilation and shading strategies are less of a leap than in a desert or temperate market. What's different is land: plots are small, buildings are tall and close together, and the Urban Redevelopment Authority together with schemes like Landscaping for Urban Spaces and High-Rises (LUSH) require greenery and setback provisions that most low-density Bali villa work doesn't have to account for. Green Mark sustainability certification is also a common baseline expectation for larger residential and hospitality projects.
The studio's experience with tropical ventilation, planting integration and indoor-outdoor living is genuinely relevant to Singapore's climate, more so than in most other markets on this list. What's missing is built experience with Singapore's regulatory environment and vertical, high-density construction, since the studio's completed projects are villa-scale and low-rise. A first Singapore project would need a Singapore-licensed architect for planning submissions, structural engineering and code compliance, with the studio contributing design direction and interior architecture.
Landed houses — the semi-detached and bungalow properties that exist alongside Singapore's apartment towers — are the closest match to the studio's usual villa-scale work, since they allow more of the garden and courtyard planning that doesn't fit inside a high-rise unit.
Is there a completed Singapore project? Not currently — the studio's built work is in Bali and Indonesia. Singapore would be a new market.
Does tropical Bali experience actually apply here? Partly. Climate logic overlaps more than with a desert or temperate city, but Singapore's density, height and planning rules require local expertise the studio doesn't have in-house.
Singapore's dense, vertical planning environment has more in common with Hong Kong than with lower-density island markets, while its climate overlaps with Vietnam's. Reach out through the contact page to talk through a project.
