Established in 2021 by Wesley Liew and Jessica Baczkowski, the multi-disciplinary design practice, based in Singapore and France, is internationally positioned yet contextually engaged. The practice’s portfolio comprises projects of diverse typologies, including residential, commercial, retail and industrial sectors. The works are integrative, spanning architectural, interior, landscape and urban design, from concept stage through to project delivery.
Central to the studio’s design philosophy is a commitment to the experiential and sensuous material qualities of architecture. Its founders are passionate about the curation of meditated moments that intrigue and invite movement through their buildings. Crafted details and rich textures stand in contrast to formal, minimal geometries, accentuated by the sculptural quality of light. Mood and atmosphere becomes an aesthetic quality of the architecture, and inherent in the design is a luxuriance yet stillness that appeals deeply to one’s emotional sensibilities.
This endeavour for poetic precision is buttressed by a strong emphasis on the design process. A large amount of effort is put into refining every element of the design to achieve elegant and enduring buildings. Together with forward-thinking clients with an equal enthusiasm for design, the team is dedicated to collaborating well with consultants and contractors to distil the convoluted process of designing a piece of architecture into the perfectly tempered feel of a built space. The end result is often a timeless and well-conceived building that both looks and feels harmonious.
