Orchard Road Studios



a collaborative project with Sammi Housley. 2024


The role of the architect, community engagement 
and beyond, recycle and bricolage as celebration











A design for an artist’s studio that became about how we 
can design and build collaboratively with locals and 
stakeholders. A project that goes from a prescriptive design
to an outline of community celebration and construction, 
over a developed timescale and project phases. Using local 
materials and existing structures to maximize local impact 
and minimize climate impact.
