The pillars symbolise the strength of principles and integrity. “They embody the strength needed to raise the ceiling and
at the same time keep our foundation strong,” says Lucas, in reference of his
studio’s design principle.
What makes your firm and its work unique?
We want to build spaces that capture the homeowner’s character and lifestyle. Each designer at Archive Design help homeowners to express themselves through design and actualise it. Thus, every space we build is unique to the homeowner who resides in it; you will not find a repeated style or design across our portfolio.
What are your areas of expertise?
At Archive Design, we have a very well-equipped team of in-house carpenters, in-house drafters and even professional project managers. Thanks to this team, we are able to provide homeowners with a lot of freedom and flexibility in their choices of design and scope of work.
What constitutes a meaningful or purposeful space?
We think a meaningful or purposeful space needs to gel two factors together perfectly: function and design. The function of the space determines how useful a space is while the design of the space should evoke emotion.
What are your recent milestones?
We have managed to do our first two overseas projects, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and also in Surabaya, Indonesia. Overseas projects are always an extremely exciting venture.
What big plans do you have?
We are planning to expand our team to be able to serve more clients both in residential and commercial projects in 2020.
What is your best design advice?
Communication is key; it’s a two-way relationship.
“Good design works when it embodies ideas and values that are held common for the intended user.”
– Lucas Yang, Director
