The boutique studio runs as a team of five, helmed by husband-and-wife pair Mark Chen and Katy Chong. Located in a conservation building, the design studio has a hip and modern vibe with a sleek style.
Design philosophy:

Greatest enjoyment as a designer:
Seeing our projects develop from ideas and sketches into actual physical form.
“We are constantly learning, and trying different applications for and new ways of using construction materials with the latest technology and techniques, to make our projects more interesting.” – Mark Chen, founder and Director
