Building Spaces, Relationships, And Trust

Adrian Heng is a man with an impressive creative history.

As a boy, Adrian’s parents enrolled him in art classes, sparking a lifelong interest in design whilst simultaneously expanding the horizons of his boundless imagination. Art would remain a constant companion throughout the formative years of his childhood, later imbuing his teenage years with a zest for design. “As I progressed through secondary school, I enrolled in a technical class focusing on woodworking, with metal and plastic workshops. We also had to do simple technical drawings.” Adrian recalls. “I guess those classes became the foundation for my design work.”

This foundation would certainly come in handy through Adrian’s journey in design. After completing his O-Levels, he took an aptitude test at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, and soon found himself enrolled in an Interior Design diploma course. “Through the years, I’ve found delivering timeless, beautiful, and stylish homes to my clients to be extremely rewarding.”

Inspired Awakenings

Around the age of 10, Adrian had a serendipitous visit to a neighbour’s flat. Recalling the beautifully-designed space, Adrian shares, “I was quite wowed by the design of their flat, and secretly wished that I could live in their beautiful home!” The space in question had been carefully curated by the flat owner, who had himself been an interior designer. Adrian holds the memory with particular fondness, often thinking back to it, and the space that sparked his lifelong passion. “Little did I know that I would become an interior designer myself.”
