Modern Revival

Designworx Interior Consultant’s work on conserved buildings adds exciting new chapters to their storied history

Heritage buildings such as shophouses and colonial bungalows are not only treasured for their unique place in Singapore’s history, but also sought after for their distinct architectural features. No stranger to conserved buildings, with numerous residential and commercial projects undertaken over the years, award-winning design firm Designworx Interior Consultant accepts the challenge of such heritage projects with gusto.

“Through working with conserved buildings over the years, we understand the balance needed in tailoring the design to meet the client’s brief within the framework of the conservation guidelines,” says design director Terri Tan. Designworx conducts extensive research and documentation to strike a balance between the old and the new, restoring as much of the original structure and its architectural elements as possible while giving the interior a fresh and modern update.
