De Saedeleer Shophouse
The Race Course Road shophouse is poised for a significant transformation with an A&A project that ingeniously integrates over 700 square feet of additional space. Utilizing the innovative Bondek structural decking and casting concrete, the building's total area will be increased to 165 sqm.
Inside, the design celebrates the raw beauty of materials with exposed concrete and brickwork, creating an atmosphere that’s both edgy and authentic. White structural components and walls act as a visual counterbalance, providing a bright, neutral backdrop that enhances the interplay of light and shadow.
The interior scheme is designed with a minimalist approach, allowing the texture of raw materials to stand out. This is not just a nod to aesthetic preferences but also a commitment to durability and timeless design. The resulting environment will be one of contrasts: the warmth of brick against the coolness of concrete, the solidity of the structure juxtaposed with open, airy spaces.
This thoughtful redesign ensures that the shophouse remains relevant and functional, catering to the modern needs of its occupants while retaining its unique architectural character. The blend of industrial materials with sleek, white finishes will create a versatile space that’s ready to adapt to various uses, be it commercial, residential, or creative studios, infusing the Race Course Road locale with renewed vibrancy and style.
