Central Public Library @ 100 Victoria Street

Project Type: Institutional

Project Scope: Additions and Alterations

Completion: 2024

The project is a total revamp of Singapore’s Flagship Public Library @ Central Public Library. The design introduces a variety of curated spaces and surfaces, using traditional materials in modern ways to pay homage to the Singapore Vernacular.
Open plan concept is adopted, with a central circulation cum communal space, colloquially named the ‘Void Deck’. A series of feature terracotta fins are deployed as feature design elements, separating communal with stack/study areas. A ‘Green Heart’ with a live green wall serves as a central anchor of the space.
