The pop-up store was conceptualized to be a container that was modular without compromising design. A round-the-clock store kitted out with the latest digital-enabled features, service can be called upon through three video-assisted self-serve kiosks. Moving from downtown to neighborhood community, the hybrid service and lifestyle environment is shapeshifting retail experiences.

A concept that hopes to start conversations and inspire others to propose alternative living spaces for migrant workers, our designers considered a new era for spatial design and planning. From layout to material, modern elements of biophilic design and modular structures speak to wellbeing being a main concern in designing community spaces.
The most iconic element of our proposed architect conceptualised a tropical vernacular for the community. The proposed structure considers large overhangs, a porous layout with functional facade design. The octagonal shape of the building is intentional, making up eight rectangular forms of which are the positions of the rooms. Modular forms of the built aims for a fuss-free approach through the production and construction stage, especially if implemented on a wide-scale for the typical population expected for dormitories. Particular attention was emphasised on using prefabricated technology and low-density design to create a new archetypal layout that can be easily replicated and economically sound.

At ITAP 2020, Kingsmen envisioned a Smart Factory; a virtual pavilion for ‘TUV SUD’s Gateway to Industry 4.0: The Whole of Government (WOG)’. Together with our multimedia partner, Ascend, a Smart Diagnostic Lab of the Future was created for innovative learning.
Accompanying the pavilion were virtual tours for exploration, of which we also conceptualised a Smart Factory; TUV SUD’s Gateway to Industry 4.0. Tailoring to the diverse needs of companies across the manufacturing industry, the visual concept comes with bots with robotic arms, all pointing towards smart technology. Live on ITAP’s website until 31st January 2021, participants can navigate the whole event in a digital tour.
With a whole host of interactive virtual platforms, digital learning journeys and webinars, engagement tools like interactive animated videos and map were designed for facilitation.
