FORMWERKZ ARCHITECTS LLP

Formwerkz comprised of a group of like-minded professionals that specialize in architecture, interior and landscape design. The practice is largely defined and shaped by their common interest in the recovery of mutual human relationships, and the restoration of primordial relationships between man and nature. Projects become vehicles to design happenings or more precisely, the conditions that can espouse more active engagement between man and man with his environment.

 

Formwerkz’s numerous projects have received critical acclaim both locally and internationally. Some of the accolades includesArchitecture Review Faith Award-Commended, The Building of the Year and DesignAwards from the Singapore Institute of Architecture (SIA); The International Architecture Award from the Chicago Athenaeum and the European Urban Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies; International Design Awards (IDA); Design For Asia Award by Hong Kong DesignCentre; Dubai Cityscape Design Award. In 2010, the 3 design partners (Alan Tay, Gwen Tan and Seetoh KL) were selected to be featured in AUDE's "20 under 45: The Next Generation” exhibition which aims to promote a greater awareness and appreciation of design excellence in Singapore. The Apartment House was listed in Monocle’s SingaporeSurvey as one of the “Best of the Modern”, alongside the likes of Paul Rudolph’s Colonnade and I M Pei’s OCBC Bank.
