Life In-Between
by ZHENG Rui
 

This project examines the states that exist between the virtual and the real, as well as between introversion and extroversion, focusing on spatial transitions experienced by text creators. Using Bras Basah Complex as a base, it discusses the definitions of work and living spaces. My design intervention emphasises the façade created by the building’s windows and corridors, aiming to disrupt the living and working environments of text creators.

 

By integrating residential units with the podium roof, the design connects public and private areas while activating surrounding living spaces through this in-between zone, thereby promoting interaction among residents. This dynamic also influences the creativity and productivity of text creators. The design strategy addresses the blurred boundaries of work and life in the post-pandemic era, challenges the binary oppositions present in Singapore’s spatial strategies, and proposes new ways of existing in the transitional space between work and life.
