We are based in Singapore with close ties to Jakarta, Amsterdam, China and India. 90% of our projects are overseas which can be organised in different ways. It all depends on the nature of the project and what is needed. It does happen, that we design for a project in one country, and that is it produced in another country, options are unlimited.

A lot can be done on distance, even more since the latest pandemie we are in. Online meetings, online presentations, online brainstorms with the different parties can be organised. But also practically we can go into detail, we can arrange for 3D scan of spaces to work with exact measures, we can arrange 3D camera’s to see the context of the places we work on. And there is always the option to work with a local partner who handles a number of things on the spot. Sometimes this is unavoidable in connection with local authorities and regulations. We do our best to reduce time away from the studio as this leads to increased cost by our client and increases the environmental footprint considerably. We do have adapted well to this work ethic over the last years and it has not created any impossibilities.

This is difficult to answer, since many factors determine the duration of the project. The scale, the scope, the local circumstances to name a few. What we can say about this, is that planning, as is budget, is as important for us as the other aspects. This will be part of the design process from the beginning, and this will be communicated as clear and open as possible.

Off course! And, to be frank: Refined, elegant and spatial well designed spaces are the main focus of every project. Same as creating humane projects. We are there for you, the projects should embrace the users need, they should enforce the users identity. It really depends on the type of project and the client how bold we go. Some projects scream for it, some do the opposite. To be bold or extreme is not an aim in itself.

We do provide services on all scales: From just the design phase, to the delivery of the complete project with the option to turnkey. And all in between. Every project is different and has different circumstances, we have experience in many ways of working.

Normally the project starts with an orientation phase: What exactly is it that you are looking for. This will lead to the first official stage, the concept or schematic design. The definite design follows where all the design questions are being addressed and come together. Without doubt all is done in close contact with the client, you are the one who will be using the space. When the design stage is finished, we can assist with the rest of the project, from the construction documentation to the tender process, as well as leading the onsite management, till the delivery of the project. We can work with the contractor of your preference or out of our network, in both situations we can work closely with them to achieve the required results. A specific variation of a complete project is called a turnkey project. In this process we will be in charge of all, we will take care of all needs with regards to design and construction, in exchange for a price previously set. This supposes for the client the elimination of the management issues, what turns it into a most comfortable alternative. See also:

Yes, we can definitely help you out with these questions. We have experience to guide the client in what they are really looking for, and what would be the solutions for them. The same for budget related questions: We can indicate what kind of budget would be needed, and what the options are within that given budget.

We can also work the other way around. You might already have a specific budget, we can work with that and get the best out of it. We like to add that a budget is a very important aspect of the whole project, and it is very important to integrate it completely from the beginning. Our fees strongly depend on what kind of services are required from our side. When we have defined the project scope, we have clear indications for our fees. This we will communicate openly with you in the earliest possible stage of the project. See also:

From origin we are all architects. We are very open to develop or renovate all types of architectural and interior design projects. We would like to say that we are specialised in creating unique solutions, not in a specific type of projects. Our designs do stand out of their humane approach and results, they all attribute to our well being. They all are spatially very strong, embraced by the latest social and technological knowledge.

The founder of W has a background in wood. This combined with our feel for emerging technologies, you find quite some projects with these affinities, ranging from a splendid door handle, to furniture, to complete award winning interior designs.
