More content coming soon.“The inevitable search for alternative source of harnessing energy from Nature and ways of using sustainable and renewable building materials could result in new architectural modelling and expressions. The tropics has an abundant reservoir of untapped energy from the sun, it provides lighting, heating for comfort as well as electricity from solar cells; rainwater, for hydro energy; wind energy at high level; and other mechanical devices to produce energy. Combined, these alternative sources of energy could be sufficient for a building’s own use. From these interventions an architectural form could evolve, influenced totally by its dependency on nature for its own sustainability”.“The current method of designing high-rise buildings in the tropics may be out-dated. I see the future of tropical high-rise buildings as “energy-towers”, that are self-sustaining and also supplying energy to the surrounding neighbourhood.
These towers should be the energy source of the district. Imagine the whole of Asia’s tropical cities being covered by these “energy-towers”, producing a truly new Form of architecture, heralding an Asian renaissance”.

- We do Projects
- We are Professionally Affiliated to
- We engage the Public & Socially expand the understanding of architecture, heritage, conservation and the environment by being involved in the various organisations
- Occasionally we lecture, run workshops and teach at different Universities and Colleges
- We also try to explore the Architectural Frontier, investigate New Directions, and Energy efficient Architecture
- Our concern with our built Heritage has prompted us to campaign for its Conservation. We have developed the following 4-points approach to Conservation:
- With the destruction of the Natural Environment we need to preserve Nature and minimise its destruction, to reforest and replace what has been taken from Nature:
- We practice the Architecture of Humility, to be followed by the "Tai-Chi" of Architecture:
- As part of economising on the earth's resources and to be sustainable we exercise Frugality in Architecture:
