About

Cherylene is a BA (Hons) Interior Design graduate from LASALLE College of the Arts with a background in sustainable urban design and engineering (architecture) from Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

She approaches design through a spatial lens, with an interest in graphical visualisation as a tool to represent and communicate space. Her process often involves material exploration and spatial quality, using making as a way to understand how spaces can feel intuitive, familiar or unexpected.

Many of Cherylene's projects are grounded in the Singapore context, where she looks at everyday environments and how design can respond to existing behaviours, cultural habits and changing urban conditions. She is particularly interested in themes of upcycling and material reuse, and how these ideas can influence spatial outcomes.

Through different internship experiences, she has gained an interest in exploring different spatial typologies, including F&B, retail and community-focused environments, and how each can be shaped through design to create distinct user experiences.

Symbiosis

Image

Isometric

An extension that expresses a symbiotic relationship between artists and society, blurring boundaries between artist and public.

Based on the concept of symbiosis, this is expressed architecturally through extrusions that extend the existing building, representing artists as an integral part of society while framing views of the city and shaping perception. Informality is introduced through spatial strategies such as framed views, changing volumes and overlooking spaces, allowing activities to be perceived gradually.

Located at Stamford Arts Centre, this artist residency supports individual research and collaboration. The public can access the space and observe works in progress, creation of art does not have to be behind the scenes anymore. At the end of each residency, an exhibition is held for the public.
