FARM is honoured to be the designer for the revamp of the four permanent galleries at level two of the National Museum of Singapore. The four galleries previously themed after Fashion, Food, Film, and Photography, are now reshaped collectively to become the “Life in Singapore” galleries, spanning from the 1920s up till the 80s in Singapore, each one delving on personal stories and voices of the people. They are now called Modern Colony, Surviving Syonan, Growing Up and Voices of Singapore. The main intention of the galleries is to transport visitors back to the eras where the stories took place. Each of the galleries is designed around a key identifiable contextual setting. Starting from the 1902s in a colonial black-and-white house, moving to the war-torn cityscapes during the Syonan-To period, to the carefree kampong days in the 60s, and culminating in the nostalgic drive-through cinema in the 80s. In creating a highly immersive atmosphere, interactive multimedia installations, ambient soundscapes and even smells were employed to heighten the experience. The verandah of the colonial house has scent of an afternoon tea with soundscapes of jazz music and chatter in the background. Things take a sinister turn in the Syonan-To galleries with sounds of bombings and air raids and a city up in smokes. http://www.leehuilian.com/the-pool-shophouse daily 0.75 2022-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1520158893689-89TG0532FEAQAK3XTBK6/FARM_THE_POOL_SHOPHOUSE_01.jpg Pool Shophouse The Lorong 24A Shophouse Series was conceived as a collection of architectural experiments and showpiece for each architect. FARM, in collaboration with KD architects were thrilled to be invited as one of the 7 studios involved. The conversation with the existing shophouse started with the intention to read the ‘new’ not as a ‘rear extension’ but as an ‘insertion’. We wanted to explore the spatial opportunities within such a configuration while heightening a unique experience inherent within the spatial structure of a shophouse. The monolithic lap pool on the first storey emphasizes the linear typology of the space, as it guides one’s experience from the front to the rear. Extending this idea of linearity is the monolithic volume at the rear which houses the private quarters on the upper levels. One experiences the continuity of space through a series of stairs that loop through the shophouse. Central to this continuous loop is the skylight that marks the vital interface. It bathes this narrow linear space with resplendent sunlight, and visually connects different parts of the house. Through these spatial and formal gestures, the dialogue between the old and the new is constantly questioned and new discoveries revealed through the shift in geometry, height, volume and material. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652067316733-G9YVWQ82VOGMEFS1VK67/FARM_THE_POOL_SHOPHOUSE_01_LORES.jpeg Pool Shophouse https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652067317359-K2CWXWJGEH7RERPTYMZC/FARM_THE_POOL_SHOPHOUSE_02_LORES.jpeg Pool Shophouse https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652067332787-W0RNO7B6AZ1M2KB4Z0PY/FARM_THE_POOL_SHOPHOUSE_03_LORES.jpeg Pool Shophouse https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652067332707-VZVNXF7TLL2CBNDPMQU4/FARM_THE_POOL_SHOPHOUSE_04_LORES.jpeg Pool Shophouse https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652067342416-U0YMIID5YIZ2SUZYM6X8/FARM_THE_POOL_SHOPHOUSE_05_LORES.jpeg Pool Shophouse https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652067350608-USXBMDVUKWD3C5XIDYOB/FARM_THE_POOL_SHOPHOUSE_06_LORES.jpeg Pool Shophouse https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652067351282-SLFLVHG1CVQ84J7ZTLAY/FARM_THE_POOL_SHOPHOUSE_07_LORES.jpeg Pool Shophouse https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652067363445-WDJ686329CHKD4T5I6QD/FARM_THE_POOL_SHOPHOUSE_08_LORES.jpeg Pool Shophouse https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652067362672-92VBJX6PW0W9HW66M3XT/FARM_THE_POOL_SHOPHOUSE_09_LORES.jpeg Pool Shophouse https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652067373426-U5OVG7TNQWHZHLVDGY7G/FARM_THE_POOL_SHOPHOUSE_10_LORES.jpeg Pool Shophouse https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652067383077-EUCV654H2OZ1A6TPJRFA/FARM_THE_POOL_SHOPHOUSE_13_LORES.jpeg Pool Shophouse https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652067382901-81YBCO3ZSPWCN8UQO9W4/FARM_THE_POOL_SHOPHOUSE_14_LORES.jpeg Pool Shophouse https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/277938c3-4554-4b6d-89d1-9c87f9da74b7/FARM_THE_POOL_SHOPHOUSE_06_LORES.jpeg Pool Shophouse -

The two exhibitions demonstrate the range of painting styles and art movements that developed in 19th century Europe. To capture the essence and spirit of the two shows, we envision a series of huge rooms, similar to those drawing rooms of old, interlinked by arches and openings that play upon the transition from one space to the next. For Between Worlds, the two artists are each assigned a strong thematic colour that plays off their works - a deep blue for Raden Saleh, and a dusty salmon pink for Juan Luna. And as one traverses from artist's space to the next, the wall colours literally blend and transition into the next colour as well. The archways that interlink between the various sections are made exaggeratedly tall, dwarfing the visitors as they pass under them. They are painted a luminescence golden hue, as a reference to gilded gold frames used by the paintings in the show. They are also intentionally skewed to constantly frame and re-frame key artworks and guide the visitors orientation. Over at Colours of Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Musée d'Orsay, seven different thematic colours are chosen, each of them picked for their relationship to the subject matter and ethos of that particular section. They serve as subtle backdrops to aid the sub-conscious understanding of the artworks. The arches here are more simplified and deconstructed, as a response to the scale of the space. Sometimes, they peel apart. Other times they simply demarcate a visual break between the different sections. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1520159415619-5C4BJ0BEJXBHEYURXI8L/FARM_CENTURY_OF_LIGHT_09.jpg Century of Light http://www.leehuilian.com/the-wall-house daily 0.75 2022-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1520158487873-PVWKNV5E9D4A51JBZTVI/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_04.jpg The Wall House This is a tale of two houses - similar looking, yet independent and coming together to form a coherent whole. The two blocks sit on a sprawling piece of land, belonging respectively to the retired parents and one of their children. This separation of the house into two blocks, in part a response to the sheer scale of the land, is also a requirement brief given by the clients. Programmatically, it consists of a two-storey block with the main living and master bedroom area, and a single-storey block housing the entertainment areas of the house. What links these two volumes together is the huge central courtyard at the entrance expressed in an austere geometry of granite floor and wall, an organically shaped oculus and a minimalist planting of six willowy trees. Like a sparse yet artful Chinese landscape painting, this sets the tone for the rest of the spaces. The landscape design, similar to the house, is also experienced in multiple correlated layers. It takes its inspiration from the philosophy of classical Chinese Garden where views are borrowed through cutouts and vistas, and where sight lines and spaces begin to overlap. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1520158667533-KKLN9JTHA36U4WZ0C5DW/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_09.jpg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066747828-97JPYUCQ7WXPCTDBJMI5/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_01.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066746669-CEDB7V3ZBG54GOTBMBXH/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_02.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066754984-ASXAJVT8MHHZIP4ESZGV/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_03.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066758513-O4IL8R699FQR9CCGFEMC/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_04.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066763736-PLAEJCO72E0AW750RAV8/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_05.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066768861-3DQL2YXV5LITTLGH2WQF/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_06.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066773600-TTCOMPHLAUV2P0E2KETU/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_07.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066777115-OYWIP0W4MMRHO2IWHVOZ/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_08.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066792131-R2YQMHJ7QTJ3F6B2UIH4/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_09.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066790726-TCL1SEUEEGE9DAT95XMH/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_10.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066803824-HZTYS8MOM6HNW7RMEY33/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_11.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066801329-9A9CFGN3291SX909PCSR/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_12.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066811170-TAV0O2VA62NHTBK7MQ6W/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_13.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066811343-CA1TQ81TPN4Y3S7JS1TI/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_14.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066820661-9LMTSJUBII1ILHIWI3T4/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_15.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066822647-W1CS8NVXNRH68NWW9DH7/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_16.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066825968-450B0GZUYDKM1DR8WQPO/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_17.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066831318-YVAP8E82BMSRP06SSDO2/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_18.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066839538-NS46OMZFV5TCEPV8CKCB/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_19.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066843370-XIQ88LCXF41LB4WRC8Y4/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_20.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066864282-V0ER8QALMHIEFO3AA4KO/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_22.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066853918-1FOHBB24QF7D3TSEJCOD/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_23.jpeg The Wall House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066866110-RUIA7L23SBONL42XJQUL/FARM_THE_WALL_HOUSE_24.jpeg The Wall House http://www.leehuilian.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2022-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1520159192632-ZB8ILJGZL3YL2PG7RPK6/FARM_SKYVE_MENUS.jpg Skyve https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1520159178714-NJCWXFB8LAORXH08ME07/FARM_SKYVE_05.jpg Skyve https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1520159092043-WMPAPFEBBGE1IW4GXQWR/FARM_SKYVE_02.jpg Skyve Who hasn't, in their school-going days, skip a class or two, just to sleep in late or catch a movie on a quiet afternoon? In that spirit of playfulness and remembrances of lulling languid days, the design for Skyve Bistro was born. The bistro, thus named, also harks back to the compounds' previous usage as a secondary school. The bistro's interior is experienced in multiple layers, and can be separated into two main parts - the main dining area and the bar & drinks section. In response to the client's brief for a flexible spatial arrangement, folding metal screens are used to segregate the areas, but when collapsed together, opens into one huge space. And on closer look, these metal screens are cut in patterns inspired by traditional floor tile motifs. Here, materials and choice of furnishings are selected and reinterpreted to evoke a laid-back old school charm. Wired glass, usually used as window louvres, now becomes tabletop surfaces. Dining chairs are made to look like old wooden classroom chairs. These are complemented with the terrazzo flooring and glass pendant lamps. Specially noteworthy is the commission of local furniture group Bureau, for designing a set of whimsical rocking chairs and other school canteen-inspired seating. We were told the rocking chairs are very irresistible, especially after a drink or two. The theme of schooling and skyving extends to the overall branding and collaterals too. The menus look like a thick hardcover tome of a graduate thesis's book, whilst the write-up within is sprinkled playfully with notes and gibberish, all with good doses of humour ad well-intended irony. http://www.leehuilian.com/notsosecretlifeofpets daily 0.75 2020-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1541554505285-7GO6T2ZFK207HVNI4OI9/PAMERANPOSKAD2018_1.jpg <Not So Secret Life of Pets> (clock wise from top left): Tiong Bahru SIT Dog, Geylang Dog 2, Geylang Dog, Shophouse Dogs, Pearl Bank Dog, Haji Lane Cat, Tong Ah Cat, Chip Bee Cat, Rochor Cat, SIT Cat http://www.leehuilian.com/new-page daily 0.75 2022-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1661660996609-BR9NCZL4V5VDFJAI6ZB4/IMG_6274.jpg In The News - TAS Get To Know Interview https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1622384476014-CXH7BBZ78XJN609PEWC6/20210328_BarnHouses_screenshot_1.jpg In The News - Channel News Asia | March 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1622386597431-AZX80S04DFV9AGD3Q5QB/20210228_PoolShophouse_screenshot_2.jpg In The News - Channel News Asia | February 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1590393747293-J4RC688T5UAQKIYQN4SC/LIAN_ARTICLE_190613_BUSINESSTIMES_1.jpg In The News - The Business Times - Weekend https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1590393917293-S2C2V43GRHIQ7E7B7SNM/LIAN_ARTCILE%252B20171014_CHINATIMES_1.jpg In The News - China Times https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1590393929011-YO5QDXVLJKKVRBU6BYMV/LIAN_ARTICLE_180924_SHENTONISTA_1.jpg In The News - Shentonista 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1590394601150-RTU7CZONBQL56X15RYPK/%23_2_Lian_20080624.jpg In The News - The Star 2008 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1590394597828-MCP45GR0J0UIHNT29QL7/%2523_1_Lian_20050720a.jpg In The News - The Star 2005 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1590395087958-54X7CV6UO7TTI94V2Q1A/LIAN_ARTICLE_150521_SHENTONISTA_1.jpg In The News - Shentonista 2015 http://www.leehuilian.com/2019_bt_1 daily 0.75 2019-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1568347443541-47RBCV9ZJSUGIZ6MBISX/LIAN_ARTICLE_190613_BUSINESSTIMES_2.JPG 2019_BT_1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1568347375221-DHY36NHNB2OL3AUA74IF/LIAN_ARTICLE_190613_BUSINESSTIMES_1.JPG 2019_BT_1 http://www.leehuilian.com/2017_web_chinatimes daily 0.75 2019-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1569213631183-6CTW9XHLCZZ5M68FTN3O/LIAN_ARTCILE+20171014_CHINATIMES_2.jpg 2017_WEB_Chinatimes 2017國際華人設計論壇，14日在台中市登場，分享亞洲優秀設計師的成功祕訣，全場座無虛席。（盧金足攝 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1569210357146-VADR8XK47J6CF7JF52X1/LIAN_ARTCILE+20171014_CHINATIMES_1.jpg 2017_WEB_Chinatimes 交大建築研究所所長龔書章（中）14日在2017國際華人設計論壇，與來自新加坡FARM設計室的李慧蓮（左起）、大陸的馮羽、香港壹正企劃(One Plus)的羅靈傑＆龍慧祺對談。（盧金足攝 http://www.leehuilian.com/2018_web_shentonista daily 0.75 2019-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1569144447163-UTSU0ZNYT3N0A1MY73P4/LIAN_ARTICLE_180924_SHENTONISTA_1.jpg 2018_WEB_Shentonista http://www.leehuilian.com/barn-houses daily 0.75 2022-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1569221859345-X95AK8M6EHMF2FLEORUQ/FARM_BARNHOUSES_01.jpg Barn Houses How do you achieve balance between family and personal space, especially in a domestic setting? This question was the impetus for the Barn Houses, stemming from the client’s desire as a multi- generational family to live in close proximity without intruding onto each other’s space. The site, previously housing a single storey detached home, was subdivided into four plots with four structures: two bungalows and two semi-detached houses. The original site was teased apart into four plots, and its irregular footprint became advantageous in allowing the four houses to be angled away from each other. To provide sufficient breathing room between the houses, landscape was used as a meaningful transition, actively connecting and dividing spaces simultaneously. Intermediate roof gardens and terraces extend the landscape across various floors, creating break out spaces that allow for situated visual interaction between houses. Simultaneously, planting provides barriers between private spaces within eyeline of each other. Landscape, openings and directionality work in tandem to articulate various opacities between the houses, balancing between interaction and privacy. A double-volume living and dining space is also situated at the ground floor of each house, creating a sheltered pocket of respite. This orchestration is finished off by the communal garden situated at the heart of the cluster, overlooked by all four units. The garden defines the negative space between houses whilst occupants are indoors, while also serving as an outdoor gathering space for the entire family, connected through separate access points to each plot. While maintaining spatial separation, the Barn Houses cohere through a common geometric, material and textural language. Terracotta-clad, pitched barn structures sit atop the main mass of each structure, signaling unity across the cluster. Internally, a common palette of clean, simple finishes is used, but each house is programmed specifically to cater for its occupants. The result is a cluster of homes that transition seamlessly from individual to familial, from separate houses to a collective whole. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066448076-8RYT5LNITXTF57F006FR/FARM_BARNHOUSES_01.jpeg Barn Houses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066464430-85H1FGRDUR449HJHRI8C/FARM_BARNHOUSES_02.jpeg Barn Houses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066469743-PO594U0RKT3YXQIZUWD6/FARM_BARNHOUSES_03.jpeg Barn Houses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066473979-IITQEQS95R2C300QZ3MW/FARM_BARNHOUSES_04.jpeg Barn Houses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066473758-4QIS3XDR2YBH5U4Q1WF1/FARM_BARNHOUSES_05.jpeg Barn Houses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066477649-833CGSKGRDLL5UI13KVA/FARM_BARNHOUSES_06.jpeg Barn Houses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066482202-PHW6TV0JNOGJAZH81SAN/FARM_BARNHOUSES_09.jpeg Barn Houses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066485699-3ZCJQ07M5N3J741BCW9S/FARM_BARNHOUSES_10.jpeg Barn Houses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066488377-LXZXN8N9L5T66LI1OTIC/FARM_BARNHOUSES_11.jpeg Barn Houses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066491035-YBXOD6HHJO5NGVV5FOEC/FARM_BARNHOUSES_12.jpeg Barn Houses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066493949-OJPVIXGM6HNUYBHQN665/FARM_BARNHOUSES_13.jpeg Barn Houses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066504875-NU2N4MZ8CBKFEZYK8VPK/FARM_BARNHOUSES_14.jpeg Barn Houses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066506613-H1GJ41NAXBRMNZVW9OPE/FARM_BARNHOUSES_15.jpeg Barn Houses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066512150-458IT4ZJMYE9I0OVF8X9/FARM_BARNHOUSES_16.jpeg Barn Houses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1569221931700-EPXZQRW4MDT3E7CGO7EC/FARM_BARNHOUSES_13.jpg Barn Houses http://www.leehuilian.com/museum-house daily 0.75 2022-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1569221686240-35KYIKTIZQ69Z7B186ML/FARM_MUSEUMHOUSE_14.jpg Museum House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1569221569049-IVKKEKWD5F6WOTP4M1SK/FARM_MUSEUMHOUSE_04.jpg Museum House What makes Museum House categorically unique to other houses is its floor plan, almost entirely free from walls beyond the functional separation of wet and dry areas. Instead of solid walls, collections of objects gathered over time by the inhabitants form the language that defines boundaries between spatial use. To maximise the land use of this ancestral site, grids were used to define and portion out the various spatial requirements of the family. The house was then sequentially crafted through the segregation of activities. Envisioned as a ‘house within a house’, each bedroom is curated as an individualistic space, interconnected by thresholds separating private areas from the communal portions of the house. The gradual build-up in volume and height seen from the front elevation signals the importance of spaces within the house, with the communal cluster culminating in a towering prayer hall. High external walls shield the house from eyeline of surrounding residences and help to consolidate external courtyards as part of the house rather than simply boundary spaces. Clad in fair-faced bricks, Museum House’s exterior exudes monolithism and monumentality, while the interior suggests a certain softness by connecting spaces via thresholds and views, rather than separations. Internal courtyards carved out from bedroom spaces are reminiscent of gardens within Chinese houses; these courtyards also act as light wells, drawing natural light into the rooms. While Museum House is designed to be largely contained, great expanses of glass doors and windows allow the eastern sun in during the early day, while the hotter western sun is repelled by the high external walls. These openings create visual connections between various spaces, their opacities curated through the placement of the family’s collections. Introducing these openings to the central internal courtyard visually links the threshold spaces, creating opportunities for the family to be aware of each other’s presence, signaling movement between the communal and private spaces. The result of these spatial maneuvers is a house that explores the notion of articulated monumentality, referenced from traditional Chinese architecture. Museum House re-thinks the ideas of enclosure, spatial hierarchy and partition to create a home that while volumetrically large, still feels intimate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066303799-ZSGVS04J4364P22K2K5E/FARM_MUSEUMHOUSE_02.jpeg Museum House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066304235-58U6GXX10PPQWO5SVI35/FARM_MUSEUMHOUSE_03.jpeg Museum House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066315668-XULFC5QCDIVIRRQR1KZH/FARM_MUSEUMHOUSE_04.jpeg Museum House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066314469-GY0ZBGBCGP01FIFL230G/FARM_MUSEUMHOUSE_05.jpeg Museum House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066328009-G7AKT5OYKSIDQIILQ0JA/FARM_MUSEUMHOUSE_06.jpeg Museum House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066328697-4Z8U85CISB5348EI47Q2/FARM_MUSEUMHOUSE_07.jpeg Museum House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066337359-4M5FDO366VH76A0BQTMD/FARM_MUSEUMHOUSE_08.jpeg Museum House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066338053-2P1WJ0WF306RV1OPJ32X/FARM_MUSEUMHOUSE_09.jpeg Museum House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066344375-N8H76YUVAJWWAJIRZDU5/FARM_MUSEUMHOUSE_10.jpeg Museum House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066349742-T050ZTZ7LYCWSQVRWL2G/FARM_MUSEUMHOUSE_11.jpeg Museum House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066357751-8SWXEKITH5VFZGSV855M/FARM_MUSEUMHOUSE_12.jpeg Museum House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066358895-EEE66BZLGJUYR6Y6J2N1/FARM_MUSEUMHOUSE_14.jpeg Museum House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066366137-AJ8HVBRQGVAQMK5YC2M5/FARM_MUSEUMHOUSE_15.jpeg Museum House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066365777-NGCHYCQOMOLTN8Z5NH4L/FARM_MUSEUMHOUSE_16.jpeg Museum House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066373484-CN1EFH6G709K7XV0YIXX/FARM_MUSEUMHOUSE_17.jpeg Museum House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1652066371192-NAKFGR8HZKV04K8Y5E9K/FARM_MUSEUMHOUSE_18.jpeg Museum House http://www.leehuilian.com/2008star daily 0.75 2020-05-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1590395272231-DI7RSHRN2WT6N2E1L14X/%23_2_Lian_20080624.jpg 2008_STAR http://www.leehuilian.com/2005star daily 0.75 2020-05-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1590392790065-X3P7VJNJ87VPJ8K2VBLQ/%23_1_Lian_20050720a.jpg 2005_STAR http://www.leehuilian.com/expiry-spaces daily 0.75 2022-09-01 http://www.leehuilian.com/2015webshentonista daily 0.75 2020-05-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1590394991362-HET99ALGTUYKJYTLAXQO/LIAN_ARTICLE_150521_SHENTONISTA_1.jpg 2015_WEB_Shentonista http://www.leehuilian.com/the-working-capitol daily 0.75 2022-08-28 http://www.leehuilian.com/59-jr daily 0.75 2022-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/b44934ab-aaf5-4bde-bf92-4077ad11a458/_MG_2301.jpg 59 JR -

The two exhibitions demonstrate the range of painting styles and art movements that developed in 19th century Europe. To capture the essence and spirit of the two shows, we envision a series of huge rooms, similar to those drawing rooms of old, interlinked by arches and openings that play upon the transition from one space to the next. For Between Worlds, the two artists are each assigned a strong thematic colour that plays off their works - a deep blue for Raden Saleh, and a dusty salmon pink for Juan Luna. And as one traverses from artist's space to the next, the wall colours literally blend and transition into the next colour as well. The archways that interlink between the various sections are made exaggeratedly tall, dwarfing the visitors as they pass under them. They are painted a luminescence golden hue, as a reference to gilded gold frames used by the paintings in the show. They are also intentionally skewed to constantly frame and re-frame key artworks and guide the visitors orientation. Over at Colours of Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Musée d'Orsay, seven different thematic colours are chosen, each of them picked for their relationship to the subject matter and ethos of that particular section.

The two exhibitions demonstrate the range of painting styles and art movements that developed in 19th century Europe. To capture the essence and spirit of the two shows, we envision a series of huge rooms, similar to those drawing rooms of old, interlinked by arches and openings that play upon the transition from one space to the next. For Between Worlds, the two artists are each assigned a strong thematic colour that plays off their works - a deep blue for Raden Saleh, and a dusty salmon pink for Juan Luna. And as one traverses from artist's space to the next, the wall colours literally blend and transition into the next colour as well. The archways that interlink between the various sections are made exaggeratedly tall, dwarfing the visitors as they pass under them.

Reflecting on the sudden stillness of Singapore's public spaces during the 2020 Circuit-Breaker, the exhibition is designed to be sombre and meditative. Circulating in a pinwheel fashion, visitors meander through sections that become progressively brighter and more visually vibrant — a reflection of a society striving to establish new norms in an uncertain period. This visual experience is augmented by a gallery-wide soundscape composed by The Analog Girl, that is further layered with spillover sounds emanating from a film-screening space. The spaces are defined with monolithic volumes and walls with blocky cantilevers; these are anchored around an imposing white rotunda, where a specially-commissioned film is screened within. These abstract forms are finished in austere and rough-hewn materials — red-tinted OSB boards, black-stained plywood, and textural plasterwork — that evoke the hastiness in which society was brought to a standstill. Visual and curatorial linkages between the exhibited photographs and film are established through a series of fenestrations on the rotunda. A variety of display methods are employed to showcase the exhibition’s commissioned photographs, ranging from an abstracted table-seat installation to evoke empty hawker centres, larger-than-life monolithic lightboxes that exaggerate the camera’s voyeuristic gaze, to intimately-scaled apertures that peek into how classrooms operate during the pandemic. Taking cues from the visual language that emerged during the pandemic, the exhibition’s overall visual and graphic branding draws attention to distances established by mandatory social distancing. The motif of double-headed arrows — physically deployed 1m apart from each other within the exhibition’s space — becomes both metaphorical and functional, in an exhibition that reflects on, and operates in an ongoing pandemic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1661658287027-VZKWZK4PIJBW8O9XXICF/FARM_396_PICTURINGTHEPANDEMIC_3.jpeg Picturing the Pandemic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1661658287642-5R4B20LGF843U98G22EG/FARM_396_PICTURINGTHEPANDEMIC_4.jpeg Picturing the Pandemic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1661658289059-S5D769FOIZZ1KF1QQOHK/FARM_396_PICTURINGTHEPANDEMIC_5.jpeg Picturing the Pandemic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1661658289875-8RP2YCC3MC1ZWATE1XXJ/FARM_396_PICTURINGTHEPANDEMIC_6.jpeg Picturing the Pandemic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1661658296124-ZQL1UHA8087NQMP1K4G3/FARM_396_PICTURINGTHEPANDEMIC_7.jpeg Picturing the Pandemic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1661658295332-2XTPEOJM7IFN6Y4J1LX1/FARM_396_PICTURINGTHEPANDEMIC_10.jpeg Picturing the Pandemic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1661658297170-4P6XZD8E8SUU53SIQPFA/FARM_396_PICTURINGTHEPANDEMIC_10B.jpeg Picturing the Pandemic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1661658298163-PYI9032VG1NJCO0AS2I2/FARM_396_PICTURINGTHEPANDEMIC_10C.jpeg Picturing the Pandemic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1661658298963-HN98FDP0J4DPJLB7JFYR/FARM_396_PICTURINGTHEPANDEMIC_11.jpeg Picturing the Pandemic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1661658300197-TUP3PM0LXVOGM0BMT7PB/FARM_396_PICTURINGTHEPANDEMIC_12.jpeg Picturing the Pandemic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1661658301183-SAL812YJV4JZQ06Q1B17/FARM_396_PICTURINGTHEPANDEMIC_14.jpeg Picturing the Pandemic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1661658303018-XDHK27RAOI7FM6DLX0TO/FARM_396_PICTURINGTHEPANDEMIC_15A.jpeg Picturing the Pandemic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/1661658304401-E5I5L6H8FHE1VGOI4YYO/FARM_396_PICTURINGTHEPANDEMIC_16.jpeg Picturing the Pandemic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/dc9293c7-c4d8-4f30-9b15-8df864f85569/FARM_396_PICTURINGTHEPANDEMIC_10B.jpeg Picturing the Pandemic http://www.leehuilian.com/nam-june-paik daily 0.75 2022-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52061360e4b0cc1763c16710/50fbe3a5-0164-4742-9c01-67d7ccd7cee0/FARM_431_NAM+JUN+PAIK_04.jpeg Nam June Paik Nam June Paik: The Future Is Now surveys five decades of Nam June Paik's pioneering work in the use of television and video in art. National Gallery Singapore was the only Asian venue for this exhibition, and this was the first time a comprehensive institutional survey of his work was presented in Southeast Asia. Amidst the visual and multisensory riot of Nam June Paik's installations, we set the works in a white box space for a neutral, non-distracting viewing experience. We then step back from the white box by accentuating the space with bold colour strips on walls, reminiscent of the SMPTE color bars, a familiar colour test pattern for television in the olden days. Using a ratio of 80:20 balance between the white box and colour accents, the colours within the space does not overwhelm the works but is carefully considered to guide sight lines and complement the artworks. As one walks through the gallery, the bold colours guide the visitors and orientate them through the exhibition. In other cases, the colours take on the role of a feature wall, complementing the works while anchoring them within the space. Special attention was also paid to the design of the artwork plinths. They were multi-tiered and triangular in nature to break up the regularity of the box and introduced a greater sense of dynamism within the space.
