Kaejer and Luiyen: At E Three Five, we proudly serve as the Founding Partners, having both earned our Master's in Architecture from the National University of Singapore (NUS).
Kaejer: I have worked in several architecture firms before founding E Three Five. I have designed a wide range of projects spanning China, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore, including master planning for towns, shopping centers, condominiums, institutions, urban parks, and residential houses. I am currently an adjunct tutor in Singapore’s Ngee Ann Polytechnic and American University of Phnom Penh.
Luiyen: I possess extensive experience in architecture, exhibition design, and project management. Currently, I work as an architect and have been involved in projects across Germany, China, Malaysia, and Singapore. I also have a background in teaching exhibition 3-D design at Singapore's NAFA and presently lead a team of designers and architects.
Baliyon: I serve as a design strategist, critical design thinker, and design manager at E Three Five. My journey in the field of design commenced in 2008 at Singapore Polytechnic. Guided and inspired by various mentors and tutors, I pursued my design education, culminating in my graduation from the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) and the University of Glasgow (Glasgow School of Art) (UOG/GSA). I earned Bachelor's degrees in Interior Design and Design Studies with First-Class Honors.
With a rich background of professional experiences gained from various design firms, I have honed my expertise in human-centric problem-solving. My design philosophy revolves around re-imagining and reinventing design principles to align with the contemporary context and evolving circumstances.
E Three Five is a bespoke design firm that infuses narratives, spatial poetry and meticulous curation to each design project to foster a deeper sense of purpose and elevate the human experience that goes beyond aesthetics.
The firm specializes in residential and commercial projects, most notably Singapore’s Prime Minister’s office, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Polytechnic and Republic Polytechnic.
At E Three Five, we believe that spatial design is not just about aesthetics - it's about creating meaningful and transformative spaces that resonate with the essence of those who inhabit them.
With our unique design approach, we take our clients on a journey that goes beyond the ordinary, infusing narratives, spatial poetry, and meticulous curation to craft spaces that truly inspire and elevate the human experience.
E Three Five’s Design Approach
Narratives: Before the first stroke of a pen, we embark on a captivating journey of discovery, delving into the client’s lifestyle, preferences, and aspirations. By conducting lifestyle audits and fostering meaningful conversations, we understand the essence of the client’s vision. These narratives become the guiding light for the entire design process.
Spatial Transformation: We are poets of space, weaving emotions and functionality to create designs that evoke awe and wonder. Each space is meticulously planned to provide a sensory experience, a harmonious fusion of form and function. Whether it's the play of natural light or the strategic placement of elements, our designs are a celebration of spatial optimization.
Design Realization: With the narratives as our foundation and spatial transformation as our inspiration, we embark on the journey of design realization. Resource planning ensures that sustainability and eco-friendliness are at the core of our projects. Macro composition considers the overall harmony of the space, while micro curation focuses on the intricate details that add finesse and uniqueness to each creation.
Spatial Design is much more than the curation of interior spaces. Firstly, it aims to improve the well-being of space users.
Secondly, it harmonizes with and enhances its surroundings, and, lastly, it stands as our legacy and contribution to the betterment of Mother Earth.
