PRACTICE Medium Specific is a multidisciplinary design practice. We create experiences and environments that foreground the vicissitude of lifestyles, needs, and desires of its occupants. Informed by an architectural approach, our design process emphasizes an exploration of form as well as a responsiveness to context. The result of our work is a series of carefully calibrated encounters that reflect the social agency of spaces. Spanning a multitude of programmes including hospitality, residential, retail, exhibition, and commercial, the scope of our work is not limited to a particular typology.

NAMESAKE The name Medium Specific is adapted from the modernist art critic and historian Clement Greenberg. In his essay, Towards a Newer Laocoön (1940), Greenberg declared that the proper domain of each art form should reflect, rather than diminish, the expressivity of its medium. This designation brings to the fore the inherent qualities of a space that is captured, enhanced, and enlivened through design. Rather than focusing on style, or the trivialities of picturesqueness derived through imitation, Medium Specific believes that the innate characteristics of an environment must be derived from its form as well as particular context. Emphasising the arrangement of discrete elements, both abstract and material, form refers to the way a space is organised and codified. Whereas context concerns the social, historical, and cultural milieu of the site. A virtuosic deployment of form and an attunement to context purposefully orient one towards a space, making more vivid and full our experiences within it.

Previously overlooking the inner courtyard, the primary bedroom is brought closer to the southeastern side of the building, overlooking the estuary. The reconfiguration simultaneously allows for a narrow walk-in wardrobe to be fitted into the corridor leading up to the ensuite bathroom, demonstrating that transitory spaces can too play a significant role, when reimagined with purpose. Meticulously hand-stained in a shade of green, the built-in wardrobe is illuminated by a row of Artemide Teti wall lamps. More details on “Cone Flat,” can be found on our website.

The site is a two-storey row house located in Bishan, Singapore. Built in the decade following the nation’s independence, the terrace adapts the rationalist grammar of the prevailing international style to the climate of the tropics. It features vernacular tropes such as, terracotta roofs and clerestory windows, while favouring an appearance dominated by geometric forms. Tasked with a complete interior remodel, Medium Specific sought to boldly reinterpret the architecture’s antecedent sensibilities from within.
