With a presence in more than 90 cities across 26 countries, Surbana Jurong excels in master planning, infrastructure planning, and urban development<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

In the mid-20th century, it would have required some leap of imagination to predict that two far-flung blips on the map would soon be competing with the seat of empire.<\/p>\n

But a little over half a century on from gaining independence from the United Kingdom, Singapore and Abu Dhabi now rub shoulders with London among the world\u2019s alpha cities.<\/p>\n

It has taken just decades for the tiny Asian city-state and former fishing village on the Persian Gulf to achieve the level of economic and urban development it took London centuries to carve out.<\/p>\n

This journey from blank slates to bustling hubs of creativity and innovation might not have been possible if it weren\u2019t for savvy leadership and strategic locations\u2014and in Abu Dhabi\u2019s case, the discovery of a certain natural resource.<\/p>\n

Crucially, however, both cities have shared a commitment to investing in state-of-the-art infrastructure and urban planning. This forward-thinking approach has catapulted Singapore and Abu Dhabi into the ranks of contemporary, well-connected metropolises, drawing businesses, spurring innovation, and significantly enhancing the quality of life for residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cArchitecture and urban design can transform a city and its culture, and three values in particular are intrinsic to this: urbanism, humanism, and optimism,\u201d explains Ivy Koh, deputy chief operation officer at Surbana Jurong, one of Asia\u2019s leading global urban, infrastructure, and managed services consultancies.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth Singapore and Abu Dhabi started as places of tabulae rasae, yet their deliberate embrace of these values has etched them on the world stage, creating environments that are as human-centric as they are unique.\u201d<\/p>\n

Koh undoubtedly knows a thing or two about these nouveau metropolises. Since graduating from the National University of Singapore with a master\u2019s in architecture in 2005, her professional journey has straddled both urban settings, offering her a dual perspective.<\/p>\n

Architecture and urban design can transform a city and its culture, and three values in particular are intrinsic to this: urbanism, humanism, and optimism<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In Singapore, Koh\u2019s architectural designs aimed not just skyward but also toward sustainability and functionality, aligning with the city-state\u2019s ambitious urban initiatives to harmonise dense living with green spaces and world-class public amenities, ensuring that the developments were not just visually striking but also viable for clients and the community.<\/p>\n

Moving to Abu Dhabi presented Koh with new challenges and opportunities. As the in-house design manager for a developer client, her focus encompassed the broader economic and strategic viability of projects. Amidst Abu Dhabi\u2019s rapid oil-fuelled expansion, her task was to navigate the ambitious architectural aspirations against the backdrop of market demands and sustainability objectives.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on her time in the UAE\u2019s capital, Koh highlights the experience of collaborating within a multicultural and multifaceted real estate landscape. \u201cAdapting to and learning from diverse perspectives and work habits was instrumental in allowing me to effectively contribute to and navigate the complexities of international urban development projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, Surbana Jurong\u2019s recent ranking as 14th in the 2024 World Architecture 100 (WA100) list emphasised the firm\u2019s global reach. With a presence in more than 90 cities across 26 countries, the group excels in master planning, infrastructure planning, and urban development, often bridging public and private sectors.<\/p>\n

Headquartered in Singapore, the government-owned consultancy has achieved such scale and success thanks to its vast network of member companies. These include AETOS, Atelier Ten, B+H, CHIL, KTP, Prostruct, Robert Bird Group, SAA, and SMEC, to name a few, with disciplines spanning design, facilities management, and urban planning.<\/p>\n

In recent years it has undertaken a series of transformative master planning projects across the globe. In Rwanda, the Kigali City master plan aims to transform the capital into a vibrant financial hub of East-Central Africa. It focuses on urban rejuvenation, transit-oriented development, affordable housing, and a green network system. The plan received multiple accolades, including the Best Overseas Planning Project Award 2010 and Gold for Excellence in Planning 2021 in the SIP Planning Awards.<\/p>\n

In Southeast Asia, the recently proposed Smart City Development in Vientiane, Laos, envisions a satellite town encompassing residential, commercial, and recreational spaces, including a convertible golf course. This project promises to significantly boost the local economy by attracting new business ventures, and promoting sustainable urban growth.<\/p>\n

The Surbana Jurong Campus in Singapore, meanwhile, showcases the group\u2019s corporate architecture chops, as well as its successful strategic partnerships. It also marked Koh\u2019s first large-scale office development. Designed with Safdie Architects, the group\u2019s new global headquarters features treehouse-like pavilions linked by pedestrian pathways, merging workspaces with parkland, and promoting communal interaction alongside sustainability.<\/p>\n

Beyond these large-scale undertakings, it is one of Koh\u2019s earliest endeavours that remains closest to her heart. A small yet significant conservation project on Singapore\u2019s Orchard Road, Temasek Shophouse was conceived as a community hub where policymakers and the public can mingle and discuss social initiatives, host events, and champion local culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite its modest size, its impact on the community and urban space is huge,\u201d Koh explains. \u201cThe project\u2019s non-commercial focus adds a layer of meaningful contribution to the community, showcasing architecture\u2019s ability to create value beyond commercial considerations. Moreover, the emphasis on conservation aligns with the preservation of heritage, which is crucial in maintaining Singapore\u2019s unique identity and a reminder of our past heritage.\u201d<\/p>\n

With its eye-catching art deco fa\u00e7ade, elegant pendant lights, and geometric, floor-to-ceiling glass panels, the renovation also serves to remind Koh why she entered the profession in the first place. \u201cWhen I was deciding what to study, architecture presented itself as the perfect amalgamation of my interests in community, design, and urban planning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe realisation that our work holds the power to impact cities, culture, and people is truly amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

NUS SDE4<\/strong><\/p>\n

The National University of Singapore\u2019s School of Design and Environment 4 (SDE4) is Singapore\u2019s first new-build net-zero energy building. \u201cA state-of-the-art facility dedicated to promoting sustainable design and environmentalism, the SDE4 building is a perfect blend of form and function, with its unique shape designed to optimise natural light and ventilation to reduce its carbon footprint,\u201d explains Koh. Surbana Jurong is the full-suite consultant for the project, in collaboration with Serie+Multiply Consultants and Transsolar KlimaEngineering.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Temasek Shophouse<\/strong><\/p>\n

Envisioned as a \u201ccradle of social impact\u201d, Temasek Shophouse encourages and elevates social and environmental initiatives for the common good. The shophouse was in a state of disrepair for many years before it was restored in 2019. Surbana Jurong was the lead multidisciplinary consultant and led the space planning and architectural design for the project restoration.<\/p>\n

Winner of the 2019 Award for Restoration at the annual URA Architectural Heritage Awards in Singapore, \u201cthe project is not only a showcase of award-winning architectural conservation but also offers a testbed for sustainable design initiatives such as an evaporation cooling system in the building\u2014the Vortex Fan and Airbitat system\u2014to promote hybrid cooling,\u201d notes Koh.<\/p>\n

SJ Campus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Situated on a greenfield site, \u201cSJ Campus pushes the boundaries of sustainable and liveable design,\u201d according to Koh. Designed by renowned architect Moshe Safdie, the new headquarters of SJ aims to capture the character of Singapore as a garden city, integrating urban structure and natural landscape harmoniously.<\/p>\n

SJ\u2019s multidisciplinary team\u2014from consultancy services to project management, architecture, engineering and landscaping to workplace strategy, integrated facilities management, and security services\u2014has brought SJ Campus to life.<\/p>\n

Woodlands Health Campus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Designed by SAA Architects, the Woodlands Health Campus envisions person-centric and quality healthcare for the future community by integrating three components \u2013 a strong ecosystem for community care, green spaces for patient healing, and SMART technology.<\/p>\n

The facility is Singapore\u2019s first hospital with purpose-built parkland for patient healing, social interaction, and staff well-being. \u201cThe design amalgamates new care models, technological innovation, and medical planning into a single, seamless facility comprising an integrated acute and community hospital, specialist outpatient clinics, and long-term care facility,\u201d according to Koh.<\/p>\n

Northpoint City<\/strong><\/p>\n

A transit-oriented development designed by SAA Architects, Northpoint City is a lifestyle hub of entertainment, shopping, and modern living in the north of Singapore, with services that cater to daily needs.<\/p>\n

With an assemblage of community spaces spread along thoroughfares and concourses, its \u201carchitectural planning aims to leave indelible impressions on all who interact within its variety of spaces: through creating placemaking nodes that would provide meaningful connections to the user experience, and positively influencing the physical, social, emotional, and ecological well-being of the community,\u201d Koh explains.<\/p>\n

TE14 Orchard Station<\/strong><\/p>\n

The TE14 Orchard Station, designed by SAA Architects, serves as an interchange station, a unique and distinct transport hub, in the heart of Singapore\u2019s premier shopping district.<\/p>\n

\u201cIntegrating seamlessly with the existing MRT station and adjacent ION and Wheelock Place malls to maximise connectivity, the TE14 Orchard Station has five entrances spread along Orchard Boulevard and Paterson Road, in sites occupied by lush flora,\u201d Koh says. She adds that these entrances were designed to reduce their impact on the heritage trees and landscaping at ground level and not to block pedestrian views and wayfinding along the road.<\/p>\n
