Architecture and design Studio Singapore

Alexis Dornier is an internationally recognised architecture and design studio with completed work in Singapore. Our built experience in the city includes retail environments developed for %Arabica, alongside a wider international portfolio of residential, hospitality and commercial architecture.

From our studio in Indonesia, we work with clients in Singapore on selected architectural projects where strong concepts, material clarity and spatial experience are central to the brief.

About The Studio

 

Alexis Dornier is an architecture and design studio working across Southeast Asia and internationally.

Our experience in Singapore began through completed commercial projects for %Arabica, giving the studio first-hand experience translating a strong architectural concept into built spaces within Singapore’s highly developed urban environment.

The studio’s broader body of work includes private residences, hospitality projects, resorts and commercial environments across Indonesia and internationally.

For new projects in Singapore, we bring this wider architectural experience together with local consultants, engineers and regulatory specialists as required.

Each project is approached individually. Rather than applying a predetermined style, the architecture develops from the site, programme, climate, material possibilities and ambitions of the client.

Areas of Work

HOSPITALITY AND BOUTIQUE DEVELOPMENTS

The studio works on hospitality architecture ranging from intimate retreats and boutique hotels to larger resort environments.

We approach hospitality as both architecture and experience, considering arrival, circulation, privacy, landscape, operations and the relationship between individual spaces and the overall project.

Private Residences

We design highly individual private residences shaped by their site, programme and the way the client wants to live.

Our residential work internationally ranges from compact houses to larger private estates, with particular attention to spatial experience, structure, landscape, materiality and long-term architectural quality.

RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL

Alexis Dornier has completed commercial interiors in Singapore for %Arabica, providing the studio with direct built project experience in the city.

Retail projects allow architecture, interiors, furniture, materiality and brand identity to operate as one environment.

How We Work

01. SITE AND BRIEF

Every project begins with understanding the site, programme, ambitions, constraints and priorities of the client.

For Singapore projects, local planning and regulatory requirements are identified early, together with the relevant local consultants.

02. CONCEPT DESIGN

We develop the architectural idea, spatial organisation, massing, material direction and relationship between architecture and landscape.

Rather than beginning with a predetermined aesthetic, the concept grows from the specific conditions of the project.

03. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

The selected concept is developed in increasing detail across architecture, interiors, structure, materials and building systems.

Coordination with specialist consultants becomes increasingly important during this stage.

04. TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT

The design is translated into a detailed architectural drawing package suitable for coordination with local architects, engineers, contractors and specialists.

01. LOCAL COORDINATION AND REALISATION

For projects outside Indonesia, we collaborate with locally registered architects and consultants where required for statutory approvals, engineering compliance and construction.

The studio can remain involved throughout the process to help protect the original architectural intent through to completion.

Architecture in Singapore

 

Singapore presents a very different architectural environment from the tropical island contexts in which much of our work has been developed.

Land is limited, regulations are sophisticated, construction standards are high, and projects often need to resolve density, privacy, landscape and climate within tightly defined boundaries.

Our completed %Arabica projects gave the studio an opportunity to work directly within Singapore and experience the precision required to translate design concepts into built spaces in the city.

For future architectural commissions, we see these constraints not as limitations but as useful parameters from which a distinctive project can emerge.

Our role is to establish a strong architectural concept and develop it with enough clarity that it can be successfully coordinated with Singapore-based architects, engineers, consultants and contractors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Alexis Dornier has completed commercial design work in Singapore for %Arabica. These built retail environments form part of the studio’s wider international portfolio and provide direct project experience in Singapore.

We are open to selected private residential, hospitality, resort, commercial and mixed-use architectural projects in Singapore. Projects are assessed individually based on their scale, design ambition, site and required scope.

We have extensive experience designing private residences internationally, although our completed work in Singapore to date has primarily been commercial projects for %Arabica. For a residential commission in Singapore, we would bring our international residential experience together with the appropriate locally registered architects, engineers and consultants

No. Alexis Dornier Studio is based in Indonesia and works internationally. For Singapore projects, we can lead the architectural design while collaborating with locally registered architects and specialist consultants where required for approvals, engineering and local compliance.

Yes. The studio accepts selected residential commissions internationally, including Singapore. Our role can cover architectural concept, schematic design, design development, interiors and detailed architectural documentation, while local statutory requirements are coordinated with Singapore-based professionals where necessary.

Planning submissions and statutory approvals in Singapore need to be handled by appropriately qualified local professionals. We collaborate with locally registered architects and consultants where required, while remaining responsible for the architectural design and overall design intent within our agreed scope.

Yes. International projects frequently involve collaboration with local architects, structural engineers, MEP consultants, contractors and other specialists. We can integrate with an existing project team or help establish the required consultant structure depending on the project.

Ideally before the architecture has been substantially developed. Early involvement allows the site, programme, planning constraints, structure and architectural concept to be considered together rather than trying to introduce design thinking after major decisions have already been made.
