Architours is a series of chaperoned tours around Singapore offering participants exclusive access to some of the city’s best newly built architectural works, and includes behind-the-scenes tours and insights with the architect in person. Architours features a diversity of built projects, from residential homes to commercial spaces. Architours comprises 8 sessions of unique tours over 2 weekends, with each tour bringing participants to three sites.Architours is an annual crowd favourite at Singapore Archifest, open to industry professionals and the general public. Led by chaperons from The Architecture Society (TAS) at the National University of Singapore (NUS), Architours curate a series of hand-picked architectural works that are aligned with the festival theme and offer exclusive access into these architectural gems. Participants are invited to join an immersive experience that brings them closer than ever to selected architectural projects with the architects who brought them to life, as they share their insights on the processes of design and construction.Pickup point for all Architour sessions is the lobby of PARKROYAL on Beach Road.8:45am - Meet at the lobby of PARKROYAL on Beach Road9:00am - Tour bus leaves for destinations9:30am - Punggol Soka Centre by Formwerkz Architects11:00am - Project #13 by Studio Wills + Architects12:30pm - Colonnade House by LAR+D ArchitectsEnd of tour - Arrival at lobby of PARKROYAL on Beach RoadPunggol Soka Centre by Formwerkz ArchitectsThe Punggol Soka Centre was envisioned to be an Open Citadel that embraces all yet bears fortitude to safeguard the good foundation of Soka Gakkai's values. It exudes a dignified yet cordial presence. Interspersed with a series of courtyards, the seemingly fort-like building is perforated with meaningful spaces that opens out to nature. Nature permeates deeply into the interior spaces, providing a sanctuary that welcomes all. These interspersed courtyards allow for a series of varied environments, moments and ambience for everyday discourse, relaxation and engagement. To observe nature and for quiet contemplation. It aspires to be an oasis of happiness for everyone. Project #13 by Studio Wills + ArchitectsProject #13 is a renovation to a 30-year old Hdb flat in Singapore. The brief is to house 2 programmes (home and office) within a formerly single-use residential unit for the interim period and achieves a ‘framework’ to enable its future transformation.The result is a space that allows re-adaptation for a variety of uses and use patterns for 1 or more individuals over time.Colonnade House by LAR+D ArchitectsThe clients requested a "black and white bungalow," historically used by European colonial families in South East Asia. The design focused on adapting the bungalow to the tropical climate, incorporating passive cooling techniques like ventilation and verandahs. The architecture features a simple structural grid, with a central void connecting the three floors. Verandahs surround the home on three sides, providing a semi-outdoor space for each bedroom. Permeable screens and bamboo blinds offer privacy while allowing natural ventilation. The attic offers stunning views of Bukit Timah Hill, creating a picturesque backdrop for the family's daily activities.Disclaimer for Architours:Indemnity: By buying and participating in the Architours, you are deemed to have fully accepted all SIA/Archifest/Architours’s terms and conditions.
