Together with +A, ArMo Design Studio has crafted Third Space as a dynamic and adaptable environment tailored for a collaborative group of creative companies. The design prioritizes flexibility and functionality, allowing the space to cater to various uses, from daily operations to rental opportunities for like-minded businesses and entrepreneurs. With an emphasis on fostering collaboration and innovation, Third Space is an architectural embodiment of community-driven creativity.
The black-and-white theme and recurrent arches throughout the space highlight the historical value of the existing conservation building, which once housed a secondary school during Singapore’s early years. These elements not only pay homage to the building's heritage but also create a timeless aesthetic that bridges past and present, blending modern functionality with a nod to the site's educational legacy.

The architecture integrates both open and private areas, featuring adaptable sets for product photography, video production, and immersive social media content creation. Modern lighting, soundproofing, and flexible furnishings allow for quick transformations between different uses, making it ideal for producing everything from e-commerce shoots to immersive videos.
