架构师提供的文本描述。在新加坡历史悠久的唐人街地区和CBD的交汇处，国防部自己的设计工作室使用了同样的关键原则来指导设计方法-类型相关性、有纪律的材料和色调调色板以及“基本”概念。在寻找一个地方作为其创造性努力的基础上，我们决心找到一座足以容纳我们整个办公室在一层楼的大楼。我们强烈认为，开放的交流是创新和创造力的关键；因此，我们的空间将没有等级或障碍，一个真正开放的办公室。

Text description provided by the architects. Inhabiting 6 converted shop house units at the confluence of Singapore's historic Chinatown area and the CBD, MOD's own design studio employs the same key principles which govern its approach to design - typological relevance, a disciplined material and tonal palette and an 'essential' concept. In searching for a locale to base its creative endeavors, we were determined to find a building large enough to accommodate our entire office on a single floor. We feel strongly that open communication is key to innovation and creativity; as such, our space would be without hierarchy or barriers, a truly open office.

演播室内的线性空间序列是在双基准线周长之间编排的，形成了横跨整个空间的环流轴。镜像终端点，拉长这些轴，成为每日的“猫步”。类似条形码，一系列的混合程序是在这些猫道的位置，从画廊空间，会议空间，开放式办公桌，热桌讨论区到图书馆。

The linear series of spaces within the studio are choreographed in between the perimeter of twin datum lines - which form circulation axes spanning the entire space. Mirrored terminus points elongate these axes and become daily 'catwalks'. Resembling a barcode, a series of mixed program are position along these catwalks and range from gallery space, meeting spaces, open plan desks, hot desk discussion zones to a library.

所有新的干预措施都被认为是现有空间景观中的对象，其设计目的是保持视觉上的分离。进入画廊空间允许不断的更新和一个表达我们自己的途径，而不需要重新发明整个工作室。

All new interventions are conceived as objects within the landscape of the existing space and are designed to remain visually separated. The entry Gallery space allows for constant renewal and an avenue to express ourselves without needing to reinvent the entire studio.

我们的工作区域是有意的纯黑白，这使我们能够解决各种各样的创造性探索对中性箔。图书馆是在一个未完成的木材和构造，它提供了一个更轻松的环境，作为一个计数器的其余空间。

Our work areas are intentionally pure black and white, which allows us to tackle the wide array of creative explorations against neutral foil. The library is finished in an unfinished timber and tectonically, it provides a more relaxed environment as a counter point to the rest of the space.
