In land-scarce Singapore, Our Tampines Hub pioneers a model of synthesising community and lifestyle at an unprecedented scale and density. It condenses governmental agencies and facilities under one roof, creating a superblock of everyday life – a place of many places for residents to gather, bond and create lasting memories. The brief asked to revamp an existing single-use stadium and sports hall to accommodate a wider array of enhanced facilities. A key interpretation was co-locating these 30 community, sports, cultural, civic, and lifestyle facilities with co-sharing spaces between 12 governmental agencies and statutory boards. Thus, encouraging inter-agency collaboration and better engagement of residents. Previously, residents would travel across Singapore just to go about chores and activities while the previous stadium was severely underutilised and lacked pedestrian connectivity. Therefore, opportunities were identified to integrate new nodes and networks, turning it into a place of many places – a one stop-centre for all. OTH was envisioned as a highly collaborative effort between agencies, stakeholders, grassroots organisations and residents. This allowed us to design for and with the people of Tampines, as roles, responsibilities and decision making were shared among people. Hence cultivating ownership and opportunities for people to meet and work together.

This view of Our Tampines Hub from the junction of Tampines Ave 4 and 5 captures the digital welcome signage, the architecture of irregular intersecting volumes, and hints of the green terraces above. Visitors that approach from this direction are welcomed with a sense of warmth, vibrance, and familiarity as the colours, extensive fenestration and openness of the ground floor exude an inviting atmosphere for all.

This key image represents the pioneering endeavour to craft Singapore’s first and most ambitious forays into a typology that purposefully condenses and synthesizes urban, environmental and social settings into a synergistic whole.

Singapore has always recognised investments in urban infrastructure as a source of economic impetus for nation building. Our Tampines Hub is a large-scale civic infrastructure that caters to evolving needs of society and goes further to influence a positive economic transformation. OTH plays a significant role as a key node within the Tampines while injecting new energies and revitalizing the mature heartland, fostering a refreshed sense of place.

Our Tampines Hub represents a refreshed manifestation of the city room and social condenser. This ideology is an evolution of DP’s design philosophy through earlier projects such as Golden Mile Complex and People’s Park Complex. In OTH, this is clearly seen in the festive plaza captured in this image as large-scale public events are held alongside an ever-changing array of popup stalls. Visitor circulation paths wrap the room, creating a constant movement and visual connection of people and place.

Designing in human-centric fashion, OTH uses the idea of the ‘City-room’ in its Festive Plaza to interiorises common outdoor settings, creating an extra-large City-room. These ‘rooms of the city’ serves to further define linkages between nodes while allowing for more interactions and new energies to the locale. The Festive Walk and Plaza accommodates a variety of activities that that return the urban streetscape to the people in Tampines.

Moreover, OTH is strategically located at the heart of Tampines Town Centre and served by major vehicular and pedestrian arteries. Thus, this extra-large City room integrates surrounding nodes, networks and modes of mobility.

Supplementing the City-Room of the Festive Plaza, the Festive Walk also reinforces a people-centric culture as a City-Corridor. It seamlessly connects Our Tampines Hub with the suburban centre and central park in linear fashion, bringing further bustle and lease of life to the vicinity.

This City-Corridor, as seen in the photograph, provides a dynamic and ever-changing space for a whole host of activities and festivities to take place. Such a space allows OTH to interiorise public realm activities commonly associated with outdoor urban settings and streetscapes, drawing in greenery and street life into the building.

Through the section, OTH can be seen as an urban continuum from Tampines Town Centre to the residential estates beyond. An important sheltered pedestrian thoroughfare (Festive Walk) that runs east and west wards, weaves through the heart of the hub and enhances both pedestrian and green connectivity. The Festive walk is a natural transition for residents commuting from their homes to the MRT stations and Tampines Town Centre. Beyond convenience, it improves commuting experience which in turn reduces reliance on cars, reinforcing Tampines’ identity of being Singapore’s first cycling town.

The supplementary first storey plan represents an enhancement of land productivity contrasted with a strategically design borderless compound to offset an architecture of massiveness, as seen in the accompany section that illustrates the connectivity.

The area is transformed through enhancing land productivity through co-locating and sharing of common resources. Optimisation of land area has been a key advantage in planning economics. The yield comes through intensifying the original 5.7 ha site from Gross Plot Ratio (GPR) of 0.4, consisting of single-use sports stadium and hall, to a multi-use development at GPR 2.14. This frees up land parcels, originally slated for the current co-located partners, for other uses, hence generating significant productivity in the use of land.

However, at GPR 2.14, OTH would be a superblock that disrupts the urban setting based on its sheer scale and programmatic requirements, resulting in an intimidating building mass. This is negated by designing a borderless community compound with a highly porous ground floor where 85% of the perimeter is accessible and planned with community or social facilities. This allows visitors to approach the development from a multitude of ways while being warmly greeted be the vibrancy of activities all around.

As seen in the elevation of from Tampines Ave 4, the spatial organisation of OTH is achieved via a three-dimensional volumetric assemblage of programmatic clusters and facilities. This is unified by network of interlocking shared domains and green terraces, encouraging numerous exchanges between various user groups.

A collaborative ethos was adopted in the design which broke away from the atypical organisation of facilities that work through silos and stratification. This promotes integration, allowing stakeholders to explore fresh ways to co-locate, co-share and collaborate synergistically. Such strategies are manifested through the interlocking volumes and three-dimensional clustering of facilities where the spaces from the different stakeholders meet. Strategic thresholds such as sky terraces and open spaces are planned between these spaces to encourage cross-spectating and interaction.

In addition to spaces for large-scaled community events, these thresholds create intimate spaces, conducive for small groups. Our Tampines Hub departs from siloed communal spaces, creating a network of shared spaces, a superblock of collective identities, enlivening the Kampong spirit.

Our Tampines Hub (OTH) responds to the needs of the times by championing a vibrant social based urban typology through strategic integration of hard and software, resulting in a highly successful community space.

The Singapore brand is centred on people, striving to be a place to live, work, and play. Diverse demographic contributes to a complex yet beautiful culture, where the notion of ‘community’ is omnipresent in our design solutions. Our Tampines Hub advances the way we perceive community spaces. Being Singapore’s first integrated hub, it carries on the evolution of our community clubs that date back to the 1950s. OTH pioneers the shift to a new density of community and recreation with its network of partners, offering a breath of services and championing the ‘No Wrong Door’ policy. As a porous superblock of a public service centre, OTH boosts Singaporean Architecture with integrative answers.

Based on the number of government agencies involved, the project remains arguably most complex and ambitious – housing 12 public sector stakeholders with over 30 facilities under one roof. Innovation happens in reorganising these facilities by moving away from typical spatial configurations. Facilities with similar programmes and potential synergies were identified and co-located in clusters. For instance, the culinary studio (PA) is situated within the regional library (NLB) next to the food recipe section; CC Wellness (PA) is co-located with a medical centre (MOH) and Health Lab (SportSG) within the health cluster; Town Square can be a football pitch and more. This innovative programming creates greater convenience for residents while generating opportunities to co-share spaces and jointly organise programmes, thus dissolving conventional silos between stakeholders.

To date, OTH has seen an average monthly footfall of close to 1.5 million – a testament to the success of the development and space.

This photograph of the stadium highlights the multi-functionality of the space where it can be used for a myriad of community events and celebrations. Most recently, the Singapore Armed Forces’ Basic Military Training Graduation Parade was held in the stadium – bringing the honour to the heartlands for the first time.

On top of a highly dynamic space, this co-locating provides more efficient resource distribution. OTH is invested in harnessing data for better operation economics. Video analytics quantify key visitors’ data allowing the management to better determine popularity of events, address areas requiring enhancements. Based on these analysis, OTH management is able to report that amalgamating facilities under one roof has made the operational cost 30% more efficient compared to running a community centre, library or sports stadium separately. Data analysis can transform the way buildings operate and in turn influence future designs.

Within a new community typology, Our Tampines Hub shapes a new synergistic culture via co-locating differing functions managed by various government agencies in one site. This is a manifestation of the transformation of Singapore’s governance – from a conventional hierarchy to a Whole-of-Government approach. This approach breaks down vertical silos and encourages the spontaneous horizontal flow of information and spill-over effects, generating more opportunities to co-share spaces and jointly organise programmes.

Thus, OTH positions itself as an aide to the advancement of Singapore’s approach to governance, while directly positively impacting public space by advocating sharing practices through its intersection of spatial, formal, and psychological environments. These create new social settings and opportunities that enhance levels of interaction and participation from stakeholders and residents. Such endeavours in communal architecture cultivates a new sharing economy in the built environment that drives co-living and co-working.

In addition to spaces for large-scaled community events, these thresholds create intimate spaces, conducive for small groups. Our Tampines Hub departs from siloed communal spaces, creating a network of shared spaces, a superblock of collective identities and a place of many places, enlivening the Kampong spirit.

On the societal front, the conception of Our Tampines Hub’s typology is a response to growing social complexities in our social fabric. Widening economic gaps and increased social stratification calls for communal space that encourages interaction between social groups.

OTH was co-created between various agencies, stakeholders, grassroot organisations, and residents of Tampines via a highly intricate participatory framework. This process triggered an array of community engagement activities, from newsletters, social media channels, roadshows, focus group discussions, workshops, and even to neighbourhood parties. This stretched over an initial 12-month plan that saw approximately 15,000 residents engaged in the participatory design process through 8 focus groups, 5 block parties, 10 floor parties, and 11 road shows.

Along with efforts of co-location, co-sharing, and collaboration, these initiatives imbue greater sense of proprietorship and stewardship. The support that OTH has garnered has also shown significant growth, thus eschewing from segregation and alienation and improving quality of life on the social front, making the project a truly community-owned one that is by and for the residents of Tampines.

One key public feedback was to not see yet another typical mall in Tampines. In response, the commercial quantum on the first and second storey was redesigned, reorganised, and relocated to the basement, thus freeing up the spaces for other civic and communal purposes. As such, these engagements transcend simple imparting of information through having numerous follow-ups and feedbacks to ensure corroboration and avoid masquerades.

OTH is a forerunner in integrating and pushing the boundaries of smart and green infrastructure. With its scale and complex assembly of facilities, it is an ideal test-bed for environmentally friendly and smart technologies that generate environmental benefits and reduces carbon footprint. Technologies such as video analytics systems, eco-digestors, energy saving chiller plant, LED lights and green walls are integrated to develop closed-loop systems. As a community space, it is a living laboratory that showcase sustainable living, reflecting the aspiration of an environmentally responsible society.

The state of the environment directly impacts the quality of our everyday. OTH positions itself as a strong proponent for ecological sustainability with a zero-waste vision. Its mega-scale makes it ideal to be a ‘living laboratory’, adopting various environmentally-friendly and smart technologies. For example, 1.4 tonnes of daily food waste are converted to fertiliser, non-potable water and liquid nitrogen via eco-digesters. Liquid nitrogen is used as fertiliser for the landscape within OTH and the fertilisers are distributed to residents on a monthly basis. With such measures, OTH operates as a sustainable ecology with closed-loop systems that extend beyond minimising consumption and recycling resources – ensuring this large communal architecture is capable of being smart, ecological and humanistic.
