FARM and Nice Projects turn breeze-block-clad modernist school into lifestyle hub

🏢 In Singapore, the 1969 "modern tropical" school building, New Bahru, now a 20,156-square-metre lifestyle hub, was repurposed by FARM and Nice Projects for commercial use, housing restaurants, shops, wellness, and culture spaces, as well as serviced apartments. Formerly used as offices and F&B spaces after the school's relocation, post-independence from Singapore in 1965, New Bahru underwent minimal exterior changes to maintain its modernist architecture. The most significant layout modification was replacing part of the car park with a central lawn and playground, requiring major earthworks and traffic flow redesign. With tenants having full control over their interior design within set guidelines, the hub aims to offer unique experiences through local entrepreneurs and creatives, featuring a wellness space Hideaway by Parable and the fine dining restaurant Somma by Nice Projects.
