Allan Wang
Director
Allan’s journey in the design profession began in 2007 at SCDA Architects, where he designed and delivered projects across various types, including residential, hospitality, and public structures, such as the award-winning Dhoby Ghaut Green.
In 2008, he joined DP Architects (DPA) on the Beach Villas at Resorts World Sentosa – West Zone and Yotel Singapore, the first for the hospitality brand in Asia. Over the next seven years, Allan developed expertise in complex projects, effectively honing his design and project management skills before establishing a group of independent companies in 2015. This included an interior design practice, A.W.A Design (Interior), a civil engineering firm, EPM Consultants Pte Ltd (Civil Engineering) and a bespoke furniture company, Roomful Pte Ltd.
Today, Allan has rejoined the DPA group of companies and was promoted to director at DP Design.
He holds that excellent design has the capacity to shape the human experience, connect people to places and is never linear in expression. Harnessing his extensive expertise in a wide range of projects over the past 17 years, his experience informs his interdisciplinary design approach. It enables him to employ design strategies across typologies adroitly. The design outcomes, whether for an office space or a hospitality development, are places of delight, crafted in response to their genius loci and end-user needs.
His body of works, to date, include The Exchange TRX in Malaysia and Lotte Duty Free Stores at Changi Airport, which boldly integrates placemaking designs, technology and biophilic design elements to bring a differentiated retail experience; as well as MBS award winning Verdant Workplace and The Work Suite and several agency’s offices that leverage wellbeing design principles to reshape users’ work environment and redefine their experience; and, the SilverKris Lounge at Perth International Airport for Singapore Airlines which explores context-focused design and wellbeing principles to refresh its brand experience.
