Metre Architects
The meanings of “metre” range from the quantifiable (a unit of measure), to the perceptual (rhythm in poetry and music), a spectrum of content that is also embodied by architecture. The Chinese word for “metre” has the same pronunciation as “rice”, and the inclusion of the rice symbol in the logo “※” of Asian origin signifies the context of the practice. Since its inception in January 2018, Metre Architects has been on a constant search for spatial patterns that renew its understanding of function and aesthetics, such as the design for the Gradient Space project, which won several awards, including an Honourable Mention in the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) Architectural Design Awards, the most prestigious award implemented by SIA to promote design excellence.
