STUDIO NvS is an architect-led design practice founded in Singapore and experienced across Asia. The directors, Fiona Nixon and Kristian van Schaik, believe that good design should be authentic, experimental, and crafted. Specific to its context but broad in its reach. Essential but evolving. Universal yet unique.
They bring a personal focus to every project, striving to achieve apparent effortlessness through rigorous process and painstaking attention to detail.
