White Jacket Office

“Some people go to places for the pictures. I go to places for the people.”
They say good things are worth waiting for, and we couldn’t agree more. After 3 years of relentless searches, we have finally settled down in our newly renovated studio!
True to White Jacket’s design vocabulary, we envisioned a studio with an atmospheric, soulful environment. This led us to create a series of interconnected and layered spaces, fostering a sense of intrigue and wonder among visitors as they move through each room. Located in a former warehouse with an 80’s vibe, the office takes a number of references from our founder, Patricia’s childhood memories in Malaysia and Singapore.
We look forward to welcoming you to visit our studio.

Influenced by our office locale, the artwork is an abstraction of the Clarke Quay & Boat Quay riverside steps. The organic charcoal rock form mimics the imagery of the steps fading into the water’s edge, while also capturing the ripples in the water. The shards are inspired by the terrazzo flooring found in our entrance and washroom, while the colour mirrors the shades used in the bumboats that drift through the Singapore River.

Breaking from the confines of a standard office, Patricia saw the potential for something greater and leveraged her fervent appreciation of the arts by creating an atelier space where art and community converge – a dynamic space that serves to inspire and cultivate creativity and collaboration. As such, one of the key highlights of the studio is the creation of the atelier.
With an emphasis on supporting artistic growth, the studio has ambitious initiatives in progress, such as an upcoming artist residency program and regular exhibitions scheduled every three months.
