A Legacy of Creative Contribution
Beyond its design excellence, RSP has cultivated a track record of meaningful community engagement. It previously received the Patron of the Arts Award for its partnership with the National Museum of Singapore, where its StoreyLab division helped conceptualise Reunion Café, a welcoming space designed to foster interaction among seniors.
RSP also spearheads the RSP Academy, which hosts international cultural exchanges and workshops for architecture students, nurturing the next generation of socially conscious designers.
Hands-On Help with EPIC Homes
Reinforcing its belief that great design goes hand in hand with positive impact, RSP joined forces with EPIC Homes, a programme by the Singapore Institute of Architects, to help build homes for underserved communities.
