No Sense Studio's Nos. 9: A Singapore Apartment as Raw Frame

In 2026, No Sense Studio, based in Singapore, finalized Nos. 9, a residential development that emphasizes restraint in its design approach. The apartments incorporate materials such as raw plywood, concrete panels, industrial conduits, terracotta, and mosaic tiles. The kitchen features custom cabinetry that angles inward, drawing inspiration from mid-century shopfitting and Japanese storefronts to improve sightlines. Wet areas are adorned with white square tiles accented by blue grouting and a porthole door, while a vibrant shower zone is finished in rich orange mosaic tiles. The bedrooms include a raw plywood platform bed and modular shelving. This project aligns with the architectural focus on raw materials seen in Extrarradio Estudio's Casa Ballenero and Not a Studio's Monterols flat.
