Overview

reXtore was engaged by the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Singapore designing and building a highly sustainable pagoda for a community garden in an HDB estate in Bukit Batok, Singapore.

Some interesting features of this sustainable pagoda:

1. The frame is constructed using scaffolding off-cuts and wood from managed forests, ensuring responsible resource utilization. Moreover, the pagoda can be easily dismantled with just a spanner, offering the possibility of repurposing it at the end of its lifecycle.
