Kaizen Architecture

Melvin Keng’s philosophy on architecture, termed “Kaizen Architecture,” embodies a commitment to continual improvement and innovation in the field. Grounded in fundamental principles such as scale, form, proportion, and composition, his approach seeks to challenge conventional architectural norms and perceptions.

Central to Kaizen Architecture is the notion of creating spaces that not only serve their intended functions but also provoke thought, inspire dialogue, and evoke emotional responses. By incorporating spatial, programmatic, and material ironies, Melvin aims to stimulate conversations and leave a lasting impact on contemporary life.

Having been mentored by renowned architect Ar. Rene Tan, Melvin has accumulated a wealth of experience and expertise, particularly in luxury housing and residential developments. This background has equipped him with the skills necessary to push the boundaries of traditional architectural practice.

Melvin’s vision extends beyond mere space-making; he sees architecture as a means to integrate art, culture, branding, and digital media. Embracing the era of digital disruption, he explores how technology can be harnessed to enhance architectural design and user experience.

In his pursuit of innovation, Melvin also finds inspiration in his personal interests, such as collecting limited edition sneakers. This eclectic blend of influences informs his creative process and fuels his passion for pushing the boundaries of architectural design.
