Most of us could not have predicted what 2020 would bring. The year saw tremendous changes in our work and social living - a huge shift towards a new normal where most are suffering in the entire industries and economics. But it also gave us a chance to re-think about human living radically and to redefine the next normal architecturally.
Looking at my own situation at my small firm, KYA, 2020 has been a test of how resilient and future-proof we are especially a young start-up like us. Things are slowing down from an originally fast paced world and some are even facing insurmountable challenges. Like many in our industry, we saw some projects put on pause because of the economic uncertainty, but also many new opportunities arising as it is now amid another evolution.
After many months of locked down and all slow progresses in 2020, we are now going into 2021 with big ambitions and some exciting changes/challenges:
Three private residences (bungalows) were completed and handed over in 2020.
Planning permission for the slow-paced resort project was finally back in progress.
A corporate tower work in progress.
And, we are continuing with our houses designs…
