GATEWAY THEATRE,
Singapore

Situated in the heart of Bukit Merah, the 9-storey Gateway Theatre is a multi-performance venue containing a vast 1,500-seat auditorium, a sixth-storey roof garden, and a soaring double-volumed black box theatre.

The façade features prominently in the revamped design, where pockets of interwoven landscaped sky gardens cascades to the ground level. Sections of the existing building were retained, and secondary green ‘relief’ spaces were inserted into an otherwise uniform façade to create a sense of porosity that invites community engagement and participation.
