Kenny Chia

Characterised by clean, elegant strokes and subtle attention to details, Kenny’s designs are functional yet articulate and delightful. Without excessive embellishments and purposed to last, he delivers thoughtfully crafted spaces that are malleable to the ever-changing needs and demands of their end-users while remaining anchored in their identity and core intent.

And this ability to do so has enabled the success of the spaces that Kenny designs, specifically in retail and residential typologies. Testament to his strong track record of design and delivery excellence is the award-winning Morocco Mall Marrakech and Cradle2Cradle projects. Morocco Mall Marrakech is a stunning one-of-a-kind retail-tainment development that sets high end shopping within a beautifully curated interior that features flora native to Morocco and exquisite locally handmade Berber tiles and artisanal craftwork. Cradle2Cradle was an urban installation created for the sustainability-focused iLight Singapore 2018. Its design concept leveraged Newton’s Cradle to realise an immersive and interactive experience that sought to raise awareness about energy generation and inspire mindset shifts towards more sustainable consumption habits. The projects received Third Award at the 2023 Global Architecture & Design Awards and Best of Category in the 2018 Architecture and Design Award Asia Pacific, respectively.

Presently, Kenny is one of the interior design leads for Plot 18A of the up-and-coming mixed-use lifestyle development in Qatar, the Seef Lusail; where he is overseeing the design conception and delivery of the spaces in its four retail buildings, residential tower and office components.
