A people-centric and inclusive community hub, Our Tampines Hub (OTH) is a pioneering model of an integrated community, sports and lifestyle hub, purposefully designed through an intense participatory and engagement process with 13 public-sector stakeholders and residents of all ages and interest groups in Tampines. This refreshing concept of integration brings about new dynamics in notions of shared economies, optimisation and productivity, as well as immense opportunities for inclusivity, richness and new synergies in the design of communal and social settings for the Tampines residents.

OTH has been purposefully designed to have multiple community spaces for residents to gather and bond. Borderless and porous, especially on the ground floor, its spaces are designed as a continuation of the surrounding streets, void decks and terraces; inviting residents in from various parts of the site. Open and programmable, the spaces encourage and enable spontaneous activities such as tai-chi, zumba, aerobics, study group discussions and even card games; thus, enlivening the hub.

Housing corelated agencies and their facilities under one roof, OTH testbeds a more collaborative whole-of-government approach where it serves as a one-stop destination that provides for a wide range of user, interest and age groups. This relates back to its core aspiration to be an inclusive meeting and bonding place for the entire Tampines community.
