Trecia Lim grew up in Singapore in the 1980s, in one of the last few kampungs in Changi, amidst the backdrop of a developing cosmopolitan country. She remembers the strong “Kampung Spirit” or “Gotong Royong” among the families living next to hers. At the age of 19, she started backpacking around the world, including many parts of Asia. She was very touched by the resilience of the people she came across as they battled their day-to-day hardships.

 

During her more than 10 years in the design and construction field in the corporate sector in Singapore and Australia, Trecia formed the belief that design goes beyond aesthetics and that a thoughtful and sensible design process can address critical social needs. In 2017, this design philosophy and her memories of the underprivileged communities she had met led her to embark on a journey to use architecture as a tool to improve human lives.
