Banyan Tree Residences

The Banyan Tree residences were built in the early 2000s — sound structure, but twenty years had worn out the systems and finishes: voltage swings, weak water pressure, darkened teak and wet areas that had survived more than one cosmetic refresh. The owner didn't want a touch-up — he wanted the residence back at the level he had once paid for.

We started with an audit: opened control zones, checked the concealed services and produced a defect schedule. Its conclusion was to keep the structure and fully replace the engineering loop — saving twenty-year-old pipe runs made no sense.

Seven months later the owner accepted a residence with a new ground-floor layout, silent air conditioning, stable electrics and a terrace that is once again the heart of the house. He was in Singapore the whole time — the project lived in the digital dashboard.
