From The Sail to the upcoming Keppel South Beach, award-winning architect Tim Johnson applies urban design to positively impact the lives of people.

Urbane Design

EVERY DISCIPLINE IS elevated by nuance and sophistication. In the canvas of architecture, one truth has been crucial to its essence as a globally impactful multi-faceted, multispeciality industry: the inside matters as much as the outside.

For the duration of his career as an architect and expert on high-rise structures, Tim Johnson, a partner and commercial market leader at the award-winning architecture firm NBBJ, has purposefully employed design to maximise the welfare of the people who engage with the spaces his firm creates. After signing off on The Sail @ Marina Bay in 2008, his next project in Singapore is the 33-storey next-generation smart building Keppel South Central, slated for completion in the fourth quarter of this year.

What about the power of urban design has been the most revelatory to you?
