Pomeroy Studio is a Singapore-based urbanism, architecture, design and research firm widely seen as being at the forefront of the sustainable built environment. The studio was founded by Professor Jason Pomeroy in 2012. The Studio’s process of ‘Evidence – Based Interdisciplinary Sustainable Design’, or E-BISD for short, has sought to both refine and redefine sustainable built environments by embracing the preservation of space, culture and the selective use of technological innovation as part of the creative process.
Sustainable projects include: B House (2016) – the first operational carbon negative house in Singapore; Gramercy Sky Park (2012) – the tallest residential skypark in the Philippines; Newpark (2015), a new township seeking zero carbon status in Malaysia; and Century City (2015) – a commercial district that includes Trump Tower Manila, the Philippines. The Studio underpins its commercial projects by three fields of research: Towards Zero Energy Development; Greening The Urban Habitat and A Vertical Urban Theory.
E-BISD is an acronym for Evidence-Based Interdisciplinary Sustainable Design – a process that stems from Pomeroy’s research at Cambridge, his experience of working with the Japanese multi-disciplinary architecture, engineering, construction and development corporation, Kajima; and the design and execution of the Idea House – the first zero carbon house in Asia. Pomeroy asserts that a sustainable product (be that a city, a landscape, a building, or an interior) can only be created if there is a sustainable process.
Pomeroy has argued that the often subjective creative design process can become more tangible and objective through rigorous testing based on fact and reason in order to reduce waste and enhance the performance of the built environment. The ‘evidence-based’ designs are the product of an interdisciplinary team effort, comprising design specialists (which include architects, masterplanners, landscape designers, interior designers, graphic designers, sustainability consultants and theorists), supported by academics with research and quantitative analysis skills, a respect for culture, the community, the environment and the commercial considerations.
The Studio includes spatial, cultural and technological parameters as three further spheres of consideration, in addition to social, economic and environmental parameters (commonly referred to as the ‘triple bottom line’), to create what the studio calls ‘the 6 parameters of sustainable design’ as part of their design decision-making.
