About Us




WHO WE ARE
For over decades now, since 2006, we have opened our doors to like-minded design aficionados who have an innate interest in edgy interior architecture and an affinity for challenging the status quo. We established and continue to build a dedicated community of design renegades who share the philosophy of habitus living, and who are constantly pushing and rethinking design boundaries.
Habitus living is the constant improvisation of an individual’s ‘practical mastery’ of skills, routines, aptitude and behaviours cultivated over time which enables one to choose how he or she encounters, perceives and reacts to a new environment.
Consider how timeless items are salvaged and reinvented in form, or colour or use to bestow renewed purpose within a new space, it is endless train of thought we have carefully cultivated with time. Rooted in our past, therein lies the bedrock of our future, timeless cultivated space.
Be it a home or commercial space, we seek to integrate our design philosophy approach seamlessly into the daily lives of its occupants and to create simple, liveable and well-lit spaces that feel larger than they are. It is about bearing in mind the psychological and emotional outcomes of long-term immersion.
A home may be made of complete new materials, but what good is it if it does not coexist seamlessly with its dwellers? At the end, tidal shifts in preferences may occur, yet what remains is our endearing mission to create tangible relationships between human and space.
Communicating space through design, a symbol we have carried through the years, akin to the stamp of communicative design we leave on each and every blank canvas we encounter.

How we work
We aim to build contemporary homes whose beauty perishes in the delicate touches of minutiae lines and shapes. We tend to collaborate with all our clients so that we can see their ideas through their perspective.
Our main request was to create a home with an organic feel that would complement our existing furniture, accessories, and memorabilia collected over the years. Since this would also be our retirement home, we wanted it to be as senior-friendly as possible. Dess and his team member, Min Khai, made the effort to visit us at our previous home to better understand our needs, which gave us confidence in their sincerity and commitment.
The final outcome met most of our expectations. The new home has a strong organic character with industrial touches that blend well with our aging furniture and eclectic collection. Our preference for cement, steel, and colours was well integrated into the design. We also appreciate the thoughtful inclusion of ceiling-high glass and steel display cabinets, which allow us to display our collectibles without the hassle of constant cleaning. The layout was planned with flexibility in mind, making it easy to reorganize as our needs evolve. Every space was thoughtfully designed for maximum functionality, ensuring a seamless and harmonious connection throughout.
Inevitably, there were some challenges along the way, particularly as the team explored new design approaches instead of relying on tried-and-tested solutions. However, they responded quickly to issues, resolving any hiccups in a timely manner. We also want to acknowledge the efforts of their partners - the steel craft-masters, carpenter, painter and electricians - who were efficient and skilled in their work.
Overall, we are happy with how our new home turned out. Home renovations involve both structural work and creative design, so challenges are inevitable. We appreciate TDC’s artistry and dedication in creating a space that is both personal and functional, with age-friendly features carefully incorporated.
Thank you for helping us create a home we can enjoy for years to come.
Not only did Jine deliver the project on time, but she also ensured that the process was smooth and hassle-free for me. Her meticulous attention to detail and strong coordination with contractors and other necessary individuals meant that I only had to communicate with her throughout the entire process. It has been three months since I moved into my newly renovated home, and I continue to be thrilled with the results.
I cannot thank Jine enough for her dedication and hard work. She truly is an asset to her company, and I am grateful to have had her expertise and guidance throughout this renovation journey. Thank you, Jine, for helping me create my dream home.
Will and Jine were thoughtful and responsive throughout the whole renovation process. As a single home owner, I had to juggle my daily workload whilst managing the renovation decisions and timelines. It was all a breeze and stress-free on my part.
They guided me through every decision from tile selection, furniture planning and electrical appliance purchase. No matter or detail was too small for their consideration.
They specialise in space Optimization and did it magically well for a walk-up.
I can’t praise them enough 🙂
It’s difficult renovating during COVID period as there were manpower shortages but I am very glad that he managed to complete everything for me to move in within 15 weeks! Hacking all walls and reconfiguring the apartment is no mean feat!
The whole renovation was a breeze, as Will had a lot of experience and briefed me on what are the common issues to expect and the options available. Many times when I raised questions about the renovation, he told me it’s already taken care of and he has arranged the workers to solve the problems.
Most importantly he was also able to incorporate the fengshui master’s requirements, my lifestyle and design into the house as I do not want to settle for a cookie-cutter HDB layout.
I highly recommend Will from Three-D Conceptwerke as he is very professional, have unique yet functional design concepts, and their sub-cons’ workmanship are superb.
We had so much fun working with Lance and Will. They were very professional, efficient and full of positive energy! The whole renovation process was very smooth. There were also no major defects after the completion of works and we could move in by our targeted date. We are also very thankful for the post-renovation support given to us. Thank you so much for designing a comfortable, cosy home for us!
The design phase commenced on time and despite some initial adjustments that were required by the drafter, Jine grasped the kind of look we were going for and got the 3D drawings executed nicely.
From the get-go, Jine was on top of her game and efficiently coordinated the project timelines, liaising smoothly with the condo management and engineer to sort out admin matters. She also helped us follow-up with the defects rectification team of our condo, since it's a new condo and their rectification timelines were critical to when we could start our ID work. Despite a 3 week delay from the condo's defects team, Jine got off to a fast start right after they were done and still somehow managed to finish the entire project on time. Just incredible!!
Furthermore, Jine always took time to go onsite and monitor the works quite frequently and constantly kept us updated throughout each phase of execution. Moreover, she really cares about her projects and it clearly shows because she takes the extra mile to help her clients, such as when she took personal time to help us shop and provide opinion on furniture and staging.
Of course, there are always some issues during renovation that come up but Jine patiently explained the issues and more importantly, always focused positively on how to resolve the issues even when we ourselves got agitated or nervous. She was always respectful, kind and polite in her communications. For us newbies, this communication style really made the process very smooth and enjoyable. Also, she was very honest in her dealings and always made efforts to save us money where possible- we were surprised when we ended up coming out a bit lower than our projected budget in the end (which rarely happens with such projects).
We are so very happy with the final outcome and we love the way our unit looks. We are very grateful to Jine for her efforts and hardwork on our project over the last few months- it was a delight and we would strongly recommend others to work with her too! Thanks a lot, Jine!
Nothing much was given to Mr Chew except we are living on the ground floor.
😱 Our main concern are pests, storage and minimize sharp corners of the interior walls. We leave the 🪅 creativity to him.
During our journey with Mr Chew, he will never say ❌️ NO ❌️ but he will say: “I will think about it”. Ha! If we claimed that everything is a bed of roses, we will be lying. Hence, understand the gist of communication 📞, a lot of 📚 brainstorming, meaningful discussions and not forgetting that he studied our lifestyles, a home is beautifully crafted ~ 🎎 Straits Eclectic style.
Mr Chew mentioned that his inspiration came from the vanity room 💄. Ha!
What I love💝 most about the house for the past few months of stay? The walkabout (roundabout) or rather the Heart of the House. I called it, Circle of Love. Why? Mr Chew’s intention is the “walkabout” is to allow the wind flow around our tiny fortress. To me, if there is an obstruction, I can use another path to my destination thus no frustration will be arise within the house.
When checked with my 🤭 husband about how he feels about the house? “No Horse 🦄 Run” (in Hokkien) – Beyond comparison, “See Beh Swee 👍🏻” (in Hokkien) – very beautiful or rather the house is like a Green Hornet – small fortress 🏡 yet creating a huge 👊🏻 PUNCH.
Comment from the Owner’s Agent – “🙈 Bio Jin Chu” (in hokkien) – unable to recognise the house. Be it...old interior and exterior.
Keep up the 👏🏼👏🏼 GOOD job, Three-D Conceptwerke. 🙏🏻Thank you 🌟 Mr Chew for your ❤️ kind patience and deep/well thought out design, a HOME is blossomed and 🌟 Mr Terence Soh for your ensuring the silky smooth workflow.
Will not upload any picture. Chat with Mr Chew if you are curious.. 😝
Our first experience was alright. There was some glitches (uneven flooring and stained floor post reno) as with all renos, but these issues were eventually resolved to the best of their ability. As it was our first and only Reno then, I would say that the Reno experience was ok. After living in the home for many years, we actually find that the design was highly practical and very comfortable to live in.
For our second home, we explored threeD and other IDs, went for a few rounds of exploratory discussions to see who we are comfortable with , and which design proposal we like better. In the end, we still chose ThreeD and mainly because of Serene and Lance, the IDs assigned to our project.
Serene and Lance are fantastic and very patient in understanding our needs and she is able to come up with design to balance my husband, mine and even my kids’ needs. Among all the design proposals we reviewed, hers is most practical, creative in resolving layout issues and full of common sense, without compromising the look. Common sense is a very important trait for an ID as common folks, like us, do not know what to look out for. She has really helped us in resolving most issues and even unforeseeable issues with her design advice. Even if she doesn’t have the answers immediately, she is committed to take time to find a solution for it.
After several months in our house, my family and I are happy, loving it and comfortable. The design did work for us practically.
