tristan wu / design director
Tristan Wu (M.Arch, NUS) is the founder and Design Director of Craftsmen Studio, an interior and spatial design practice guided by a single principle: form follows clarity. His work seeks tatazumai, the quiet presence that emerges when structure, intention, and restraint are resolved.
Tristan’s recent projects have received the Singapore Good Design Award 2025, multiple IDCS 2024 residential awards, and the SIDA Gold Award 2024 for an exceptional apartment at The Coast, Sentosa. The studio’s work has also been featured by Design Anthology, Leibal, Lookbox Living, SquareRooms, Home & Decor, and CNA Living.
Before founding Craftsmen Studio, Tristan held key roles at ONG&ONG and Genome Architects, contributing to major projects across hospitality, residential, and master planning. Today, he leads the studio with a commitment to craftsmanship beyond aesthetics, designing clear frameworks for living, and spaces that endure.
jaden tan / designer
Jaden Tan is a Designer at Craftsmen Studio, bringing a disciplined blend of design precision and cross-typology architectural experience. His background spans acclaimed hospitality projects at FDAT and high-end residential work with Kuala Lumpur’s Unit One Design, further strengthened through his time at Rekaphosis Interior, where he developed a strong focus on detailed, buildable living environments.
Jaden’s promise was recognised early through a full academic scholarship for his BA(Arch) at Tunku Abdul Rahman University, alongside awards including the Starken AAC Architecture Award (2019) and a Top 5 placement in the PAM Sketching Workshop (2017).
At Craftsmen Studio, Jaden approaches each space with calm rigor, translating intent into clear planning, resolved proportions, and execution-ready detail. Influenced by the spatial restraint of Tadao Ando, the clarity of Tao Lei, and the harmonic order of Frank Lloyd Wright, he contributes to the studio’s pursuit of tatazumai: quiet presence through resolved structure and restraint.
