Get Into The Eco-Zone
How one architect created a green space for himself.

THEODORE CHAN'S 30-YEAR architectural career has been a colourful one - namely, green. He spent much of his time on eco-friendly projects such as Yishun Community Hospital and National University Hospital Medical Centre. Earlier this year, he was conferred a Green Architect title by the Singapore Green Building Council and the Building and Construction Authority.
So when it came to designing his home, "It was only right that I walk the talk," says the senior director at CIAP Architects.
Home is a 3,900 sq ft two-storey plus attic intermediate terrace house in Serangoon Gardens which he shares with his wife Delphine Sng, a potter and artist.
