新加坡中华总商会（SCCCI）成立于1906年，是享有国际声誉的商业组织，也是新加坡华人商业社区的最高机构。建筑师通过对其总部进行翻新，尊重了其传统文化，并融入了现代设计元素，展现出了这个组织的历史底蕴。
Established in 1906, the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI) is an internationally renowned business organization and the apex body of the Chinese business community in Singapore. With such a rich history, it is only fitting that the SCCCI's headquarters undergo a renovation that honours its heritage while incorporating modern design elements.
SCDA事务所在这个近期刚完工的翻新项目中，成功地实现了这种微妙的平衡。新的后方建筑采用凹面陶瓷贴膜玻璃幕墙，与建筑物历史悠久的正面形成鲜明的对比。、
The recent renovation by SCDA Architects successfully achieved this delicate balance. The new rear block, featuring a concave fritted glass façade, provides a striking contrast to the historic frontage of the building.
环绕新建筑的弯曲陶瓷釉点玻璃由铝型材鳍片分隔，创造了建筑的宣言性语言，在新加坡的天际线中脱颖而出。凹面形状还追随白天的不同时间反射和折射光线，产生动态视觉效果。
Wrapping around the new addition, the curved ceramic fritted glass, divided by extruded aluminium fins, creates an architectural statement that stands out in Singapore’s skyline. The concave shape also creates a dynamic visual effect as the glass reflects and refracts light throughout the day.
新加坡中华总商会大堂空间是建筑师对细节和文化符号的敏感性的证明。通过转换现有的混凝土结构柱，创造了一个无柱大堂空间，为游客提供了更加宽敞和无缝的区域。大堂按照风水原则设计，引用“财富之雨”的比喻来促进新加坡企业的繁荣和成功。
The grand lobby space of the Singapore Chinese Chambers of Commerce building is a testament to the architects' attention to detail and sensitivity to cultural symbolism. The renovation created a column-free lobby space by transferring the existing concrete columns, providing visitors with a more spacious and seamless area to enjoy. The lobby is designed according to Feng Shui principles, incorporating the metaphor of a "shower of wealth" to promote prosperity and success for businesses in Singapore.
大堂的天花板轮廓源于古代中国的金元宝，这是财富和繁荣的象征。金元宝的圆形形状在天花板设计中得到了体现，其由一系列从空间中心向外辐射的同心圆组成。灯具被精心地放置以创造出温馨宜人的氛围，材料和饰面的选择则反映了建筑的传统和宏伟。
The lobby's ceiling profile is derived from the ancient Chinese gold teal coin, a symbol of wealth and prosperity. The circular shape of the coin is reflected in the ceiling design, which features a series of concentric circles that radiate outwards from the centre of the space. The lighting fixtures are strategically placed to create a warm and welcoming ambience, while the choice of materials and finishes reflects the building's heritage and grandeur.
总的来说， SCDA事务所对新加坡中华总商会的翻新在尊重建筑丰富历史和融入现代设计元素之间取得了完美的平衡。凹面釉点玻璃幕墙和大堂空间的增加，为这座建筑带来了新的活力。这个建筑让人们更深入地了解SCCCI的历史和文化，同时也为新加坡的城市天际线带来了一道独特的风景线。
Overall, SCDA Architects' renovation of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry building strikes the perfect balance between honouring the building's rich history and incorporating modern design elements. The addition of the concave frit glass façade and the grand lobby space.
