Life as an Afternaut

Many people might have misconceptions about a team of young people working on big projects, but at Afternaut, we’re proud to say that we use this to our advantage. We call ourselves space explorers, and the spaces we explore are our communities, which we’re constantly looking to improve. As a young company, we’re quick on our feet, resourceful, and adapt swiftly.

Take flight with Afternaut - Meet Berlin and Zhe Wei

Berlin Lee, Zhe Wei Chong and Kokyong Chew came together to establish Afternaut back in 2017, when Formwerkz realised it needed to expand its scope of capabilities to include emerging design disciplines.

Interview with Gwen Tan, our Design Principal

Many projects are great in different ways and I never refer to one being the “greatest” as maybe the best has yet to come. We always challenge ourselves to do better and find new ways to solve old problems. In architecture school, we were taught to question the status quo, an important skill set that will serve designers well.
