International System of Units - Prefixes - No.0 || Decimal 1 

Poland 2017

A neat sense of calmness invites you when you first arrive at ACRE’s studio. An oasis on the top floor of a building in the ‘industrial heartlands of Singapore’, ACRE is the design studio founded by T Y Zheng and Jason Song.

T Y was proud to show me around the studio. Lined with tools organized neatly and self-constructed desks, the space is every bit the inspiration pad - design books, magazines, and toys laid out in the sleight precision highlighting the studio’s negative space, you immediately start to feel your inner geek creative churning. But it doesn’t end there.

Perhaps what’s most intriguing is the small but growing plant life section in the studio. I’m given a quick tour of the ‘garden’, with T Y describing the different care methods and the precise watering and lighting requirements of each flora. If you observe from this corner, T Y shared, the sun sets at different angles each year, turning the studio into a spatial sundial.

We’re pretty happy to leave the creative math to the ACRE team, knowing well that someone has surely done the calculations behind the poster that now hangs proudly in our office.

The Units of Measure Poster Calendar is now available on Haystakt.
