Sentosa Sustainability Project
Creative Reuse in Public Installations
Project Highlights
The Sentosa Sustainability Project focused on eco-conscious design and creative material reuse in public spaces. In support of Sentosa Development Corporation’s carbon-neutral goals, OneMakerGroup repurposed decorative materials including red, blue, and gold Christmas ornaments from previous displays. This approach reduced material waste, lowered the project’s carbon footprint, and demonstrated circular design principles in action.
Alignment with Sentosa's Sustainability Initiatives
- Decarbonization and Waste Reduction:
By focusing on material reuse, the project supports Sentosa's goal of decarbonization and closing the waste loop, contributing to the island's ambition of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. - Integrative Planning and Design:
The project's site-specific approach aligns with Sentosa's emphasis on integrative planning, ensuring that developments enhance and harmonize with the island's natural and built environments. - Sustainable Leisure Activities:
By creating environmentally friendly public installations, the project enhances Sentosa's offerings of sustainable travel and leisure activities, providing guests with eco-conscious experiences.
Impact
- Environmental Stewardship:
Repurposing existing decorative materials reduced waste, limited new production, and supported resource conservation and carbon reduction efforts. - Sustainable Design in Practice:
Creative reuse, AR-assisted planning, and modular construction came together to deliver visually impactful installations with reduced environmental footprint—setting a precedent for future public space projects. - Contribution to Decarbonisation Goals:
Efficient material use and streamlined logistics helped lower transport and production emissions, aligning with Sentosa’s target to become carbon-neutral by 2030. - Public Awareness Through Design:
Highly visible public installations demonstrated that festive, large-scale design can be both engaging and eco-conscious, encouraging sustainability awareness among visitors. - Collaborative Impact:
The partnership between Sentosa Development Corporation and OneMakerGroup highlights the value of public–private collaboration in advancing sustainable innovation.
