About This Project
SSADA GIMBA is a chain Korean restaurant located at Lentor Modern, with a total area of approximately 1,400 sq ft.
The brand operates under established design and brand guidelines, which needed to be strictly observed during design development and execution.
R&S Construction & Design was appointed to deliver a full turnkey solution, covering the entire process from design coordination to construction, finishing, and provision of loose furniture.
The client’s primary objective was clear: maximum peace of mind.
Specifically, the client required:
- Full compliance with brand design standards.
- Efficient customer flow planning and seating optimisation.
- Minimal involvement in day-to-day coordination.
- Seamless integration of design input from the Korea headquarters.
- A single point of responsibility for design, construction, and furnishing.
Our Approach
To meet the client’s expectations, R&S implemented a highly coordinated and hands-on management approach:
Brand-Guideline–Driven Design Coordination
We aligned spatial planning, finishes, and detailing with the brand’s design standards while ensuring local compliance and operational efficiency for the Singapore market.
Turnkey Scope with Single Accountability
R&S managed all aspects of the project—including loose furniture—so the client could focus on business operations rather than coordination between multiple vendors.
Multi-Party Design Alignment
With design input coming from Korea, we acted as the central coordinator, translating overseas requirements into locally compliant solutions and aligning them with landlord and authority expectations.
Intensive Pre-Construction Site and Stakeholder Coordination
Our team conducted frequent site visits and held repeated coordination sessions with the client and mall management to confirm site conditions, construction constraints, and approval requirements before works commenced—minimising risks during execution.
