In 1993, Franklin Po returned to his native Singapore after 25 years of rigorous training in the United States. With a vision for the future, his aim was to create a design firm that would transform architectural landscapes across Asia. The result is TierraPOD.
Derived from "Terra," the Latin word for "earth," and "Pod", the incubatorial womb of a seed – to jointly represent "germination from the earth" – TierraPOD focuses on thoughtful design that is both holistic and elegant, yet practical and simple. Faithful to these origins, TierraPOD depends heavily on bringing the rhythms and hues of the earth, and the built environment to life by incorporating natural materials, colors, and sounds into integrated spaces. At the core of Tierra POD's design approach are the people and their communities. A graceful play between active and passive forces helps people connect to their environment harmoniously.
With projects across 12 countries, TierraPOD draws from a growing interdisciplinary pool of talent that includes architects, engineers, designers, and scientists. They offer services focused on holistic integration of the built environment, including architecture, landscape architecture, master-planning, and interior design. Read Less
