Calm Cabin: Making Public Spaces More Inclusive and Accessible
24 May 2026
What kind of chair would suit the wide needs of users in public spaces?
How much stimulation is too much?
What helps someone feel safe when they feel overwhelmed during public commute?
For our Occupational Therapist, Lim Jiayi, these were not simply design decisions. They were questions shaped by the people she cares for every day.
Having worked closely with patients in our hospital including seniors living with cognitive challenges, experiencing emotional distress, and caregivers navigating difficult moments, she understood that calm looks different for everyone. That is why the Calm Cabin was thoughtfully designed with the users and accessibility in mind.
Because care goes beyond treatment. Care means helping people feel safe and confident doing their daily activities.
AMK-THKH is proud to be involved in the design and launch of the Calm Cabin at Bukit Batok bus interchange, a collaboration between Thye Hua Kwan Nursing Home and Tower Transit Singapore
