Facial, Skincare Beauty
As Project Manager at Positive Design, I managed the renovation and delivery of beauty retail environments for SK‑II and Astalift. My role covered technical coordination, quotations, production, contractor management, authority submissions, site supervision, quality control and final handover.
Although the projects were completed in different retail environments, both required close attention to brand consistency, customer experience, lighting, product presentation and construction quality.
SK‑II TR Renovations
Changi Airport Terminals 1, 2 & 4
I managed the renovation of SK‑II travel retail counters across Changi Airport Terminals 1, 2 and 4. The counters shared a consistent brand identity but had to be adapted to different site layouts, existing services and operational requirements.
Working closely with SK‑II, Shilla, Changi Airport Group, fabricators and specialist contractors, I coordinated the projects from technical review and production through airport submissions, overnight installation, inspection and handover.
The renovation works included the dismantling of existing fixtures, hoarding installation, electrical modifications, floor reinstatement, backwall and gondola installation, integrated lighting, digital displays and final visual-merchandising arrangements.
Delivering a Consistent Brand Experience
Across all three terminals, the objective was to maintain a recognisable SK‑II experience while responding to the individual conditions of each site.
The rollout required coordination between multiple stakeholders, strict airport working procedures and detailed quality control. Through drawing reviews, factory checks, site supervision and defect management, I helped translate the brand’s design intent into completed retail environments ready for operation.
Terminal 1 Central Store
The T1 Central Store comprised a feature backwall, a dedicated LXP display and two curved gondolas arranged around the central retail space.
The project required close coordination of the floor electrical supply, display lighting, digital content and storage components. As the surrounding retail environment remained operational, the works were completed in planned overnight phases while maintaining the required lease-line and circulation clearances.
Following installation, I conducted detailed inspections and coordinated the rectification of lighting, acrylic, metal trims, access panels and display components before the final handover.
Terminal 2 Central Store
The T2 counter included a backwall, two gondolas, a freestanding display unit and a dedicated POS counter. The different fixture types required careful coordination of lighting drivers, electrical outlets, storage access and visual-merchandising components.
I coordinated the dismantling of the previous counter, installation of the new fixtures and final positioning of the product displays. Detailed quality checks were carried out on the acrylic components, illuminated displays, finishes and functional storage areas before completion.

Terminal 4 Central Store
The T4 renovation introduced a new backwall and two freestanding gondolas, anchored by a large-format digital display and illuminated product shelves.
The new layout created a more open and prominent brand presence within the surrounding beauty retail environment. I managed the site coordination, installation sequence, electrical integration and rectification process, ensuring that the completed counter aligned with both SK‑II’s design standards and the airport’s operational requirements.

Astalift Store Renovation
Plaza Singapura
The Astalift project involved the complete fit-out of a 424 sq ft beauty and skincare boutique at Plaza Singapura.
Unlike the open travel retail counters developed for SK‑II, Astalift was designed as an enclosed customer journey comprising a shopfront, product-display and consultation area, POS counter, best-seller feature, two facial-treatment rooms and a supporting storage area.

I coordinated the project across design development, technical submissions, production and construction. The scope included partitions, flooring, ceilings, electrical works, lighting, air-conditioning, sprinklers, emergency systems, CCTV, signage and custom retail fixtures.
Particular attention was given to the relationship between the front-of-house retail experience and the private treatment areas behind it. The curved product-display wall, illuminated brand elements and red feature structures established a clear Astalift identity, while the treatment rooms provided a quieter and more functional environment for personalised services.
Throughout the renovation, I worked with the client, mall management, consultants, fabricators and contractors to resolve technical requirements, monitor site progress and maintain the quality of the final finishes. The project was completed through coordinated inspections, defect rectification and handover.
