Ep. 141 [en] Orchestrating Emotions Through Space - Janet Cheung

For Janet Cheung, every space begins with a feeling. Born in Sydney, raised in Hong Kong, and now based in Singapore, she brings a global rhythm to design. As Studio Principal at Peter Silling and Associates, Janet has spent over fifteen years shaping hospitality experiences that move people, from grand hotels and casinos to quiet cocktail bars that hum with intimacy.

To her, design is emotional choreography, a song written in light, texture, and rhythm. A place, she says, should guide you like music does: through arrival and build-up, pause and reveal — each note drawing you closer, not just to the space, but to the people within it.

In this conversation, Janet shares how thoughtful design can help us linger a little longer, build connection, and even heal. From the memories that spaces hold to the universal truths that transcend culture, she reminds us that behind every great interior is a story that stays with you long after you’ve left.
