Case study
Arya Samaj
A heritage hall in Little India, recorded in measurable 3D.
Overview
A century-old community landmark, modelled in three dimensions.
Arya Samaj Singapore has stood on Syed Alwi Road since 1963, continuing a community founded in 1927 and now recognised by the National Heritage Board for its role in Little India's history. This project turns the building into a full 3D photogrammetry model — a record precise enough to support restoration, archiving and future heritage work, not just a photograph.

Creative focus
A building worth preserving digitally, not just visually
With NHB heritage funding already behind murals and a gallery on the site, the building itself deserved the same care. The model captures the hall's facade, proportions and surface detail as data — something the community and future custodians can return to long after the flight.
Visual approach
Full-coverage aerial capture
Overlapping passes across the building's roofline and elevations gather the imagery a photogrammetry mesh needs to hold together.Dense 3D reconstruction
The captured imagery is processed into a textured 3D model that reproduces the hall's true form and dimensions.A record for the archive
The finished model gives Arya Samaj Singapore a measurable, revisitable record of the building to sit alongside its documented history.
