Projects

Pomeroy designed an energy-efficient house for Sime Darby Property in Malaysia, which used electricity generated by solar panels and rainwater collected from the roof amongst other green technologies.[12] This project, the Idea House, was partly based on the traditional Malay kampong, and was built in 2010. In 2011 the design received a Green Mark Platinum rating from the Building and Construction Authority.[13]

Another ecologicallydesigned house was built in Bukit Timah, in Singapore. "B House" drew on the architecture of colonial-era black-and-white bungalows. It used the same principles of solar power and water management as the Idea House was designed to remain cool without air-conditioning and was plus-energy.[14] In 2014 the design received a Green Mark Platinum rating from the Building and Construction Authority.

Pomeroy presented seasons 1 and 2 of City Time Traveller, an architecture travel series, for Channel NewsAsia in 2014 and 2015.[15] [16] Also in 2015, he presented City Redesign, a four-part documentary on the architecture of Singapore, for the same channel.[17] His eight-part series on smart cities, Smart Cities 2.0, was shown in 2017.[18] [19] He has also featured in short and long format documentaries for BBC,[20] CNBC,[21] and National Geographic.
