Jason Pomeroy is an architect, academic,[1][2] author[3][4][5][6] and television presenter[7] born in the United Kingdom to a British father and a Malaysian mother.[8][9][10] His interests in sustainable design has led him to design energy-efficient buildings,[11] districts and cities.[12][13][14] He has presented television programmes for Channel NewsAsia, and has published four books.[6][15][16][17][18][19] He is the founder of sustainable design firm Pomeroy Studio and sustainable educator Pomeroy Academy.[20]
Life
Pomeroy studied at the Canterbury School of Architecture,[21][22] took a master's degree at the University of Cambridge, and a PhD from the University of Westminster[23] with a thesis titled ‘Skycourts and skygardens: towards a vertical urban theory’.[24]
He teaches at James Cook University in Singapore at the Università Iuav di Venezia in Italy, at the University of Nottingham and the University of Cambridge[1] in the United Kingdom.[23]
Projects
Pomeroy designed an zero-energy prototype house for Sime Darby Property in Malaysia, which used electricity generated by solar panels and rainwater collected from the roof amongst other green technologies.[25] This project, the Idea House, was partly based on the traditional Malay kampong, and was built in 2010.[13][8] In 2011 the design received a Green Mark Platinum rating from the Building and Construction Authority.[26]
Another ecologically-designed 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.[8][14][27][28] In 2014 the design received a Green Mark Platinum rating from the Building and Construction Authority.[8]
Pomeroy designed the Lexis hibiscus in Port Dickson, Malaysia,[11] listed by the Guinness World of Records as the largest over water villa in a single resort in the world.[29] The 522 modular villas created the shape of the Hibiscus (the National flower of Malaysia) and paved the way to later research which culminated in his book, Pod off Grid: explorations into low-energy waterborne communities[5] and TV series, Futuropolis for Channel News Asia.[30]
Television
Pomeroy presented seasons 1 and 2 of City Time Traveller, an architecture travel series, for Channel NewsAsia in 2014 and 2015.[31][32] Also in 2015, he presented City Redesign, a four-part documentary on the architecture of Singapore, for the same channel.[33] His eight-part series on smart cities, Smart Cities 2.0, was shown in 2017.[18][34] He has also featured in short and long format documentaries for BBC,[35] CNBC,[36] and National Geographic.[37]

Pomeroy has written three books:
- Idea House: Future Tropical Living Today (ORO Editions, 2011),[38][18]
- The Skycourt and skygarden: greening the urban habitat (Routledge, 2014) [31]
- Pod Off-Grid: Explorations Into Low-Energy Waterborne Communities ( ORO Editions, 2016) [39][40]
