Award-winning firm, Spark Architects believes in a fresh approach to urban thinking to create inspirational designs that make a positive contribution to the world around us. With studios in Singapore, Shanghai, and London, the practice offers a diverse range of services, from architecture, urbanism and interior design, to landscape design, research, and branding.
Spark prides itself on designing socially- and environmentally- sensitive solutions. One such project Home Farm, explores the next generation of retirement housing. It addresses issues affecting cities in Southeast Asia, such as aging population and reliance on food importance, by combining a community of homes and health facilities with a vertical urban farm. It won the Future Experimental Category at the World Architecture Festival in 2015, and subsequently in 2016, with a Beach Hut project that uses recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a nonbiodegradable plastic, to construct a series of elevated beach huts resembling giant pine cones in Singapore. Spark Architects partner,
Lim Wenhui, was part of the team that helped the studio clinch these two prestigious titles, along with numerous other award-winning and internationally-lauded projects that span across Asia, Europe and the Middle East, including the Fai-Fah in Bangkok, nominated for the Aga Khan Award, and the Starhill Gallery in Kuala Lumpur, which bagged the German Design Council’s Architect of the Year Award in 2014.
Having worked with the studio for over 12 years, the winner of the Singapore Women’s Weekly Great Women of our Time Award (Design and Style Category) 2016 has been involved with most of its major national and international portfolio and has led several key mixed-use projects.
