Using the evocation of the studio’s name “spark”; Spark Architects produce stimulating, innovative, award-winning buildings and urban environments that generate significant added value for our clients. Spark’s studios have built a large number of award-winning projects throughout Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Their work is influenced by the constant evolution of contemporary life and the influences upon it that require a fresh approach to urban thinking.

Spark’s work ranges in scale from boutique shops, residential, mixed-use waterfronts, and civic buildings to urban planning. Our projects are enjoyable to use, functional, beautiful to look at and easy to understand.

Spark’s design solutions are an inspired socially and environmentally sensitive alchemy of the traditional ingredients of living, working and leisure designed to seamlessly connect society to an inspiring future.

Spark’s award-winning projects include Clarke Quay in Singapore, the Shanghai International Cruise Terminal (MIPIM Asia awards 2011, “best mixed-use development” award), the Starhill Gallery Kuala Lumpur and the Raffles City Projects in Ningbo and Beijing. Spark’s Homefarm and Beachhut projects are the winners of the future experimental category at the World Architecture Festival in 2015 and 2016 respectively.
