We create vibrant, distinctive designs focussed on contributing positively to people and cities. We see possibilities. We transform and regenerate spaces to celebrate context, inspire meaningful purpose and create value.
SPARK is a global team of designers and thinkers creating architecture, urbanism, interiors, landscapes, research and branding.
Using the evocation of the studio's name "SPARK"; we have built vibrant, distinctive designs by generating ideas, collaboration, communication and an energy borne out of possibilities
We love people, places and all forms of culture, our open source of inspiration to purposefully transform and regenerate environments.
We have designed at all scales; from handbags, pavilions, residential towers, mixed-use, waterfront destinations, civic buildings to urban planning.
Our award winning projects include Clarke Quay in Singapore, the Shanghai International Cruise Terminal and the Starhill Gallery in Kuala Lumpur. Our Homefarm and BeachHut projects won the Future Experimental Category at the World Architecture Festival in 2015 and 2016. SPARK's residential towers Arte S and MK won the German Design Council's Iconic Awards for 2018 and 2021.
