10 Best Architecture Firms in Singapore (2026)

An architecture firm designs a building from first principles and takes responsibility for the authority submission, which is a different job from an interior designer's fit-out or a contractor's renovation quote. Singapore's practices range from large multidisciplinary firms behind institutions and skylines to boutique studios built around one architect's houses. This guide profiles ten established, currently operating practices verified on their own websites, spanning landed homes, commercial and hospitality work, heritage conservation and sustainability-led design. Each entry notes what the firm actually builds and any professional recognition attributed to its own site or independent sources, so you can shortlist a practice suited to your project rather than a renovation package.

WOHA is an architecture and urban design practice founded in 1994 by Wong Mun Summ and Richard Hassell, known for tropical high-rise work that folds greenery, natural ventilation and public space into dense sites. Its own site foregrounds hospitality and civic projects such as Oasia Hotel Downtown, Parkroyal Collection Pickering and Kampung Admiralty, a mixed eldercare and community hub that Singapore's President's Design Award named Design of the Year. Independent sources also credit the practice with the Aga Khan Award for Architecture and a World Architecture Festival World Building of the Year win. The scale here is institutional, hospitality and large mixed-use rather than a single house, so it suits a developer or civic brief more than a private residential renovation.

DP Architects is one of Singapore's largest architecture practices, founded in 1967 and now describing itself as a multidisciplinary group spanning architecture, urban planning, engineering, interior and landscape design across a global office network. Its own site frames recent work around what it calls a regenerative urban future, and its long-running portfolio includes Esplanade Theatres on the Bay, the Singapore Sports Hub and Our Tampines Hub, alongside recent projects such as The Opera Residence and House of Tan Yeok Nee that it lists among its own award coverage. The firm names Angelene Chan as executive chairman on its site. Its scale suits large civic, cultural, healthcare or mixed-use commissions rather than a single landed house, placing it at the institutional end of this list.

RSP traces its roots to 1956, when British architect Raglan Squire founded Raglan Squire & Partners in Singapore; the practice was renamed RSP Architects Planners & Engineers in 1980 and, per independent 2026 coverage, marked 70 years in business this year. It describes itself on its own site as a multidisciplinary architecture and engineering group of around 1,000 staff across offices in several countries, with a portfolio spanning Changi Airport's Terminal 2 extension, Bird Paradise at Mandai, CapitaSpring and NTU's timber-framed Gaia building. Its site states innovation, sustainability and design excellence as core values, and recent projects lean toward Green Mark-rated, low-energy buildings. RSP's scale and engineering depth suit large institutional, transport or mixed-use commissions rather than a private home.

SCDA Architects was established in 1995 by Chan Soo Khian, and its own site says the practice has since grown into interiors, landscape and product design alongside architecture, marking around 30 years of work as of 2025. Its published portfolio runs from private houses such as Cluny Park Residence to hospitality work including the Sanya EDITION and civic projects like Singapore's National Design Centre, with offices reported in Singapore, Shanghai and New York. Independent design-industry profiles credit Chan as the inaugural Singapore President's Design Award Designer of the Year and as a recipient of the SIA-Getz Architecture Prize. SCDA suits a brief that wants one design language carried across a home, a hotel and an interior fit-out rather than a single building type.

RT+Q Architects was founded in 2003 by Rene Tan and TK Quek and works mostly in private housing, from landed bungalows to low- and high-density residential developments, alongside some commercial and exhibition design. Its own site lists a run of Singapore Institute of Architects Design and Merit Awards across the residential low-density and high-density categories between 2019 and 2023, for houses such as House with Verandahs and House of Spice, plus condominium work including Petit Jervois. The practice favours a pared-back, geometric style over ornament, and its founders have also published books documenting their own houses. RT+Q suits an owner planning a new landed home or a ground-up rebuild who wants a design-led, award-recognised architect rather than a renovation contractor.

Park + Associates was established in 1999, and its own site describes expertise across architectural consultancy, master planning, theme park design, interior and landscape design, covering residential, commercial and hospitality briefs rather than one property type. Singapore's President's Design Award named the firm's own Kim Yam Road office Design of the Year in 2015, and a residential project won a Singapore Institute of Architects Architectural Design Award in 2023, per those award bodies' own listings. The firm frames its approach as human-centred and artisan, aiming for buildings shaped closely around site and client rather than a house style applied everywhere. It fits a client who wants one firm across a landed home, a commercial fit-out or a hospitality brief.

ARC Studio Architecture + Urbanism was founded in 1998 by the husband-and-wife team of Khoo Peng Beng and Belinda Huang, and its own site frames the practice around conservation, adaptive reuse and high-density housing rather than single landed homes. Its best-known work is Pinnacle@Duxton, Singapore's tallest public housing project, which its site credits with Singapore's President's Design Award, a CTBUH Best Tall Building award and the World Architecture Festival's Best Residential Building prize. The studio has also curated exhibitions on compact-city living for the Venice Biennale, and its own site extends its portfolio to townships and larger commercial complexes alongside conservation and heritage-linked commissions. ARC Studio suits a brief involving a conservation shophouse, adaptive reuse or higher-density housing rather than a straightforward new bungalow.

ADDP Architects was founded in 1986 and rebranded under its current name in 2011, and its own site describes a master planning, architecture and interior design practice working across residential, commercial, institutional, hospitality, industrial and healthcare sectors. Its published portfolio includes residential developments such as The Tapestry, Park Colonial and Treehouse, the last of which its site says holds a Guinness World Record for its vertical garden, alongside civic and industrial work. The firm's site lists BCA Green Mark certifications, including Platinum awards, and states it has repeatedly been named among Hubexo/BCI Asia's Top 10 Architects in Singapore between 2005 and 2025. ADDP's sector breadth and sustainability certifications suit a larger residential, institutional or commercial project rather than a single landed home.

HYLA Architects is headed by founding principal Han Loke Kwang, and its own site states its strongest experience is in high-end landed residential design, positioning it as a specialist rather than a firm that also runs commercial or hospitality work. The practice's site states it has won a Singapore Institute of Architects Design Award and an Architectural Heritage Award from the Urban Redevelopment Authority, and that a project was selected for the Phaidon Atlas of 21st Century World Architecture. HYLA's site also lists institutional work alongside its housing portfolio, and describes its projects as regularly featured in architecture monographs and magazines internationally. It suits an owner planning a new bungalow or a substantial rebuild who wants a landed-housing specialist with a design-award track record.

Aamer Architects was founded in 1994 by Aamer Taher after he trained at London's Architectural Association School of Architecture, and its own site describes a boutique practice covering Good Class Bungalows, inter-terrace houses, cluster housing, conservation shophouses, high-rise work in Malaysia, and food-and-beverage or clinic interiors. The firm's design language is described on its own site as favouring curves and organic form over strict right angles. Its site also states that Aamer Taher is a former council member of the Singapore Institute of Architects and a former adjunct lecturer at NUS's architecture school. Its scope crosses new-build bungalows, additions to existing landed homes and conservation work, worth shortlisting alongside the more single-focus landed-housing studios covered elsewhere on this list.
