Spark Architects

Spark (stylised as SPARK) is a design studio based in Singapore and Shanghai.

History

In 2003, CapitaLand hired British architectural firm Alsop Architects to revamp Clarke Quay.[1] Stephen Pimbley set up Alsop Architects's Asia studios to handle the Clarke Quay redevelopment. The redevelopment included an overhaul of shophouse facades, streetscapes, and riverfront dining areas.[2]

In 2006, Pimbley and Wenhui Lim co-founded Spark from Alsop Architects's Asia studios.[2]

In 2014, Spark designed floating hawker centres in Singapore.[3]

In 2015, Spark won the Experimental – Future Projects category at the World Architecture Festival with its Homefarm, a conceptual proposal for the next generation of urban retirement housing.[4]

In 2016, Spark won the Experimental – Future Projects category at the World Architecture Festival with its Spark Beach Hut, a pine cone-shaped structure, which is made of plastic waste thrown into the ocean.[5]
