"An innovative architectural design is only successful when it is functional to the users, environmentally and ecologically friendly, and is able to withstand the test of time"
Arthur C.S. Kwok

Project Approach
We handle each project with care and respect, incorporating its owner's brief, the end-users' needs and expectations, and exploring full potential of the site. We offer our clients well thought out but viable designs for selection rather than single solutions. Our design team applies a process of self-criticism throughout the course of the project. Proposed building forms and proportions, spatial and circulation relationships, as well as the finishes and details are all placed under scrutiny by each other. Clients' budgetary and time constraints are incorporated as part of the design challenge and we adhere to them with professional respect and discipline. We schedule regular meetings and exchanges of ideas with our clients and consultants, and invariably develop long lasting friendship upon completion of the projects.


Physical and Environmental Integration
We believe it is important to consider an architectural or interior design in its proper context. We challenge ourselves to create buildings that are harmonious with their environment, preserving as much of the natural landscape as possible, with an emphasis of circulatory and spatial relationships between the interior and the exterior. An example of how much we respect ecology is Yong An Park, a major residential development in Singapore. In order to preserve a 200 year-old Banyan tree on the site, we planned the domestic blocks carefully around it in a such way that both man-made structures and nature can co-exist complimentarily.

User-friendly Architectural & Interior Spaces
AKAA is committed to caring and user-friendly architecture and interiors. We strive to design buildings and interiors which can allow the occupants to work, live and play in comfort and harmony

Architectural features and landscape elements are commonly found in our projects. Natural vegetation is an important part of our design and planning vocabulary. Our interiors are well proportioned, flexible, full of natural light, and spatially superior. We believe in the balance of functions and forms in Architecture. Also, our work should keep pace with the increasing demands of society and its respect for ecology.


We respect each particular site, its context, its environment, and its local culture. We are proud to see some of our buildings, completed some 25 years ago, still relevant and enjoyed by their occupants today. The 'Banyan Tree' Yong An Park remains one of Singapore's most prestigious residential properties to date.
