25 Best Architecture and Design Firms in Singapore

These annual rankings were last updated on December 19, 2025. Want to see your firm on next year’s list? Continue reading for more on how you can improve your studio’s ranking.

Singapore is often characterized as one of the four “Asian giants.” Albeit a country that has been an independent state for only 58 years — since 1965 — Singapore currently has one of the most powerful economies and construction industries in the world. This 290-square-mile (750-square-kilometer) island is regarded as a hub for cutting-edge design as well as a testing bed for architectural innovation, especially within the context of environmental sustainability and technology. Projects found in the iconic Gardens by the Bay, as well as the most famous airport design in the world, Jewel Changi Airport, are spaces that could have easily emerged from science fiction film sets.

In fact, according to Singapore Design Week Organizers, the country is ‘a nation by design,’ where its architecture places huge emphasis on the quality of life of its inhabitants. Social housing projects, green urban initiatives and cultural amenities are the most popular design briefs that Singaporean architecture firms tackle daily, transforming the country into an extraordinary ecosystem.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in Singapore based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.

How are these architecture firms ranked?

The following ranking has been created according to key statistics that demonstrate each firm’s level of architectural excellence. The following metrics have been accumulated to establish each architecture firm’s ranking, in order of priority:

The number of A+Awards won (2013 to 2025)
The number of A+Awards finalists (2013 to 2025)
The number of projects selected as “Project of the Day” (2009 to 2025)
The number of projects selected as “Featured Project” (2009 to 2025)
The number of projects uploaded to Architizer (2009 to 2025)

Each of these metrics is explained in more detail at the foot of this article. This ranking list will be updated annually, taking into account new achievements of Singapore architecture firms throughout the year.
