Design practice focused on innovation & thought leadership in the fields of urban design & architecture with studios in London, Shanghai, & Singapore.

SPARK is known for its creative design-solutions and the way it helps its clients to add value to their projects. Over the last ten years, the work of SPARK has transcended the limitations of region, scale and typology. SPARK’s work ranged from the boutique micro-shop to city-scale urban planning. SPARK’s recently successful work includes the World-Architectural Festival Winner “Home-Farm”, the Ci

tyscape-Asia Best waterfront project “Clarke Quay Redevelopment” and MIPIM Asia’s Best Mixed Use Award Winner “Shanghai International Cruise Terminal”. These SPARK creations reflect a sensitive and tactful response to urban trends，the integration of technology, and the handmade sculpting of architectural space. SPARK’s three studios in London, Singapore and Shanghai are led by founding directors Stephen Pimbley and Lim Wenhui both of whom are engaged in new forms of urban thinking and research driven design, principally in the areas of commercial-repurposing, waterfront regeneration, healthcare, cultural and education facilities. Testament to this are projects such as Beach Hut, Home Farm, Solar Orchid and the award winning Innovative Paddington Place a 70,000 sqm mixed-use development in the heart of London.

As Singapore celebrates SG60, is proud to introduce Bush Stop. It reimagines the everyday bus stops into a green, modular, and restorative urban feature. Developed in collaboration with environmental engineers Cundall, Bush Stop is more than just shelter, it supports biodiversity, cools our streets naturally, and fosters social connection, reflecting Singapore’s commitment to a sustainable, people-centered future.

Stephen Pimbley, SPARK’s Founder, says it best:

“Bush Stop embodies the spirit of SG60. It’s progressive, inclusive, and uniquely Singaporean in its logic.” 🇸🇬

This innovative design proves how even small infrastructure can spark a movement toward sustainable urban living.

Nearly a decade ago, Beach Hut stood as a quiet experiment, reimagining ocean waste as a space for shelter and reflection.

A recent article from The Lancet describes plastic as a “grave, growing, and under-recognised”, since 2016 the plastic crisis has only deepened, shifting from environmental to deeply human.

As we revisit Beach Hut, we ask: what role can architecture play in shifting the narrative?

This is more than a crossing. It is a spatial experience.

Spanning 50 metres across a central canal, SPARK’s connection in Zhengzhou forms the primary pedestrian link between two key plots of a new research and data campus — a project for which the firm also designed the master plan, architecture, and landscape, completed in the first quarter of 2025. More than just infrastructure, this connection is conceived as an elegant connective gesture, uniting east and west with purpose and grace.

Its gentle S-curve plan responds to the offset geometry of the campus layout, offering both practical alignment and a poetic sense of movement. The connection’s tapered form is shaped to convey lightness, with a concealed structural box beam wrapped in a sculptural skin that visually softens its mass. At each end, offset raked concrete columns transfer the load into the canal embankments while allowing the deck to appear as if hovering above the water.

A fully glazed balustrade echoes the soffit’s taper, maximising visual transparency and offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding water landscape. As a result, this connection is not just a crossing, but a spatial experience — a symbol of flow, clarity, and the spirit of innovation at the heart of the campus.

A reminder that museums aren’t just keepers of history but also active participants in our evolving story.

At the heart of Suzhou Qingtai Design Village lies a serene central lake—honouring Suzhou’s water town heritage while anchoring circulation, placemaking, and cultural activity. Framed by six key buildings and inspired by Suzhou gardens and Kyoto’s Zen landscapes, the lake offers ever-changing perspectives, like a living scroll.

Its centrepiece? A landmark venue for the International Design Award—symbolising creativity, movement, and cross-cultural exchange.

Set across 500 acres near Huqiu Wetland Park, Qingtai blends culture and commerce with design studios, hotels, markets, and public spaces, all stitched together by a vibrant tourist loop and garden-inspired landscapes.

Redefining Urban Living in Chittagong

How can a city seamlessly blend modern living, commerce, and community while staying deeply connected to nature?

When we set out to design Green Park, we envisioned it as a place where urban energy meets natural serenity, a development that doesn’t just function but enhances the way people live, work, and connect in Chittagong. At , we believe architecture should do more than shape skylines, it should shape experiences.

Anchored by a vibrant retail podium and crowned by three striking 19-storey towers, Green Park introduces a bold new architectural identity to the Chittagong skyline. Visitors are welcomed by a grand landscaped stairway, framed by cascading water features that bring a sense of calm amidst the city’s energy. At the heart of the design is Bangladesh’s first ETFE canopy, creating a dynamic, illuminated gateway that enhances the al fresco dining and retail experience, enhancing the space both day and night.

With its innovative facade, lush greenery, and seamless integration of nature and urban life, Green Park isn’t just a development, it’s a vision for the future of urban living.

Green Park is taking shape! Stay tuned for the latest updates as construction progresses.
