This strategic move not only strengthens and widens The Oval Partnership’s sphere of influence across Asia — alongside its offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing and London — but presents a wealth of new opportunities from which we can grow and deliver our unique programme of open city concepts and sustainable neighbourhood strategies in Singapore.
At the helm in Singapore are Oliver Lopion and Nik Pase, both highly accomplished architects with 40 years’ experience accumulated between them, across diverse project sectors and cultural contexts. They contribute a plethora of proven capabilities to The Oval Partnership family, sharing the same values and bringing together that key combination of strong leadership qualities and boundless creative energy.
Located in the flourishing cultural quarter of Armenian Street, there are few more evocative Singapore districts The Oval Partnership could have chosen to base their new office. It is deeply imbued with the architectural heritage and history of Singapore, yet incorporates innovative living and work spaces as well as inspiring boutiques and restaurants. It is the perfect showcase for exemplifying the inclusive approach taken by The Oval Partnership when designing sustainable and resilient communities centred on livable, low-traffic neighbourhoods.
This pivotal expansion into Singapore coincides with the practice marking the 30th anniversary since its founding in Hong Kong back in the early 1990s. The Oval Partnership has already made a mark in South East Asia with award-winning work in Bangkok, Phnom Penh and Singapore. The opening of the Singapore office further cements our vision and bolsters our commitment to our clients and partners across the region.
