“Excellent ideas, execution and project management. Jing Zhi understood our lifestyle, needs and budget and was able to propose practical yet beautifully executed ideas that exceeded our expectations. For example, knowing that we like to entertain, he proposed an outdoor dining area and garden, which is now one of our favourite areas of the house. He turned our dream house into a reality!”

“TA.LE did the architectural and internal design of this new house after spending lots of time to understand our requirements. It's both innovative and practical. New materials were used in a completely integrated approach with very satisfying results. I've no hesitation in recommending this firm.”
Park + Associates
Architects & Building Designers.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 February 2016
“Park+Associates completed my house. From the first meeting with their top man Mr Park and Director Christina Thean to the completion after 1.5 years, the team has been professional. There were unexpected issues on site ranging from URA, the neighbours, some vendors, but each and every time, the Park+A were always there to review, clarify, and resolve the problems on a timely but yet commendable basis. Christina Thean would also spend the time to review the work on-site. The timber tiles were laid but were completely rejected as the colour tone was not the selected original colour. She also spend the time to assist with the selection of the furniture and its colour combination although this was not necessarily the scope of her responsibility. The follow up after the completion of house is commendable as any defects and faults were communicated with the main contractor. Till to-date, after one year of staying at the "Greja House", we are are most happy to have Park+Associates as our Architect.”

An architect or building designer can transform your needs and desires into a visual concept and habitable structure. They will help you determine what is possible in terms of your land and the budget you have, and then work with you to plan a home design that best caters to your lifestyle.

Architects and building designers have an extensive knowledge of architectural designs and trends, as well as construction methods and building materials, and are well versed in seeing the ‘bigger picture’. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, their scope of work can span project management and sustainable design for your renovation, to the selection of furniture and finishes. So whether you’re building from scratch, adding an extension or renovating your home, engage an architect or building designer to make your dream home a reality.

How do I find the best architect for my home design project?


It is best to hire a home architect or building designer who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. The architect is often the first person you will hire for your project. If necessary, they might also help you select and hire general contractors, which can include builders, engineers and landscape architects. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process.

As far as the process goes, the architecture firm that you choose will start with concept drawings and finish with construction drawings and documents. Some firms even design with 3D renderings and videos, but that should not be assumed. One of the most important duties of an architect is project management – that is, to serve as managers and supervise most aspects of construction, as well as facilitate communication between all other contractors.

It is very important to hire the right professional for the job. Remember that the most well-known or established architect or building designer might not provide the best architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project. Research and ask people whose work you like for recommendations. It's important to have an idea of the style of architecture you prefer, as well as the amount you would like to spend. Architects are natural problem solvers. They will assess the entire situation and help you to solve your problems too. Don't settle for a single company too early. Call and interview a few. Make sure that you feel like your personalities will mesh well and that you like their professional perspective.

Questions to ask prospective architects and building designers:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with
  • your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring general contractors and renovation contractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
