ipli architects is led by Principal Yip Yuen Hong, a three-time President Design Award recipient. The architectural practice is primarily driven by his curiosity about the world and his solution-based approach to design. As the firm matures, he realizes that a singular idea is much more powerful than an amalgamation of ideas in one project. His work seeks simplicity in form, space, program, material and budget, while resolving issues in a single brushstroke. That simplicity is also reflected in his minimal palette of finishes and details. It takes rigour in the design process, to achieve his desired level of focus. The result is often poignant and articulate, yielding architecture that is quiet, simple, soulful and timeless.
