S. Pin Architect is an award-winning firm based in Kuala Lumpur. Founded by Ar. Tan Sih Pin, one of the alumni of '30 Under 40 Emerging Malaysian Architects 2011', the firm strives for holistic approach in architecture which includes urbanism, interior design & landscape design. It has vast experience in wide range of projects which include residential, commercial, hospitality, recreational, industrial and mixed development.
Inspired by Malaysia's rich nature & diverse culture, S.Pin's architecture has been persistently spinning out from the following 3 core visions:
NATURE
When architecture embraces & responses to the surrounding nature, magic happens, innovative solutions will emerge. We believe architecture & nature can symbiotically co-exist and mutually calibrate to reach a new sustainable balance for our challenged environment.
CULTURE
Architecture functions at its best when it works seamlessly with its surrounding socio-cultural and historical fabric. We advocate architecture that able to create impact within and beyond itself, sustain and also enhance the existing culture or sub-culture around it.
FUTURE
We strive to push boundaries in the pursuit of architecture and at the same time push open the window to the futurescape of our living environment.
In year 2015, the firm started ‘Architect For Left-over Spaces’(AFLoS) which focuses on the revitalisation of neglected open spaces & old buildings as an endeavor to give back to the local socio-architecture environment. This was after the firm won a competition to design a monument at an urban open space that pays tribute to the first Malaysian King (Agong) & the historical road that named after him, Tuanku Abdul Rahman Road.
Some of the accolades the firm has received include Pertubuhan Arkitek Malaysia Awards 2010 (P.A.M., Architect Association of Malaysia), BCI Asia Futurarc Prize 2008, Piscine Global Pool Vision Asia 2017 Award.
