夢 YUME means dream.

Architecture begins with this aspirational act. To make a difference in someone’s life through design.

Yume Architects is a Singapore-based architecture studio that has been recognised for its design excellence with numerous awards including the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) Design Award, iF Design Award, Kyoto Global Design Award, German Design Award and Architecture MasterPrize.

We are a design focused studio with a portfolio of work that encompasses residential projects to public art installations and urban planning. We believe in creating architecture that is anchored to its cultural, social and environmental context. We strive to design spaces with unique characteristics and evocative atmospheres. We want our work to be impactful and humanistic.

The office is led by Ar Asami Takahashi and Dr Jason Lim who previously worked for renowned architectural offices including Pritzker prize winner Toyo Ito & Associate, Steven Holl Architects in NY, Weiss/Manfredi in NY and Gramazio Kohler Research in Zurich.
