AAMER Architects
AAMER Architects is a boutique architecture firm known for offering a comprehensive suite of professional architectural design services. These services include master planning, interior design, and landscape design, all delivered by a highly skilled and dedicated team. The firm has made its mark on a wide array of projects over the years, ranging from Good Class Bungalows and inter-terrace properties to private cluster-housing developments, conservation shophouses, high-rise buildings in Malaysia, bars and restaurants, and even doctors’ clinics. AAMER Architects has earned a reputation for embracing architectural innovation, often stepping away from conventional styles to explore new inspirations and ideas.
The firm’s Principal Architect, Aamer Taher, is known for his distinctive designs characterized by their flair, curves, and playfulness. His work often defies traditional architectural norms, reflecting his unique personality. Each project is approached as a piece of art, developed with a deep understanding of the site, context, and client’s needs. One client aptly described Aamer’s work as ‘haute architecture,’ likening it to haute couture or haute cuisine, emphasizing the bespoke and tailored nature of each design.
Founded in 1994, Aamer Architects came into being two years after Aamer Taher returned to Singapore from London, where he studied at the Architectural Association School of Architecture and worked with notable firms, including Michael Hopkins and Associates. Aamer has also served as a council member of the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) and has been an adjunct lecturer at the School of Architecture at the National University of Singapore (NUS). In his leisure time, Aamer is a passionate artist who enjoys painting and occasionally creates commissioned wall paintings for clients’ new homes.
