Multiply Architect LLP
In April 2007, Multiply Architects LLP commenced its operations under the leadership of its founder, Ms. Yap Mong Lin, alongside partner Mr. Alvin Foo. The firm initiated its journey with a compact team of five members, diving into significant architectural endeavors. Among these projects were the expansion of a Sentosa hotel with 200 additional rooms, the construction of a luxurious 35-story residential complex on Leonie Hill, and the development of the Mahabodhi Monastery in Bukit Timah. Notably, the latter project earned recognition as a finalist in the World Architecture Festival 2015 for its architectural excellence.
With each passing year, Multiply Architects LLP witnessed substantial growth, both in reputation and capability. The firm diversified its portfolio by undertaking an array of local projects, simultaneously broadening its expertise in interior design, particularly focusing on residential developments. By 2011, the firm embarked on more expansive ventures, venturing into large-scale commercial projects. Notable among these endeavors were the reconstruction of Chinatown Point Mall and significant renovation work on the iconic CHIJMES, situated in Singapore’s Civic District.
An instrumental factor in Multiply Architects LLP’s success was its collaboration with Perennial Real Estate Holdings Pte Ltd, a prominent local developer. This partnership not only provided the firm with opportunities but also bolstered its standing in the industry, allowing it to tackle increasingly ambitious projects with confidence and finesse.
Multiply Architect LLP Awards and Credentials
In 2013, Multiply Architects forged a close partnership with an overseas architectural design firm, Serie Architects, marking the beginning of a fruitful collaboration.

Notably, Multiply Architects clinched these projects through open architectural competitions, including the design of the New State Courts Complex, the expansion of the School of Design and Environment at the National University of Singapore, and the development of Oasis Terraces – HDB Punggol Neighbourhood Centre and Polyclinic. The latter project garnered accolades, winning the World Architecture Festival 2015’s Future Project: Mixed Used Development award and the Housing Development Board Innovative Design Award 2015.
In recognition of its outstanding contributions and achievements, Multiply Architects was honored with the Singapore Small Medium Enterprise Award of the Year 2015, further solidifying its position as a leading architectural firm in the region.
Services Offered
Preliminary stages in architectural development involve several key steps. It begins with a brief development, where project goals and requirements are outlined. Following this, site selection and infrastructure analysis are conducted to determine the most suitable location and assess existing facilities. Budgeting and scheduling are crucial tasks that are addressed early on to ensure financial feasibility and timely completion.
Moving into the design phase, thorough site analysis and feasibility studies are carried out to understand site conditions and project viability. Contextual research helps in creating designs that harmonize with the surroundings. Coordinating with various consultants and stakeholders is integral during concept development and planning stages. Subsequently, planning and building applications are prepared, and necessary approvals are obtained from relevant authorities. Detailed construction documentation is then developed, along with tender preparation for contractor selection.
During implementation, the process involves pre-qualifying tenderers, evaluating tenders, and awarding contracts. Execution of building contracts is closely monitored, with emphasis on contract administration and site supervision. Variations in the project are assessed, construction costs are tracked, and project schedules are maintained rigorously. Application for TOP (Temporary Occupation Permit) and CSC (Certificate of Statutory Completion) marks the final stages, leading to practical completion and handing over of the project.
Post-contract activities include finalizing contract accounts, managing the defects period, and conducting post-occupancy evaluations to ensure project quality and client satisfaction. Each stage in the architectural process demands meticulous attention to detail and effective coordination among various stakeholders to achieve successful project outcomes.
