OMG Atelier is a Singapore-based architecture and design practice whose work extends into interior and exhibition design, as well as various creative and artistic spatial expressions. Each project, regardless of scale or scope, is an opportunity for the studio to explore the intricate and layered dimensions of the human experience.
Guided by a spirit of curiosity, OMGA moves beneath the surface of everyday life to understand essential needs, while examining and redefining what it means to live well. We adopt an approach that often invites the unexpected through experimentation with form, light, and materiality, kindling encounters of delight and shaping conditions for spaces to grow and evolve over time.
At the heart of the practice is the belief that ‘the house is a product, while the home is a process’. In our work, we aim not merely to complete projects, but to build relationships and honour the shared journey alongside clients and collaborators, from initial vision to the realisation of a space.

TESTIMONIAL

Selene Goh
Hui Lian has an affable, calm personality and was easy to work with throughout our home project. She is quietly efficient and detail-oriented. She listens carefully to our requests, and offers ideas in a respectful, collaborative manner. This was especially important for a major renovation that involved gutting the entire interior. Her creative yet practical approach extended to how she thoughtfully reused elements such as our old gates and windows, incorporating them seamlessly into the new design and adding continuity to the home.

We engaged Hui Lian for our project at 62A Carpmael Road, and her architectural expertise was evident from day one. She navigated the complexities of the site with ease, delivering a design that is both architecturally bold and incredibly livable. Hui Lian is not just a talented designer but a diligent partner who listens and iterates until the design is flawless. The finished home is a testament to her skill and dedication.

Experiencing a project with Hui Lian is akin to telling her your dreams and seeing everything come to life in front of you. They roll out perfectly and seamlessly - from nitty gritty details previously mentioned in countless discussions, to thoughtful inputs from her - just so there is form and function to the beautiful home that is the end result. A lovely journey we would gladly repeat with her.
