After graduation in London, Kiat worked ten years with planning and architecture practices, before forming Sputnik Studio in 2011 to focus on private residences. Another ten years on, every project is still examined with fresh eyes and enthusiasm, backed by two decades of experience.

The smallest project we designed measures 3 x 1 m and comes complete with plumbing; the largest, a downtown masterplan to expand its business district. Many projects involved inserting new uses into buildings which often have difficult planning histories. As an architect with planning experience, Kiat is able to unpack policies and various sites’ potential. She also enjoys working with clients and engineers to coordinate structure, space, services and other technical requirements.
