About Lekker Architects

Lekker Architects is owned by Ong Ker-Shing and Joshua Comaroff. Ker-Shing is a licensed architect in Singapore, and Director of the firm. Joshua is architecturally trained and serves as Design Consultant. Prior to the incorporation of Lekker Architects in 2014, Joshua and Ker-Shing worked under their design consultancy, Lekker Design (now dissolved), which focused on interior design, furniture design, retail scenography and landscape architecture. The works shown in this website were produced by Ker-Shing and Joshua, whether under Lekker Architects, Lekker Design, or Ong Ker-Shing as an independent Qualified Person (QP). “We make our buildings, and then they make us,” said Winston Churchill. Lekker is a group of designers, architects, and social scientists who explore how built environments can make us feel and experience. We are fascinated by the power of space to engage us, to create formative moments, and to provide a stage for public life. And even more—how it enables us to learn and imagine. We take on projects with big ambitions: buildings that promote inclusion, neighborhoods that encourage walking and socializing, retail experiences that are dreamlike and exciting and transformative. We engage in multi-year qualitative and quantitative research projects—for public and private clients—to gather unique information about how the built environment influences experience, wellness, and behavior. We use this data to drive our clients’ ambitions into form, and look for clear results that we can learn from and carry forward.
