LEE Hui Lian

Lee Hui Lian is a registered Architect in Singapore, an educator, and an artist at heart. She earned her Master of Architecture from the National University of Singapore on a full NUS ASEAN Scholarship and began her career with FARM. In 2021, she founded OMG Atelier while continuing her collaboration with FARM. This expansion of her practice has allowed her to rekindle her love for the visual arts and explore more personal projects.

Her portfolio spans residential, conservation, and exhibition design. In 2025, she was named one of Singapore’s emerging architects in URA’s fourth edition of "20 Under 45" and received an Honourable Mention in the 2024 SIA–YAL Young Architects Award.

Hui Lian’s passion for design research and community engagement underpins her commitment to education. She began teaching at the NUS Department of Architecture in 2017. Beyond academia, she serves on the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) Design Think Tank Committee and previously led the SIA–YAL Mentorship Programme from 2021 to 2023.

Across projects of all scales, Hui Lian embraces a thoughtful design approach that leaves room for play and experimentation, continually asking: What creates enduring, liveable spaces that also challenge our assumptions about form, material, and ways of living? Central to her philosophy is the belief that good spaces evoke delight, imagination, and a quiet awareness of the passage of time—spaces that breathe, evolve, and deepen alongside the everyday narratives of their inhabitants.
