About Scda
SCDA: A Multi-Disciplinary Architectural Practice
SCDA is a multi-disciplinary architectural practice that has been making waves in the industry for over two decades. Led by Principal Soo K. Chan, the firm has established itself as a leading player in the field of architecture, with an impressive portfolio of projects that span across Asia, Europe and North America.
At SCDA, our work is driven by a passion for creating spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. We believe that good design should be able to evoke emotions and create experiences that stay with people long after they have left the space.
Our approach to architecture is rooted in the principles of tranquility and calmness. We believe that these qualities are essential for creating spaces where people can feel at ease and find respite from the chaos of everyday life. To achieve this, we focus on three key elements: space, light and structural order.
Space is one of the most important aspects of any architectural project. At SCDA, we understand how to use space effectively to create environments that are both functional and beautiful. Whether it's designing a residential home or a commercial building, we always strive to make optimal use of available space while ensuring maximum comfort for occupants.
Light is another crucial element in our design philosophy. We believe that natural light can transform any space into something truly special. By carefully considering how light enters a building at different times of day, we can create dynamic environments that change throughout the day.
Finally, structural order is essential for ensuring stability and longevity in any building project. At SCDA, we pay close attention to every detail when it comes to structural design - from choosing materials to determining load-bearing capacities - so you can be sure your project will stand up over time.
Our portfolio includes some truly remarkable projects across various sectors including hospitality & resorts; residential; commercial & mixed-use developments; cultural institutions; institutional & civic buildings; urban planning & master planning projects among others.
One such example would be The New World Saigon Hotel located in Ho Chi Minh City which was designed by SCDA Architects Pte Ltd (Singapore) together with local partner VTN Architects (Vietnam).

Another notable project would be The Scotts Tower located at Orchard Road Singapore which was completed back in 2018 featuring 231 apartments spread over 31 storeys along with amenities like swimming pool/gymnasium/sky terrace etc..
