our story

in early 2010, the founder envisaged the idea of establishing a design firm that emphasised the creative process and the working methodology, which set the foundation of this firm in October of the same year, to be named ".stu.dio.ku", which means "my workroom". it conveys the firm's philosophy that each and every design for the projects are conceived by the team members in this studio and the solutions are customised according to the clients' unique needs without being "recycled" from other projects.

.stu.dio.ku grew steadily over the years with diversed projects ranging from residential to commercial projects with some recurring clients. after securing some contracts in Malaysia, the firm changed its name to "studioku design asia" (SDA) in 2013 as part of a new direction in seeking great potentials in the regional markets. the firm continues to look forward to expansion in the near future.

SDA believes that a truly versatile design is more than a unique concept and beyond an arresting visual styling. a delicate balance between function and aesthetic is established by translating the user requirement into a spatial experience that remain relevant, unpretentious and timeless. to achieve such result, SDA never stops exploring materials from various sources and inventing creative solutions to maximise the effectiveness as well as the usability. SDA also keeps themselves regularly updated with the latest technology in building material and solutions, as well as environmental-friendly products.

the firm also takes pride in the detailing of their works, be it a single piece of 3-metre long raw piece of rainforest tree countertop, a steel spiral staircase floating above a pool, or a cantilevered concrete bench - winning praises from their clients.
