SKY YUTAKA Studio

Disciplines

Sustainability

Our work integrates sustainability with resource management, economic considerations, and the conservation and preservation of ecological and cultural heritage. By effective use of resources, materials and construction techniques, we minimize waste and embrace circular economy principles, creating designs that connect people and environments while balancing progress and preservation for enduring positive impact.

Planning + Strategies

Our design approach integrates strategic planning with placemaking to craft spaces that resonate with their unique contexts. By leveraging our understanding of spatial dynamics, relationships, and functionality, we create tailored strategies that respond meaningfully to unique project challenges. Through organizational design and client-focused briefs, we deliver adaptive, responsive solutions.

Infrastructure

Rooted in the belief that architecture fosters meaningful relationships, our approach integrates technical needs environmental stewardship, and cultural awareness. By contextualizing engineering-driven structures, we balance functionality and efficiency with intentional design. Through strategic integration of public spaces, we enhance amenity value and create meaningful connections between architecture, community, and the environment.

Curatorial Practice + Scenography

We design exhibitions as immersive spatial narratives where scenography transforms spaces into memorable, engaging experiences. In addition to designing exhibitions, we work curatorially which give us insight into the complexities of exhibition creation. This synergy allows us to create layered experiences that connect with a wide variety of audiences.

Object + Craft

We create objects and installations that explore the connections between materials, cultures, and techniques. Through the process of ideation, design, prototyping, and analysis, we integrate traditional craftsmanship, manufacturing expertise, and methodologies. Objects have been showcased internationally at Design Society, Lane Crawford Asia, and as part of the Venice Architecture Biennale, Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\ Architecture, Affordable Art Fair, Clockenflap and Sonar Festivals.
