Nice to meet you. We're Sml Studio.
We were shaped by cities: Hong Kong, Vancouver, Tokyo and London. Now we shape them in return.
Sml Studio began with a belief that meaningful architecture starts small. It lives in the details — in the texture of a surface, the weight of a door, the way light moves through a space in the late afternoon.
At Sml, we craft buildings and spaces that move people. Not just visually, but emotionally. Spaces that feel grounded, intentional, and alive.
Whether it’s a new build or a thoughtful retrofit, our work is rooted in clarity, connection, and the idea that architecture should grow with the people who live it.
Who we are
A London and Vancouver-based studio founded by Mira Yung and Benny Kwok. We met while working in Tokyo, with roots in Hong Kong and upbringings in Canada, bringing diverse perspectives to our work.
Sml stands for Small, Medium, and Large — because great design works at every scale. As a Chartered Practice accredited by both RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) and the AIBC (Architectural Institute of British Columbia), we adhere to the highest standards of design and project delivery, ensuring precision and excellence throughout every stage.
What we do
Our practice focuses on bespoke new builds and thoughtful retrofits. We offer a full scope of services, including architectural and interior design, planning, and contract administration, guiding each project smoothly from concept to completion.
