Upper Room Collaborative Studio

Upper Room Collaborative Studio was established in 2020 by Darren Pirono and Jefferson Frans Tan. They provide comprehensive design and build services in architecture and interior design, specializing in residential, commercial, hospitality, and industrial projects.

The studio emphasizes a contemporary style characterized by simplicity and timeless design elements. They believe that the design should act as a canvas, allowing occupants to express their lives within their spaces. They create built narratives that evolve through research and development by integrating natural elements, cultural influences, quality materials, and collaboration with their clients.

In 2023, Upper Room Collaborative Studio proudly received the A’ Design Award in the Interior Space and Exhibition Design category for 2022-2023 in Milan, Italy, for their ‘Tranquil by the Sea Regatta Residence’ project. Furthermore, their SAGA Bakery project earned a spot on the 2024 World Architecture Festival shortlist in the INSIDE: Retail category.
