Sin Architects creates spaces that work beautifully for the people who use them.
We combine fresh ideas with deep experience to design buildings that are functional, thoughtful, and built to last. Every project is shaped around the unique needs and vision of our clients, leaving a legacy of quality and care.
This approach is grounded in our guiding principles of empathy, innovation, beauty, mastery and legacy - the heart of Sin’s Manifesto.
Sin’s Story
At Sin Architects, we believe architecture is an act of care.
Care for people.
Care for place.
Care for purpose.
The practice was founded by architect Michael Sin, a visionary and problem-solver with over four decades of experience.
From the outset, Sin Architects has been shaped by a deeply personal ethos: that architecture should serve, and that design should carry meaning long after the build is complete.

Commercial.
With extensive experience across the commercial sector, we are dedicated to creating spaces that serve people and purpose. From places of worship that inspire faith and connection, to industrial facilities that enable productivity, and everything in between; our focus is on thoughtful, human-centred design that balances function, innovation, and enduring value.

Residential.
We design homes that are as unique as the people who live in them - from single dwellings to multi-residential developments.
Our approach blends comfort, style, and longevity, creating spaces that feel as good as they look.

Education.
Learning environments should inspire curiosity, collaboration, and growth.
At Sin Architects, we believe that every space should be shaped to support those who occupy it, both educators and students alike - adapting to the needs and aspirations of today’s learners & educators, in the preparation of the next generation for the future.
