DP Architects is the world’s eighth largest architecture practice, according to an annual ranking of the top 100 architecture firms compiled by Building Design, a leading UK-based online resource for the profession.

Rising two spots from last year’s ranking, DP Architects is the only Southeast Asian firm in the top ten list dominated by firms from the world’s largest countries like USA, Canada and China. The firm employs 1,300 staff, out of which 766 are architectural employees.

The Singapore-based practice has 16 offices around the world and secured its spot as one of the big players due to its business development in new overseas markets. The firm expanded in UK, Turkey, Vietnam and Thailand in the last three years.
