CKHO Architect

FIRM'S PROFILE & PHILOSOPHY

CKHO, a design-based firm located in George Town-Penang, Malaysia. Inspired by Late- Ar Hong Lim Foo, founded on the belief that DESIGN PROCESS has the power to transform lives and enhance communities, we collaborate with clients to create healthy, sustainable places in which to live, learn, work, play, and heal. Our experience and desires as an architectural practice

are innovative that to fit with client's brief, but to challenge the outcome of architecture through a series of critical Design Process brainstorming among the young teammates. We approach every project as an opportunity to find the best and most sustainable solutions.โ€‹

At CKHO, we see architecture as a means, a means to enhance human experience via creative Design Process.

basic materials, rethought to stand apart from the context.

Phase 2 extension of Metrioplace Petrol Station (completed 2+ years ago), this project explores a large single-floor commercial unit with simple yet attractive massing.

The architectural impact comes from a โ€œjust niceโ€ level of treatment โ€” carefully balancing BUDGET, MATERIAL, DETAILING, AND COMMERCIAL PRESENCE.

The space is intentionally kept open and flexible for future tenant fit-out and activity, with further refinement and activation to follow as the hub completes.

A small-scale intervention along Raja Udaโ€™s longest commercial street, Material Forest explores how architecture can introduce something different into a familiar suburban context. The project transforms an existing building into a curated material library, where materials sourced from different contexts are integrated directly into space and architecture.

The core challenge of the project was questioning how typically messy, raw construction materials could be organised, experienced, and presented beyond a conventional trading house or showroom. Rather than hiding them, the architecture frames materials as part of the spatial narrative, turning process, texture, and imperfection into design intent, turning MESSY INTO BEAUTY.

Material Forest received a PAM Awards 2025 โ€“ Showroom Category (Commendation Award).

Glad to be invited as guest speaker for such a meaningful joint event with the Malaysia New Zealand Chamber of Commerce and Breezway Asia and Africa officiated by our PAM President, Ar. Adrianta.

The topic โ€œBeyond Sustainability: Curating Architecture with Meaningโ€ made the evening at our PAM Center KL especially meaningful โ€” a chance to humbly share some of the efforts weโ€™ve been initiating in the Northern region, pushing the boundaries of what โ€˜Sustainabilityโ€™ can mean in design.

A heartfelt thanks to everyone who made the night inspiring and memorable.
