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.

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

A fruitful year for CKHO Architect, bringing home 3 PAM Awards 2026 — 1 Gold and 2 Silver Awards.

These mark our 6th, 7th and 8th PAM Awards since our establishment in 2017, that since day one, we have believed in architectural exploration through Design Process Thinking. Architecture comes with challenges, uncertainties, ups and downs. So whenever PAM Awards come around, recognition from our own profession sort of reminds us:

”Hey, nice work. Keep it up.“

It gives us the confidence to continue pushing further and exploring harder.

The 3 awarded projects are not large in scale, but each represents a sincere effort to search for something different. We are grateful that the ideas and messages behind these projects were understood and appreciated, making the architecture meaningful beyond the buildings themselves.

Thank you to our clients, consultants, contractors and the CKHO team for trusting the process and taking another small step forward together.

🏆 Gold — Heritage Salvation @ Piccadilly Bazaar (Adaptive Re-Use)
🥈 Silver — Bayana Hub (Commercial Low Rise)
🥈 Silver — Heritage Rice Mill Relocation (Special Category)

𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 & 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐲 @ 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡, 𝐏𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐠

An A&A transformation of two existing shoplots into a sales gallery and office, redefining the developer’s identity.

Using drainage cells and anti-climb fencing, the façade is
re-proportioned to create a distinct yet simple presence —
basic materials, rethought to stand apart from the context.

𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞- 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐮𝐛 @ 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐮 𝐊𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐧

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 “just nice” level of treatment — 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.

𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 @ 𝐑𝐚𝐣𝐚 𝐔𝐝𝐚

A small-scale intervention along Raja Uda’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 – Showroom Category (Commendation Award).
