The George Town Esplanade project is a comprehensive revitalisation of the historic northern seafront, integrating key components such as the Linear Garden and the Cenotaph War Memorial into a cohesive public realm. The design restores heritage elements while enhancing accessibility, greenery, and civic use, reconnecting the city with its coastal edge.
​
Recognised for its sensitive approach to heritage conservation and public space design, the project was awarded Project of the Year, Excellence Award in Landscape Design, and Conservation & Preservation Award at the Malaysia Landscape Architecture Awards (MLAA14). It also received two awards at the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation 2025, affirming its contribution to preserving and revitalising George Town’s historic urban landscape.
Armenian Park was recognised at the Malaysia Landscape Architecture Awards (MLAA) for its thoughtful transformation of an underutilised space into a flexible and meaningful civic park within the George Town World Heritage Site. The design responds sensitively to its heritage context while creating a welcoming environment for everyday use.
​
A key strength of the project lies in its ability to accommodate a wide range of activities, particularly during festivals and cultural events. The open layout and adaptable spaces allow the park to host gatherings, performances, and community programmes, making it an active part of George Town’s cultural life.
The project was commended for its clear spatial organisation, integration of greenery, and human-scaled design, successfully enhancing both the functionality and character of the Armenian Enclave.
Curtis Cube is an experimental showcase garden developed in collaboration with Sputnik Forest Labs for Royal Floria Putrajaya 2019. Conceived as an avant-garde floating botanical installation, the project draws inspiration from the botanical journal of Charles Curtis, reinterpreting historical plant narratives through a contemporary spatial expression.
​
The installation features a curated selection of local plant species, arranged within a suspended framework that invites visitors to engage with the garden from multiple perspectives. During the day, the composition presents a light and immersive botanical experience, while at night it transforms into an interactive installation inspired by the art of wayang kulit, casting layered shadows and creating a dynamic visual performance.
​
Blending heritage references with experimental design, Curtis Cube explores the intersection of landscape, storytelling, and cultural expression. The project was recognised with both the Garden Award and the Garden Creative Award under the Designers Category, celebrating its innovative approach to garden design and interpretation.
