The firm’s knack for crafting landmark transport hubs and socially sustainable developments has established it as one of Malaysia\u2019s foremost practices<\/p>\n

\"\"
The award-winning development provided lower-income residents with \u201cbetter opportunities to find jobs and elevate their socioeconomic prospects.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The evening of 13 May 1969 was a dark night for Malaysia. In the immediate aftermath of only its second general election since independence, Kuala Lumpur was plunged into sectarian violence.<\/p>\n

Race riots between the ethnic Chinese and Malay population stunned the country, culminating in the death of hundreds of mostly Chinese citizens. The events of that night hinted at a bloody, fractious future for the young nation.<\/p>\n

Yet what unfolded was a gradual, albeit fragile, unity between the ethnic groups and the eventual emergence of a Malaysian identity. A major step on the road to reconciliation was the formation of Kuala Lumpur as a federal state and the national capital. Formerly a predominantly ethnic Chinese area, the new city underwent a transformation aimed at fostering a multi-racial society. New residential neighbourhoods were subsequently developed, beginning with Bangsar in the early 1970s. Within a decade, the southwestern suburb had transformed from a rubber plantation into a bustling township thanks largely to the vision of master planners Arkitek MAA.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the off, it was designed to be economically efficient and socially sustainable for all races, genders and generations,\u201d explains the practice\u2019s director Datuk Ezumi Harzani. \u201cAfter the Kuala Lumpur racial tension in 1969, we studied the pattern of population settlement and implemented it in our projects. We believed the right composition of different social statuses in a multi-racial neighbourhood was very important.<\/p>\n

\u201cBangsar Kuala Lumpur is a testament to good planning that elevates the social status of the occupants, and it became an example to many developers over the years.”<\/p>\n

The model has come to define the firm, founded in 1965 under the name Malaysian Associate Architects, as one of the country\u2019s foremost nongovernmental nation builders. A few miles west of Bangsar, now considered one of the capital\u2019s hippest enclaves, lies another of Arkitek MAA\u2019s largescale township achievements. Launched in 1997, the 138-hectare Mutiara Damansara followed a similar ethos to Bangsar, ensuring opportunities abound for all income groups and providing employment opportunities.<\/p>\n

Datuk Ezumi Harzani, the director of Arkitek MAA, is a proponent of imaginative planning that elevates the social status of occupants<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to Harzani, the award-winning development provided lower income residents with \u201cbetter opportunities to find jobs and elevate their socioeconomic prospects. Today, many residents have moved on to higher end homes and are collecting rental income from their previous apartments.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the self-described \u201ckampung boy\u201d, the chance to contribute towards the greater good is what initially encouraged him to pursue a career in architecture. He was also inspired from an early age by his grandfather, a self-taught carpenter, who specialised in constructing traditional stilted Malay houses, and his art-teacher father. \u201cI guess I inherited his artistic genes in the sense that I enjoy art, both in creating and also appreciating it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In our design approach and presentation to our clients, the selection of sustainable materials, carbon-smart construction methods and adoption of renewable energy will always be our top priority<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Harzani joined Arkitek MAA in 1997, after graduating with a Bachelor of Architecture from Universiti Sains Malaysia and a Master of Philosophy (Policy Studies) from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, and was made a director in 2016. He has also been a board member of the Board of Architects Malaysia and was appointed to the advisory board for Kuala Lumpur City Hall, as well as undertaking roles in various government working groups and committees\u2014 invaluable experiences for his role with Arkitek MAA.<\/p>\n

Arguably the firm\u2019s highest-profile contribution to national infrastructure to date is its work on Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). Following an expansion in the 1980s and 90s into China, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines, Arkitek MAA refocused its attention on KL, working with Japanese \u2018starchitect\u2019 Kisho Kurokawa to make his vision for KLIA a reality. Harzani and co. also collaborated with Kurokawa to design Malaysia\u2019s largest transit hub KL Sentral Station. Both were completed in 1998.<\/p>\n

Beyond Arkitek MAA\u2019s knack for crafting landmark transport hubs and socially sustainable developments lies a firm commitment to green design and, in particular, retrofitting. \u201cIncorporating passive design elements with minimum impact on the environment is essential,\u201d Harzani explains. \u201cIn our design approach and presentation to our clients, the selection of sustainable materials, carbon-smart construction methods and adoption of renewable energy will always be our top priority.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also believe that retrofitting existing buildings with modern technologies and better-performance equipment is paramount for improving energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recent retrofitting projects include the reinvention of the historic Sultan Abdul Samad Building into facilities for the Ministry of Information, Communications and Culture, Royale Chulan Penang hotel and DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside. In fact, hospitality developments have become something of a speciality for Arkitek MAA of late. But unlike most of the practice\u2019s residential and commercial endeavours, its hotel projects\u2014whether retrofits or new properties\u2014are primarily located beyond KL\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n

Harzani is keen to stress that major factors in the company\u2019s sustained success are its sectorspanning expertise\u2014it also designs office, retail, civic, healthcare, and industrial projects\u2014and dynamism in new environments.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen working in a new destination, we must understand the historical, political, economic and social features of the society before carefully selecting the accent that best reflects the society,\u201d he explains. \u201cHowever, it will never be a direct copy of any existing cultural structure. Instead, we adopt the accent of the cultural element.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter all, architecture is a frame for society.\u201d Indeed, it is arguably this mentality that has shaped Harzani and Arkitek MAA\u2019s work over the decades and continues to help bind Malaysia\u2019s many cultures, religions and ethnic backgrounds<\/p>\n

Affin Bank HQ Building<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Affin Bank HQ Building, located at KL\u2019s TRX Exchange, was completed in 2022 and has already received multiple certifications, including the Green Building Index (GBI) Gold rating, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification and Qlassic building quality assessment score of 86%. One of the most impressive aspects of the 42-storey tower is the modern and progressive fa\u00e7ade design and exterior cladding. The silver-blue glass curtain wall system with low-E insulated glazing reduces the amount of infrared and ultraviolet light and complements the building\u2019s passive design.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Public Bank Tower II<\/strong><\/p>\n

Public Bank Tower II is a 40-storey corporate office tower rising 196 metres above the street level and an impressive addition to KL\u2019s skyline along Jalan Raja Chulan. The building is designed to achieve both LEED Gold and GBI Gold green building ratings, with many passive design features complemented by high-efficiency, active mechanical & electrical systems.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

The Curve at Mutiara Damansara<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI would say The Curve at Mutiara Damansara is our most ambitious project to date,\u201d says Harzani. \u201cThe first open-air pedestrianised lifestyle shopping mall in Malaysia, it was a highly experimental project to undertake 25 years ago. We wanted to design spaces for people that blurred the boundary between public and commercial areas. Creating spaces with quality is the key to success in place-making for The Curve. \u201cLearning from this, we went on to successfully design Plaza Arkadia at DesaPark City with a similar approach.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Ministry of Transport Office in Putrajaya<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOver the years, we\u2019ve defined our role in nation-building and developed our skills and competencies to achieve this.,\u201d says Harzani. \u201cThis is how we deliver our services in high complexity projects to the government in building national infrastructure, including KL International Airport, Kuching Airport, MRT2, KL Sentral, JB Sentral transportation hub, Custom Immigration Complex, hospitals and the Labuan International Financial Centre and many other public infrastructures. The 10-storey Ministry of Transport Office in Putrajaya was an especially satisfying project, which won us a number of awards.\u201d<\/p>\n

One Cochrane Residence<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to create a serene sanctuary in the heart of KL that resonated with young professionals, business executives and active individuals in search of convenient urban living,\u201d says Harzani. \u201cOne Cochrane Residence, therefore, features flexible interiors with an integrated living-dining-kitchen area and a multi-functional layout in the studio units that can be reconfigured as a workspace. This was a timely project given that we\u2019ve already seen demand for such designs soar in the wake of the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Nucleus Tower<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe designed Nucleus Tower, a high-end corporate office building in Mutiara Damansara, with a green building approach that responds to the environment,\u201d says Harzani. \u201cThe building facade is completed with shading devices for all curtain wall openings. In addition to featuring multi- and single-tenant office spaces in the 24-storey tower, the retail and commercial spaces located in the three-storey commercial block integrate smoothly into the development.<\/p>\n
