About Us
T. R. Hamzah and Yeang is an architecture practice founded in 1977 by Tengku Robert Hamzah and Ken Yeang, with expertise in ecological design.
The practice works across architecture and master planning, integrating environmental design, contemporary technology, and research-based methodologies into projects that are grounded in environmental metrics and performance.
With hundreds of projects worldwide, T. R. Hamzah and Yeang today operates at both local and international scales.
Saving the Planet by Design
By developing ecology-based architecture and masterplanning that go beyond conventional sustainability, our mission is not about mitigation alone, but to restore biodiversity, reduce energy and resource use, while integrating the built environment seamlessly with natural ecosystems.
WHAT OTHER SAYS ABOUT OUR DESIGN?
..Yeang’s design approach is distinguished by its scientific rigor, its deep ecological sensibility and its elegant synthesis of form, climate and environment
