Since October 2018, the firm was corporatized into Arkitek Punca Cipta Sdn Bhd with the joining new directors and opening of offices in Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh and Kota Bharu.

By not limiting our definition, we are now experienced in diverse projects of differing scale; from product packaging, furniture design, single houses and commercial developments  to  large industrial complex.  Our expertise in conservation and traditional timber architecture, and the completion of a few significant heritage and conservation projects was awarded when in July 2017 we were declared as recipient of the Belian Award for the Commercial and Public Building category of the Malaysian Wood Award 2017 for Restoration of Rumah Warisan Haji Su in Losong Terengganu. The studio environment that we maintained in our practice allow for collaboration between architects, clients, consultants and builders. We are passionate in delivering value-added design with the economically optimized technical solutions; some that are outright down to earth.
