UNIFOR by David Ong Architect uses shading, rooftop greenery, cross- and stack-ventilation, and a contemporary tropical expression, while also incorporating cultural symbolism.

More than an office block, it reads the tropics as a design brief — passive strategies and cultural references shaping a workplace rooted in place. Silver, PAM Awards 2026 (Commercial High Rise).

Restored by WK Khor Architect in 2021 and adapted by Z & SR Architectural Ventures in 2023, 123 Macalister shows how heritage can remain relevant rather than becoming a static preserved object.

On Penang's Macalister Road, restoration meets contemporary adaptation — the Straits Eclectic shophouse keeps its character while making room for present-day life.

PAM Awards 2026 — Interior Design

Commendation
• PLANTER ISLAND — Architect: Formzero Architecture

For Halla Holla in Mid Valley Mall, Formzero turns a windowless basement kiosk into an oasis — a sculptural island of stacked CNC-cut timber and grow-lit greenery that invites shoppers to pause, rest and gather. Craft and nature, echoing the bakery's sourdough ethos.

In George Town, the scars of a fire become the material of renewal — salvaged elements reworked by local craftsmen into a living F&B and cultural hub. Gold, PAM Awards 2026 (Adaptive Re-use).
