The Legacy at T.R. Hamzah & Yeang: Award-Winning Green Design and Architecture

At T.R. Hamzah & Yeang, sustainability is more than just a concept, it’s embedded in everything we design. With a deep focus on eco-architecture and master planning, green skyscrapers, and ecological design, we continually explore new ways to advance sustainable innovation. Over the years, our commitment to high-performance green buildings has been recognized through various industry accolades.
Here are some of the key awards and projects that reflect our approach to sustainable design:

Menara Mesiniaga, completed in 1992.

Aga Khan Award for Architecture (1996) – Menara Mesiniaga, Malaysia

The iconic Menara Mesiniaga, won the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 1996, stands as a testament to our vision for green skyscrapers. Designed with passive cooling strategies, green terraces, and energy-efficient features, it remains a pioneering example of sustainable architecture.
This award highlights our early commitment to merging tropical architecture in Malaysia with high-tech green solutions—well ahead of its time in the 1990s!

Solaris in Singapore, completed in 2011.

AIA International Region Design Awards (2014) – Solaris at Fusionopolis, Singapore

Solaris at Fusionopolis in Singapore showcases our expertise in green commercial design, featuring an extensive nature-integrated facade that is accessible for scheduled maintenance, along with sky gardens and daylight-optimized interiors. The low-energy mixed-mode atrium includes an operable glass louver system, which automatically opens during good weather and closes in inclement conditions to enhance natural ventilation.
Winning the AIA International Region Design Award in 2014 highlights its success as a benchmark for energy-efficient and user-centric workspace design and architecture, supporting green urbanism efforts globally.

Solaris in Singapore, completed in 2011.

Green Building Index Gold (2012) – CelcomDigi Hub, Malaysia

CelcomDigi Hub (formerly DiGi Technology Operation Centre) in Selangor, Malaysia, was awarded the Green Building Index Gold certification for its low-energy consumption, advanced shading systems, and natural interior ventilation. This project highlights our expertise in designing high-performance office buildings that align with global sustainability goals, at a time when Malaysian corporations were beginning to embrace sustainability.

National Library, Victoria St., Singapore. Completed in 2005.

BCA Green Mark Platinum (2009) – National Library, Singapore

Singapore’s National Library earned the BCA Green Mark Platinum certification for its climate-responsive design, intelligent daylight control, and energy-efficient strategies. As an urban green icon, it embodies our approach to eco-conscious architecture, seamlessly integrating Singapore’s cultural fabric with its modern high-tech design, serving both the environment and the community.
