Our work spans a range of disciplines including master planning, interior architecture, and experiential design—bringing together research-driven thinking with creative spatial solutions. From developing the technical design for The Capitol Theatre and its immersive show Northern Light in Canada, to shaping a culturally integrated master plan for the Rejuvenation of an Ancient Village in China, and crafting the concept for Langkawi Paradise Gardens in Malaysia, we’ve worked across sectors including heritage, tourism, and themed entertainment. Our role often bridges vision and execution—translating narrative, cultural context, and environmental sensitivity into tangible design strategies. These projects reflect our ability to collaborate across disciplines and cultures, merging architecture, storytelling, and landscape into meaningful, engaging destinations.
LANGKAWI | PARADISE GARDENS
As part of the design team, we contributed to the master planning and concept development of Langkawi Paradise Gardens—a visionary eco-park designed to celebrate the rich natural, cultural, and mythological heritage of Langkawi. Situated near the iconic SkyCab and Sky Bridge on the Gunung Mat Chinchang mountain range, the site offered a stunning context for a multi-layered visitor experience.
Our work began with contextual research and spatial planning, aiming to integrate the unique qualities of Langkawi—a UNESCO Global Geopark—into an immersive landscape of gardens, interpretive trails, wellness resorts, and interactive cultural experiences.
The master plan explored ways to combine sustainable tourism with educational and experiential storytelling, using architecture and landscape as a medium to express local folklore, biodiversity, and traditional practices. We placed strong emphasis on harmonizing built structures with the dramatic natural terrain—ensuring a low-impact approach while enhancing both ecological integrity and visitor engagement.
This project strengthened our expertise in environmentally sensitive planning and concept-driven design within a culturally significant context.
