About

The Journey

Kheoh Yong Shen Architect was founded on a foundation of rigorous education and extensive practical experience. Our principal, Ar. Kheoh Yong Shen, began his architectural journey with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture (LAM Part I) from the University of Malaya.

Dedicated to honing his craft, he gained invaluable experience at firms such as NWKA Architects in Selangor and Johnny Ooi Architect in Penang before returning to academia. He earned his Bachelor of Architecture (LAM Part II) from Universiti Putra Malaysia, further solidifying his expertise.

His professional path continued at Arkitek OA in Penang, where he refined his skills for several years before achieving the industry's highest standard: passing the LAM Part III examination. This comprehensive journey, blending academic excellence with hands-on practice, culminated in the establishment of his own practice in Penang in 2025, where he is committed to delivering thoughtful and innovative architectural solutions.
