A Melaka-based architectural consultancy focused on practical, functional design and value maximisation.
IIYAN ARCHITECT was established on 2024 as a sole proprietorship Architectural Consultancy Practice based in Melaka. The practice specialises in practical space planning and architectural design with the aim of minimising cost while maximising long-term value.
As the practice progressed into higher-value projects, IIYAN C ARCHITECT SDN BHD was established on 2026, strengthening the practice's capacity to support larger and more complex developments.
Today, IIYAN ARCHITECT and IIYAN C ARCHITECT SDN BHD operate as registered Architectural Consultancy Practices with the Board of Architects Malaysia / Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia (LAM).
Practical architecture shaped around function, efficiency and value.
