DOTY 2026 Tri-star Achievement Award: Art by Three Sdn Bhd

Art by Three Sdn Bhd is more than a design firm; it offers comprehensive design, project management and renovation services. A winner of Asia’s Most Prestigious Design Award (AMPDA) at the Designer of the Year Awards (DOTY) 2025, it does not shy away from challenges arising from any of its projects. One of its co-founders, Nicole Oh, was a recipient of the Women Empowering Designer Award (WEDA) at DOTY 2022 and 2023.

Project: Padang Temu, Melaka (DOTY 2022 Best Showhouse Design)

For this showhouse in Melaka, Art by Three looks to the “Modern Neo Classic” concept, where quality and luxury are emphasised without the grandiosity. This offers potential homebuyers a visual idea of a classic and elegant yet effortless dream home.

Project: Le Nouvel Penthouse (Le Nouvel, KLCC) (DOTY 2023 Merit Residential Design – High-Rise)

The amalgamation of luxury and simplicity continues to be a running theme for Art by Three. At this penthouse in Le Nouvel KLCC, thoughtful spatial planning and careful curation of furniture and décor help create a modern and classy home worthy of the classiest urbanites.

Project: Tim Hortons (DOTY 2025 Best Commercial Design – F&B (Gold))

Art by Three pays homage to Canada’s natural beauty and outdoor culture in designing the Tim Hortons café at the Oasis, Sunway Pyramid. Within the space lies its standout feature: a mural wall with acoustic panels that further uplifts an already warm, grounded and inviting dining area.
