designWILKES Overview

Our office was established in Kuala Lumpur in 1994 as a branch office of Lim. Teo + Wilkes Design Works. At the beginning of April 2010 we are rebranding as designWILKES Sdn Bhd. Jeffrey Wilkes, former partner of LTW will continue on as principal of the new company.

We continue on with a dedicated staff of 38, including the original 10 members that started with the firm in 1994. Our dedication and passion for design remain as committed, if not enhanced and rejuvenated with a new spirit of adventure.

Our most recent include:

Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur – fabulous new Bar & Grill

Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong – a major renovation of their flagship property

Mandarin Oriental Bangkok – we return for the 3rd time to work on the Lobby

The Leela Udaipur – a modern palace on the shores of Lake Piccola
