Centred around the theme of "Re:Think. Re: Create", Nippon Paint crowns the Malaysian winners of the Nippon Paint Young Designer Awards (NPYDA) 2013.

Abdullah Mustaffar B. Razali from Politeknik Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah picked up the Gold Award in teh Architecture category for his work - "Kuantan Youth Centre". He Re:Created a single-purpose futsal court into a multi-functional centre that would meet the socio-economic needs of youth within Kuantan's city centre. The design incorporated sustainable building materials and focused on green solutions like a green wall to help air filtration in the building, skylights to reduce energy consumption and  shades to limit glare from the sun.
Politeknik Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah also won Best Colour Choice Award, Best Lecturer Award, Best College / University Award and Best Supporting College /University Award.


The Gold winners in Malaysia walked away with RM3,000 in cash and will be heading to Japan in March next year, together with Gold winners from six other countries in the region. The learning trip to Japan will give the Gold winners an opportunity to meet with renowned architects and interior designers including the likes of Takeshi Sugimoto (Super Potato) and Sadao Tsuchiya (MUJI) from Japan, in addition to other designers from China, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia.

The NPYDA is an annual event to celebrate and to recognise outstanding works by students in the field of interior design and architecture. The entries were judged based on space planning and design, green elements, colour and design statement with an additional site analysis requirement for the architecture category. This year, the competition challenged the students to push the boundaries of design by identifying an existing space and proposing an innovative concept that would improve the living conditions of the communities around it.

The judges for the Malaysian leg of this competition comprised industry professionals including chief judge for the Interior Design category Anura Hashim and Ar. Jasmeet Singh for the Architecture category. The panel of judges also include representatives from the Real Estate and Housing Developers' Association (REHDA), Malaysian Institute of Interior Designers (MIID) and the Malaysia Green Building Confederation (MGBC). It is also supported by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KETTHA).

Abdullah Mustaffar Razali and Heah Chee Shean, both 22, recently won the Gold and Best Colour Choice award in their respective competition categories at the 2013 Nippon Paint Young Designer Award (NPYDA).
Abdullah, who won the Architecture category's top title, transformed a single-function futsal court into a multiple-use "Kuantan Youth Centre".
He introduced canopies on his building design to harvest rainwater as well as green-coloured walls to reduce building temperature and induce better air filtration.
"It is not just a conducive environment for the younger community, it is a place that incorporates functionality with ecological features," explained the Politeknik Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah student.

Heah, from Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, won the Interior Design category's coveted award for her colourful "Flamboyant Pier Play School".
Reinterpreting tradition, she played around with basic industrial containers, arranging them in a cluster that allows ventilation, wind flow and natural sunlight.
"My design is made from simple green ideas, but it is cost-effective and easy to construct. Most importantly, safety is key since it is meant for pre-schoolers," said Heah.
This year's competition theme, "Re:Think. Re:Create", challenged students to dig deep into what they perceive to be functional site development.
"Current landscape trends demand design concepts that are developed in response to current issues such as sustainability, community and health," said Nippon Paint Malaysia Sdn Bhd group general manager Gladys Goh.
