RSP Architects received the Gold Award for Merdeka 118, a collaboration project with the Australian architect firm, Fender Katsalidis Architects, under the Commercial (High Rise) category. This is another honourable achievement for Merdeka 118, after recently receiving the Award for Commercial Architecture at the 2026 Australian Institute of Architects International Chapter Architecture Awards.
The project which launched back in January 2024 was ranked as the second tallest building in the world and has gained several achievements and recognitions since. Merdeka 118 was awarded Platinum rating certifications from Green Building Index (GBI), Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and Green Real Estate (GreenRE), making it the first triple-green platinum-rated mega-tall building in Malaysia.

Another project within the Stadium Merdeka urban revitalisation precinct, Look At 118, also managed to receive Commendation under the Commercial (Low Rise) category, as well as both Residensi Allevia Mont’ Kiara and Maya Ara Residences received Commendation under the Residential (High Rise) category.
The PAM Awards 2026 nominations which started in December and had its last stage of vetting process in March, shortlisted four of RSP Architects’ projects for its final judging process. We are truly humbled and honoured to receive acknowledgement and appreciation from PAM as all four of those projects were awarded during the night.
We extend our congratulations to all the other winners and shortlisted participants for PAM Awards 2026 and our deepest gratitude to PAM for this recognition.
