Nominated NSW Registered Architect 9247
Class 2 Design Practitioner DEP0000598
M. Arch, B. Arch


Born and raised in Hong Kong, Keith’s early creativity and talent for design led to his enduring passion for architecture. On completing his architecture studies in Australia, Keith travelled around the world to immerse himself in some of the most remarkable place makers. With over 15 years of professional experience, Keith has led significant mixed-use, commercial, and residential projects throughout Sydney.

Notably, at world-renowned RSHP, he made a significant contribution to the development of the Barangaroo Masterplan and International Towers.  At Bates Smart, his leadership spanned across residential, commercial, and hospitality projects including the 88 Alfred Street residential complex, The Store development in Newcastle, Ivanhoe masterplan and mixed-use development in Macquarie Park, Ace Hotel in Surry Hills, and the 280 George Street Hotel Design Competition in Sydney CBD.

In addition to his broad spectrum of civic and urban-scale experiences, with the co-founding of JKM.architects in 2017, Keith has recently designed and completed several smaller-scale residential architecture projects. These projects beautifully demonstrate the practice’s commitment to architecture that responds creatively to changing societal and individual needs and aspirations.
