T. Y. Lee
Lee was the architect of record for the Central Market, the finest Art Deco building in Kuala Lumpur that dates to 1936.
[1] Lee's work then shifted in a modern direction, and he created an apartment block that was among the city's most prestigious addresses.
The Central Market is one of the living examples of South East Asian Art Deco Architecture that is still well preserved and serving its original function.

It consists of two rectangular courtyards, with shop lots on the ground floor perimeter, and a roof terrace.
Perched atop a hill in Bukit Bintang, the upper floors enjoy panoramic views of the city.
Marble Jade Mansion is an apartment block built in February 1963 in Jalan Berhala Brickfield, Kuala Lumpur.
The building consists of 60 units in four storey flat houses with 2 or 3 bedrooms with a square overlooking and open courtyard.
The idea was to provide flexible rentable space that could be partitioned off into separate, smaller offices if required.
Buildings amenities were located to avoid inconvenience, including the air-conditioning ducts, lavatories, staircases, lifts, and lighting.
Lee designed 51 units of bungalow, according to the colonial classification system, types A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K at Ipoh Road for the Indian Co-operative Housing Society Ltd.
Like the architect's other apartment house, Blue Boy Mansion, the 9 Storey Flat features a roof terrace.
