has abstract	Nik Mohamed bin Nik Mahmood is a Director of Kumpulan Senireka Sdn Bhd., a large commercial architecture firm in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Mahmood founded the firm in 1973 after he left the Public Works Department. The firm specializes in commercial highrise buildings, and they have done some significant religious buildings.

Lee, the towering addition is by Mahmood's firm). Mahmood studied at the Birmingham School of Architecture, United Kingdom, from 1957 to 1962. In 1973, Mahmood left the Government service and started his own architectural practice under the name of Kumpulan Senireka with a staff of 10. In the 1970s, the firm operated out of an office in the Wisma Central Building on Jalan Ampang. The firm grew steadily and today has a staff of over 73, which includes 23 professional staff. Mohamed describes himself as adhering to the modernist cred 'form follows function'. This was most obvious in one of his early successes, the Bank Negara Malaysia, whose facade is made of concrete panels arranged to form strong horizontal lines with its bands of continuous windows.Nik Mahmood Mohamed has received numerous awards in his life, one of which was bestowed on him by the Sultan of Selangor. Mahmood also did some of the nation's most significant official mosques and palaces which include Istana Negara, Jalan Duta and the Putra Mosque. (en)
