Ar Razin Mahmood (7 June 1965), FPAM, is the founding director of Razin Architects Sdn Bhd, operating from the city of Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia.

EARLY DAYS
Razin is the son of a religious teacher. Born in Johor Bahru in 1965 he was raised, till the age of 13, in Kampung Rimba Terjun, Pontian Kecil, on the west coast of Malaysia. His extended family lived close by. Razin played in the fields around his home and was very much a ‘kampung boy’. He attended a local school and prayed in Surau Kampung Rimba Terjun, a short walk from his home. A bright and hard-working student he proceeded to a boarding school in Perak and subsequently in 1983, he was awarded a Government scholarship to study architecture at Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge (Robert Powell, 2020).

PROFESSIONAL CAREER
Razin returned to Malaysia in 1989. He secured a post with Hajeedar and Associates where he progressed under the watchful eye of Dato' Ar. Hj Hajeedar bin Hj Abdul Majid for two years, working mainly on large projects, before moving in 1992, to work with A Karim Akitek based in Johor Bahru. In 1995 he was appointed as Project Architect for AF Consultant Architect, the lead consultant for a mega development in Kuala Lumpur. In 1996, he set up his own practice Razin Architect in the capital, at the age of 31, and a year later, as an economic recession began to bite, he relocated back to his home state (Robert Powell, 2020).

Razin started his own practice in 1996. His office has won several awards both locally and internationally. Some examples of his award-winning projects are the Baan Tara, Denai House, and Surau Nusa Idaman.
