FOLIO 2006 - 2007

 
OFFICE & SERVICE APARTMENT TOWER, KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA
Background Information
The proposed site measuring 3.015 acres is located along the busy ring road, Jalan Tun Razak and near the Kuala Lumpur City Center. We were requested to design a mixed development comprising of 30-storey office suites tower, 20 levels (160 units) condominium units of various sizes, 20 levels of 160 units of SOHO units and a 3-storey commercial podium. The built up area of this development is approximately 69,000 sq meters or 704,000 sq ft. The site is also located near the Lake Titiwangsa City Park, the National Library, National Art Gallery, Istana Budaya and Hospitals.

Design Approach
In our design approach, we took account of the two most important views; the KLCC view, where the twin towers is located and the Lake Titiwangsa city park view. The three buildings or building components in our design proposal are angle in such of way that it will either have the KLCC view or the park view. In this design proposal, the office suites will face the KLCC view and the residential units will either face the park view or the KLCC view. The condominium block will have a circular edge to allow all corner units to have a 180 degree’s panoramic view of Kuala Lumpur.

The façade of the building has straight and clean lines with the use of glass and metal cladding. Both towers, follows identical architectural language and is designed to complement the surrounding existing buildings.
