Background Information
A design proposal for a Corporate Headquarter for a foreign MNC is located in the vicinity of KLCC. Various designs were made to suit and provide the most efficient office space which also include high atrium lobby with specialty retail facilities, cafeteria and parking facilities to compliment the nearby buildings especially the KLCC Convention Centre. Public and private entrances were also required by the users. Three proposals of various designs were produced on the 2.5 acres site along Jalan Pinang.
Design Approach
In this design, a 50-storey Corporate Office Tower is proposed with a grand 5-storey atrium lobby with some specialty retail outlets. The grand atrium lobby is opened up to a landscaped courtyard which serves as a linkage to the nearby KLCC Convention Centre.
Apart from the metal cladding and glass curtain wall facade, a layer of aesthetically designed sun-shading enclosure is being introduced to the whole tower providing a unique identifiable overall structure or building that can be seen from the vicinity of KLCC as well as the KL skyline.
