Architecture+DesignSummary: The project is located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur where music, shopping and ever-changing entertainment hub converges into an eclectic mix just next to the famed Petronas Towers. Making a commentary about the street wall evolution of Jalan Ampang, the building is recessed to create a public plaza, and opening up its generous drop-off and street lobby into its intimate interior like a mystery box. Due to the scale of the site, all programs are stacked vertically atop one another, and such separation between the intersecwtions of the programs allows for more open green buffer zones and verandah ways. This eclectic vertical relationship is expressed via the different, but cohesive façade treatments.
Within the traditional shoe-box building is a trendsetting while maintaining a consistent and ordered appearance from the outside. The size of the glass openings are set at a comfortable residential proportion allowing for expansive views of the surrounding context.
The façade at the location of the hotel units is scaled to the height of three floor levels providing the hotel a more vertical and distinctive quality, while still maintaining the character of the overall building. The glass is setback at the amenity floors providing exterior colonnade spaces, allowing for landscaping and exterior habitable spaces.
