SkyBlox Co‑Living — Sustainability as a lived experience

Sustainability in architecture is often discussed as a checklist — energy use, materials, certifications.

But projects like SkyBlox Co‑Living show that it goes beyond that.

By rethinking how people live together, the project introduces:
• Communal spaces that encourage interaction and shared living
• Prefabricated construction methods to reduce waste and improve efficiency
• Passive design strategies that maximise natural light and ventilation

These elements are not separate features — they are part of how the building is experienced daily by its users.

It is a reminder that good sustainable design is not only technical, but social and experiential.

THE MANOR KL — Vertical Elegance in the Urban Context

The Manor KL explores how residential architecture can be expressed vertically while maintaining a sense of clarity, refinement, and spatial quality.

Rather than relying on excess form, the design is defined by proportion, structure, and a careful response to its urban surroundings — creating a presence that is both distinct and measured within the Kuala Lumpur skyline.

Projects like this reflect how contemporary residential architecture continues to evolve, balancing density, design intent, and liveability in city environments.

Borderless House — Rethinking how we live with nature

This award-winning residential project challenges conventional ideas of a “house” by dissolving the boundaries between indoors and outdoors, architecture and landscape, and even between private and shared spaces.

Designed with a strong response to the tropical climate, the house prioritises natural ventilation, shaded spaces, and a close connection to greenery — creating a living environment that feels both open and intimate at the same time.

Beyond its form, the project highlights a broader approach to residential design — one that considers climate, lifestyle, and long-term liveability.

🌿 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐖𝐚𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 & 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐈𝐩𝐨𝐡

What was once a dilapidated industrial building has been transformed into a vibrant, future‑proof facility—setting a new benchmark for sustainable industrial architecture in Malaysia.

Designed by Kuee Architecture, the Wah Seng Warehouse & Office reimagines an ageing warehouse into the nation’s first GreenRE Platinum‑rated (Existing) warehouse, proving that sustainability, corporate identity, and industrial efficiency can coexist seamlessly.

Through adaptive reuse, energy‑saving technologies, carbon‑dioxide‑based cold room systems, solar PV integration, and carefully curated material choices, the project delivers up to 45% energy savings while creating a healthier, more uplifting workspace for its people.

Beyond technical performance, the design reflects Wah Seng’s legacy as a third‑generation family business—combining refined branding, strong visual identity, and long‑term environmental stewardship. A compelling reminder that architecture can elevate not just buildings, but the industries and communities they serve.

The TNB Platinum Office Towers, Pelitawanis & Childcare Centre stand as a benchmark for sustainable urban development in Kuala Lumpur. Achieving the prestigious Green Building Index (GBI) Platinum Award, the project demonstrates how thoughtful design, advanced technology, and responsible resource management can come together at scale.

With an impressive Building Energy Index (BEI) of 95.90 kWh/m²/year, solar photovoltaic panels, high‑efficiency HVAC systems, and extensive daylight optimisation, the development significantly reduces energy consumption while enhancing comfort and well‑being for its occupants.

Beyond energy performance, the project integrates electric vehicle charging facilities, automatic waste collection systems, water recycling strategies, and green roofs—reflecting a holistic approach to environmental stewardship. Designed by Neuformation Architects, TNB Platinum exemplifies how corporate developments can lead the way in creating resilient, future‑ready cities.

🏙️ 𝐔𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞, 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐬

Tucked into a challenging wedge‑shaped site along Jalan Cheras, Aman Elite demonstrates how thoughtful planning and architectural clarity can unlock value from complex urban conditions.

Designed as an integrated shop‑office development, the project maximises buildable area by leveraging planning allowances while prioritising pedestrian experience, public access, and contextual sensitivity. A generous shaded veranda, copper‑toned façade accents, landscaped buffers, and carefully crafted arrival sequences transform what could have been a conventional commercial strip into a vibrant urban edge.

From its pixelated pedestrian paving to its copper perforated lift lobbies and garden sanctuary, Aman Elite shows how investing in key architectural touchpoints can elevate both user experience and neighbourhood character—proving that even difficult sites can make a positive urban contribution.

🏛️ 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐚 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐚: 𝐀 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞

Built in 1913 and once reserved for royalty and dignitaries, Carcosa Seri Negara has been meticulously restored and reimagined as a public cultural landmark.

Led by HL Architecture with CGB Consultants, the conservation works honour the building’s layered history—reviving original craftsmanship, materials, and tropical design strategies—while introducing new life through adaptive reuse.

Today, Carcosa Seri Negara stands not as a static monument, but as a living place of culture, memory, and public engagement.

Masjid Al‑Sultan Abdullah redefines the urban mosque through a minimalist and modern architectural language.

Located within the Merdeka 118 precinct, the mosque blends geometric abstraction, innovative materials, and thoughtful spatial design—creating a serene sanctuary rooted in Islamic tradition yet expressive of modernity.

Designed by GDP Architects, the project stands as a cultural and spiritual anchor within Kuala Lumpur’s evolving cityscape.

Architecture doesn’t end when construction is complete—it lives on through the way it is seen, felt, and remembered.

In this in‑depth interview, architectural photographer David Yeow shares how light, timing, materiality, and movement shape the way we experience buildings through images.

From intimate interiors to large‑scale landmarks, his work goes beyond documentation—revealing atmosphere, spatial logic, and human presence.
