SRI ANGSANA HILIR CONDOMINIUM BLOCK C
@ KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA.
Abandoned for years, this 22-story building had deteriorated into a symbol of neglect, its worn façade and incomplete interiors casting a shadow over the surrounding neighborhood. The building's presence became a quiet reminder of unrealized potential, leaving the neighborhood with a sense of loss and an underutilized space.
The impact of its condition was felt beyond the structure itself, as the neglected site detracted from the vibrancy of the community and hindered the area’s overall development. The building’s façade, weathered and cracked, and the abandoned interior detracted from the surrounding environment, failing to contribute positively to the area’s development.
However, with a clear vision for restoration, the decision was made to transform this once-neglected structure into a revitalized landmark. The goal was not only to restore the building but to enhance the surrounding neighborhood by bringing new life and energy to the area.
Through careful refurbishment, the building’s façade has been repaired and revitalized, restoring its original character while reinforcing its presence in a positive light. Inside, extensive work has been done to modernize the infrastructure and create functional, attractive living spaces that meet the needs of future residents.
This project is no longer a symbol of neglect but a catalyst for change. By restoring the building, its new life enhances the surrounding community, contributing to the neighborhood’s growth and revitalization. What was once an eyesore is now positioned to become a vibrant part of the local landscape, fostering a renewed sense of pride and potential in the area.
ECO - LODGE @ KUALA SELANGOR
The site is located at “Kuala Selangor Nature Park”, an hour drive from Kuala Lumpur. The area employs land management strategies and systems that protect the environment from pollution and degradation.
For the purpose of the project, an eco-lodge is a generic term used to denote accommodation that meets the philosophy and principles of eco-tourism. It includes tourist accommodation that requires special care of design, construction and operation so as not to destroy the very resources or qualities that visitors come to experience.
This is an experimental project where much information has been gathered with various analysis and tests being carried out. According to the survey, most of the structures inside the park are constructed in timber so that the impact to the earth is reduced to the minimum possible.
Different design ideas are tested to present the resources and structures inside the park. For example: trees, gazebo, walkway and future extension of the eco-lodge. To conclude, the lodges must be built in harmony and under the complicated forest which doesn’t disturb the natural surroundings.
