A 10-storey condominium in Kuala Lumpur — two spacious units flanking a central core on each floor. Double balconies on both long elevations open the building to its tropical climate, allowing it to breathe. The generous plans and layered outdoor spaces bring a quiet luxuriousness to everyday life.

The mechanised wooden screens on the facade were carefully studied and tested — rotating panels that modernise the craft tradition of Malay timber work. Together with local materiality throughout, the aim was a building that wears well with time: simple, organic, and rooted in its place.
