The talented designer Koh Hau Yeow has come up with an exclusively green design for the proposed development at Kuala Lumpur City Center (KLCC) park in Malaysia. This is the design for an architectural wonder named TREE OF LIFE @ KLCC. The rich landscape at this location allows for an interactive space between an urban and a natural formation where an innovative design could easily fit in. This creative life tree design is proposed to utilize the flowing area from the park into the construct, thus developing an ecological habitat for the residents while also well-accommodating retail areas, parking facilities and workplaces.
Inspired by ancient mythological concepts, this design is created to be a tree of life that offers nourishment and sustenance to the residents living around this structural monument. It is proposed to be an ecological landmark that towers above the land while blossoming out with its entrenchment into the park. The structure is designed in a way to facilitate movement anywhere across the site, as well as to create a seamless connection with the park using thoroughfares and plazas. For further development, a plaza bridge would be created to thrust into the greens and as an extension to the same, a staircase would be made to directly take up a person from pedestrian tracks to the 7th-floor signature restaurant and gym.
There would be nodal pads spread across the landscaped environmental decks designed for congregation and other activities, and the green links would be replicated here as sky gardens and terraces. The design focuses on harnessing natural daylight in a strategic manner, as well as infusing it perfectly into all voids within this voluminous structure. Full-height glazing cuts off direct glare and heat generation in the interiors of the facade. The building’s sky terraces offer cross-ventilation of air, and its interstitial spaces act as breezeways. There are also proper rainwater harvesting and water recycling systems installed to make the structure greener.
Additionally, there are infused water elements and water-featured walls designed at various places throughout. People may enjoy a variety of fitness and recreational activities at the private sky garden on the 23rd floor that is home to various facilities. The greenery and landscape make the whole structure soothing and lively to the core. The site offers an all-round marvelous view of the KLCC park with wonderful Petronas Towers as backdrop. In itself, TREE OF LIFE @ KLCC aims at becoming an Eco-friendly icon of a communal gathering point, with relaxation and rejuvenation spaces complementing the park’s ambiance.
