Point92 is a new mould, we are
investing quality time to develop this project in terms of its iconic
functionality as well as its premium as an office development. The building is located
very prominently in a prime area in the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. The external wall
elements are made from marine ply, glass and modular cement boards sealed
within a black steel framed window structure. The anticipated target
gross floor area is around 140 000 sq.ft.
Point 92 is aptly named after the land area due to the very tight site, which is just under an acre. The client sought out to do an iconic building to draw investments into their real estate. The project is located right across from an elevated road and looks out from a cliff into a residential precinct.
Point 92 is about blurring the territory between residence and office environment. the volumetric shapes carved from inside the shape of the building gives variation both in terms of spatial organisation internally as well as aspects of views out from within. Each compartmented space has its own unique features, internal bridges, voids and double height ceilings etc compound into a complex but integrated whole.
The arrival experience is one of walking through a body of water filled with lemon grass and weedy plants, linking the drop off point to lift lobbies that rise directly into the offices. The underside of the structure is simply a white reflective surface that pick out water movements from the landscaped pools and so forth. at night we contemplate the options to light up this undercroft space or soffit to give the surreal feeling of a floating box. The facade is compose dof 50 % glazing and the rest is of wooden panels or cement boards. the checkered and patterned facade allows for deep daylight penetration into the building plan. The block is supported off a minimum number of columns to express a generous and unobtrusive views of the landscape beyond. The podium structure consisting mainly of car parks will be greened on the edges to resolve the connection of this building to the ground.
