Sustainable Towers in Malaysia – Awesome Architecture
A stunning new residential development is planned for the Putrajaya waterfront just 30km south of Kuala Lumpur. The design is refreshing and original with unique, marine-inspired structures – which also draw from traditional Islamic designs - arranged in a permeable, radiating block of bioclimatic architecture.
The winner of a recent contest, the design for comes from Studio Nicoletti Associati and Malaysian architects Hijjas Kasturi Associates, who provided the masterplan of Putrajaya.
The goal of the designers was to provide a model for sustainable residential design that was inspired by the city’s unique landscape which includes an expansive artificial lake. The biggest inspiration came from the sea and the entire development resembles a fleet of ships.
The buildings will source from alternative energy and are expected to produce 50% less CO2 emissions than similar residential projects.
