I fully agree with you Choon. I mentioned below in this thread that Mycom/Olympia are well know for screwing things up. Just look at this
ugly Duta Hyatt skeleton.
I have serious doubts if K Residence will ever by realised.

Totally totally agree with that :D

Yup.......who knows how well K-Residence fared in sales? Haven't heard anything from em for quite sometime :(

Thought that half of the unit already been snatched by buyer :?

Even Norman Foster's will be overshadowed! I believe many Malaysians who have been overseas would be asking..aiyah..why KL no 4 seasons..so laoya lah our city...I'm sure now their mouth fully sumbat! :lol:

So, with this one...it will be the tallest residental in KL rite?

For sure! Tallest residential IN THE WORLD! :eek:

This one is way too tall ;)

This one is way too tall ;)

yeah!! this is what Dubai is very fond of building these few years

yeah!! this is what Dubai is very fond of building these few years

Well...i dont see the point why you have to build so many talls building when all you can see is a view of sand miles n miles away n nothing more. No offend. That is from my opinion

For sure! Tallest residential IN THE WORLD! :eek:

If this 70-storey Four Seasons Residential proves to be a success then I believe there would be many more developers that would not be shy to go higher..

There are really way too many nice condos coming up in KL city.Every single one of them look so nice that i wonder which one should i admire more now:P If the 4 seasons is gonna b 340m,probably it may become the 2-3rd tallest Residential tower.

So far didn't see any activities at K-Residence..cross the finger!!

Troika!! ma dream baby.. :drool:

triple-j ^^ yup thats a Foster :okay:

Let's vote..

if u have RM 2 millions in hand, which would u buy? Choose only one...hehe

1) The Troika
2) Four Seasons Residence
3) K-Residence
4) The Avare


I would definitely go for the Four Seasons Residence. :D

The plus points would be:

- Managed by the Four Seasons Hotel group
- next to KLCC, Avenue K and Wisma Central
- next to LRT station
- Get to see Foster's creation :D
- Have an uninterrupted view of the park and the twin towers
- It is SO DARN TALL! :D
- There's a mall below
- There's a hotel next door

And it is so cool to say..... "Oh.....I stayed at the Four Seasons....." :lol:

In fact K-Residence would be a close second choice due to its seemless connectivity with the LRT station and Suria KLCC.....imagine......no matter rain or shine.....there are the tunnels! :D



Why I did not choose The Troika:
- so far from Suria and other malls except Ampang Park
- We wouldn't know what KLCC is gonna built in front of the project in the 3rd phase (potentially a view blocker)
- Located along a crowded Jalan Binjai (you should see that place during rush hour.....traffic along that narrow street is horrible!)
- NO malls attached to it :D
- Have to go thru rain and shine to go everywhere :(



Dats my 2 cents! :D

^^ erm.. change ma mind to Four Seasons boleh tak? after Szes 2 cents..

four seasons! love to live next to twin towers. nice address. skyhigh tower. downside: noise disturbance from live band at klcc n the glaring spot lights on the petronas towers.

^^ guess most expansive apartments like Troika, 4 seasons & etc hav sound/noise resistance glass rite? :?

Makes no difference when we're around, SEED! :dance:

^^ oh yeh! party all night long inda house eh? :okay: wit a "view" hehe!

party all nite long? :dizzy: ...hopefully there is a thick sound barrier wall and floor slabs that can absorb vibration.. ;)

^^ hehe :lol: im sure they'r all sound and vibration prove apartments.. hopefulli..

four seasons! love to live next to twin towers. nice address. skyhigh tower. downside: noise disturbance from live band at klcc n the glaring spot lights on the petronas towers.


Nope.....the downside that you noted wouldn't affect the four seasons at all. ;)

I used to work at Menara Maxis (actually been overnight there before also hehehe) and I can't hear a thing despite being on the 11th floor and Menara Maxis is like so near to Shrooms where the live band usually performed.

Even the Merdeka concert and crowd have no whatsoever noise pollution to the tower and I can't hear a thing. Maybe the windows are closed but then again when you are living in such tall buildings, it is better to close the windows hehehe :D

I could also assure ya that the Petronas lights aren't glaring even to its closest neighbour. They used to switched it on till 3am and Menara Maxis' one switches off at 12 midnite sharp and there are no glaring effect at all. The only glare is when the Menara Maxis lights are not off. IN fact I prefer the twin towers to have its lights on at night as it is so so so beautiful esp being seen from a neighbouring building :okay:

yeah, i also never get bored looking at twin towers, though its off lit. it ll be a nice package to live in 4 seasons. since yr (sze hoong) experience in maxis tower clear my doubts, i think from now, i ll pay more visit to magnum n toto n pray harder. :D

^^ wish u all the best James! dont forget to "belanja" 'k if u strike lotto! :naughty: i too hav to pay more visit to my local newsagent to get more lotto ticket and tips! :runaway:

thanks Seed. You ll be one of my VIP guests in my house opening party at Four season's penthouse... one day..

oh thank u very much James! :okay: who knows.. we might end up living next to each other & become neighbors hehe :lol: if we strikes lotto :lol:

Property Times

There’s no turning back. For as long as developers continue to wring every ounce of profit from their land; for as long as they relish the excitement of doing unprecedented things, our 21st century environment and skyline will be more dramatic. More icons of progress and power, more objects of consummate wonder will continue being built, limited only by the physical constraints of a site, calculations of a computer, market acceptance and taste.

The time is past when the architect was the form-giver who handed an idea to an engineer, whose job was basically to make it stand up. Today, the developer, the architect and the structural engineer, are coequal designers.

For decades, office buildings in the west had set the tone in how to pierce skies using advanced structural technology and safety features. Now, Asia has caught up, with the 101-storey, 1,667ft Taipei 101 tower in Taiwan dwarfing every building in the world when it opened last year.

Race for height

Past record holders in the contest to be the tallest included our fairy-tale Petronas Twin Towers at 1,483ft/88 storeys (completed: 1998); Sears Tower in Chicago, United States, at 1,450ft/108 floors (completed: 1974); Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai, China, at 1,380ft/88 floors (completed: 1998); and Two International Finance Centre in Hong Kong at 1,362ft/88 floors (completed: 2003).

Come 2008, the Burj Dubai tower in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, will soar above everything. At around 2,313ft, the first 37 of its 160 floors will accommodate hotel rooms. At the pinnacle of the US$900 million (RM3.42 billion) building, there will be an observation deck and private club.

To date, 192 piles have penetrated the ground to depths of more than 165ft, requiring over 1.6 million cubic feet of concrete weighing more than 110,000 tonnes.

In this new Skyscraper Age, while the earthbound argue about fear and safety, the reality is that radical advances in technology are quietly urging people to build higher than ever.

Seasoned skyscraper architects such as Cesar Pelli, Lord Norman Foster, Henry Cobb and William Pederson are producing super-buildings on a scale never before possible, leaving the rest of us behind as they ascend into the vertiginous stratosphere.



Targeting the rich and famous



The romance associated with altitude is quickly sweeping across residential real estate too.

In the US, Donald Trump’s 90-storey Trump World Tower in Manhattan, New York City, is the tallest residential structure in the country. The curtain-walled monolithic building offers residents unparalleled views from its floor-to-ceiling windows, as well it should. After all, a 20,000sq ft penthouse with 17ft ceiling height here costs US$58 million (RM220.4 million).

The standard apartments ranging from a studio with 528sq ft to a 2,000sq ft unit start at a more down-to-earth price of US$1,000psf (RM3,800), putting them in the US$500,000 (RM1.9 million) to US$15 million (RM57 million) league.

Among the rich and famous owners of these mansions in the clouds are the world’s richest man Bill Gates, Hollywood actor Harrison Ford as well as an assortment of princes, princesses and ambassadors.

In Kuala Lumpur, the race for height among luxury condominium developers appears to be heating up too.

Bandar Raya Development Bhd’s three tower project in Jalan Binjai designed by Norman Foster (tipped to be named “Troika”) for instance, will make the city’s more traditional residential buildings such as UBN Apartments in Jalan Sultan Ismail look old fashioned when completed three years from now.



Concrete jungle of tall buildings



By the time 2008 comes around, other residential highrises aspiring to stand out by standing tall in the city’s skyline will be:

1) KL Landmarks’ 50-storey K Residences in Jalan Ampang facing the Petronas Twin Towers;

2) KLCC Holdings’ 44- and 45-storey blocks of The Binjai (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=66587&page=1), located along Jalan Binjai;

3) Tan & Tan Development’s 45-storey Cendana (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=167856&page=3&pp=20) on Sultan Ismail at the corner of Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan Ampang; and

4) The Magna Prima and TM Facilities 41-storey joint venture called The Avare (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=172583&page=1) along Lorong Kuda.

These towers will dwarf most of KL Golden Triangle’s new luxury condominiums.

Standing between 31 and 35 storeys will be the Marc (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=82741&page=3&pp=20) Serviced Residences at Jalan Pinang by Beverly Tower Development; TA One and TA Two (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=89876&page=2&pp=20) by TA Properties; and The Meritz (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=144297&page=1) at Jalan Mayang by Tanahnaga, while in the 20- to 28-storey category will be Stonor Park and 2 Hampshire by Beneton Properties; Park Seven by SDP Properties; Suria Stonor by Glomac; Dua Residency by E&O Property Development; and 163 Residences (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=210813&page=1) by Yu Neh Huat.



Emblems of prosperity



With the unprecedented building boom sweeping the city and the pouring in of investment capital for real estate development, building higher than ever is the way it will be in the coming decades.

A towering skyline is an emblem of growth and prosperity for cities while highrise headquarters are symbols of hard-earned worldwide success as well as advertisements for the products and services of many corporations.

The symbolism will continue to fuel competition among developers to build not only the largest and tallest but also the best buildings. Only the sky to them, is the limit.

Anyone of u post this b4? It's dated 19 October 2005...

http://zlgdesign.blogspirit.com/avenue_k/

I dont think so yet.

^^ Great find! :okay:

long time never step in Avenue k, still the same as b4 (no new shops)?

^^ Me also.....I think more than 3 months liao :D

Even if I go also din venture upstairs......only Burger King or Kim Gary :D

I only go to Burger King or Kenny's Roger wor :D

I only go to Burger King or Kenny's Roger wor :D
Last time I was there was in July, went to burger king too. The shopping mall didn't really have that many shops open. Is it different now?

No one seem to know about it now :(

It just shows that people still choose to go over some other shopping malls instead of K Avenue.

Really feel like asking the Avenue K people about their plans!

Positioning it as a center of high class boutique fashion outlets just doesn't work. The management should realize it by now.

They should change their game plan now. May be make it as a KL's premier one-stop high tech electronic, AV and multimedia boutiques/outlets. Who knows may be Apple, Sony and others would open up their flagship stores there. That would be unique!

^^ Yea...I agree :okay: Avenue K's original concept is just too snobbish and it is killing the mall :bash:

Anyway they could always repositioned its target market and branding and still make it niche and upmarket :okay: It just need a lot of work that's all :D

3 words! Weekly Coloring Contest! :lol:

I thought they hired a Hongkong company to manage avenue K. Can someone provide the latest update on new stores/ boutiques and possibly new photos? Thanks.

Saw the news that Hong Kong Land will manage Avenue K June 2005 n there is no Avenue K listed in the web site http://www.hkland.com/home/sitemap.html dunknow what happened also..Could it be they give up Avenue K already?

I will go to Avenue K this Sunday 30.10.2005 for the latest update.

Thanks for the update and new photos. How many floors and stores are currently open? I think they should add some exclusive restaurants or do something unique that will draw the crowds from Suria.

aiyo another star hill in the making!

^^ hope to see more fashion stores like Velentino(there any in KL), ArmaniCollec(i dont think theres any ArmaniColle in SEA.. rite?) and etc.. since AveK look soo lofty..

Went Avenue K last week n saw the food court has opened at lower ground with the name call "Mr Ho Food Court"..I still remembered that there was an article last year saying the food court will be designed by a Japanese guy n it is going to be a very unique food court..Anyone can recall this news? But now they have changed it into a low cost localise food court... :bash:

Pity those who bought its residence units. Hope it would not turn out bad.

The situation would get worst once Four Seasons Center mall open its door. Avenue K has 3 years to buck up and revamp itself.

Quickly go and get the Berjaya Times Square tenants to fill up the spacelah...very feel "Pai Seh" (embarrasement) to see the empty mall with so high class design...since they can get in Toy's rus, Bella..etc n y not consider to get Habib,Kamdar,Speedy,Tomei,Fajar,The Store n bla bla..hehe

if haagen daaz too high class then Lecka-Lecka also not bad..haha

Aiya, just sell the mall to KLCC and let them manage it. Suria is so successful because it has Westfield as its partner. Even the new signatures food court on level 2 looks like the new food courts in the US that Westfield owns.

How I wish it could be managed by KLCC then we probabaly can see other brands like YSL, Agnes B, Missoni, Etro, D & G....(cos KLCC got no space already for the branded store)

I thought Suria is alwyas been managed/consulted by some ducth guys and Westfield is from Australia.
We must check with szehoong about KLCC....he seems to know everything :)

US malls are mostly outdated if one compares to Asian malls. But some canadian malls are ok. I guess those living in US would agree with me :p
My ex-housemate in KL (an apprentice at one of great malaysian eco friendly architect)used to work for the architecture firm in London years back before returning back to New York. He showed me the old designed of KL MidValley phase II when we met for dinner. My first reaction was how could the english able to design a mall for malaysian. Western mall designs are so Asian unfriendly. He absolutely understood my point as he spent 3 years in KL and Singapore. So eventually Mid Valley pahse II goes to Singapore firm. :)
It's still an unbelieveable concept to some european where we live in a big planet mall. Concert hall, art gallery, theatre, science centre, aquarium, dentist, medical centre, rain forest, gym, college, pets, babysitter, plastic surgery,..etc all can be found in malaysian wonder mall!

I think you are totally misinformed. Suria KLCC was designed by an American. Have you been to a US mall? The big US malls are huge and modern. They are trend setters and always evolving. Just look at the mall of America. They are now building Meadowlands Xanadu and it is designed by David Rockwell. You should check out architect firms like Callison, RTKL and Altoon Porter who remodeled Marina Square in Singapore. Bugis Junction in Singapore was remodeled by comm arts of Colorado. The retail portion of CapSquare in KL is designed by an American. Mid valley phase 2 is designed by Eric Kuhne who is an American, check out his website. There are photos of phase 2 posted on the midvalley thread. Westfield has a 10% share in Suria KLCC and they are remodeling and rebuilding all the malls they own in the US. They are 1000 times better than what we have in Malaysia. After you visit a mall in the US, Malaysian malls are no match. Do you know that Sunway pyramid phase 2 is designed by an American firm. I-city in Shah Alam is designed by Jon Jerde (American), the King of retail architect. What makes you say that Europeans and Americans can't design an Asian mall? All the megamalls in China and Dubai are designed by Americans. Why did YTL ask David Rockwell to remodel Starhill gallery?

The concert hall and aquarium is not part of Suria ok. It will be great if Suria had its own aquarium inside. Which wonder mall in Malaysia has a college and medical inside huh??

Do you know that Sunway pyramid phase 2 is designed by an American firm.

Is there any details on this? How does it look like? Any renderings? Does it have the same egyptian-theme as Sunway Pyramid?

Retail complexes cater to shoppers’ lifestyle

In Bandar Sunway, Sunway Pyramid’s expansion is a good opportunity for Sunway City Bhd (SunCity) to get ahead in the lifestyle retail blitz.

SunCity senior managing director Datuk C.K. Wong said the new precinct with trendy streetscape and specialty precincts designed by one of the top American shopping mall architects, Smallwood Reynolds Stewart & Associates, would turn shopping into an exciting adventure.

“The retail areas will be zoned to make them unique and attract the right target groups. These zones such as Marrakesh, Shibuya and Kids Zone will make shoppers feel comfortable within their zone of interest,” he said.

There is no renderings. Should be real nice if it is well designed!

Yeah, I don't know much about KLCC...I've always thought Suria mall was designed by Brazillian architect and managed by dutch team. hehehe.. :)
I think some American designed many great malls for their Asian and European clients. I used to worked in california before silicon valley's recession. My current job required me travel extensively to New York and Boston. I have to say American malls is just so so to me. Maybe America is a huge country so there is no concerntration of great malls in a single city like in asia. Canadian mall are more exciting to me...maybe because of the experience Hong Kong developers. I love shopping in London and paris streets and I love shopping in asian cities particularly their wonder malls. :)

I don't know! :) my german colleague just spent a holiday in m'sia, he told me about the medical centre. But it's true, indeed all of my colleagues enjoy shopping in KL than america..hehehe. ...my recommendation :)

Oh.."MR HO" is a food court actually :? :lol: :lol:

I was cracking my head thinking what the hell is that :D
So cheap.

Dunno what the Avenue K owners are thinking. No brains at all. Want to be high class but cannot even come up with a classy name for the food court. No class at all. No wonder no one wants to open shop there. This mall is doomed!

The concert hall and aquarium is not part of Suria ok. It will be great if Suria had its own aquarium inside. Which wonder mall in Malaysia has a college and medical inside huh??

suria has a medical center called twin tower medical center on level 4.

suria has a medical center called twin tower medical center on level 4.


yea......it used to be called Mon't Kiara Medical Centre and it is opposite Genki Sushi ;)


Which wonder mall in Malaysia has a college and medical inside huh??

Well......The Summit USJ had like 3 colleges in it ( Prime College, Summit International College and the last one I forgot the name already :D ) :D Midvalley Megamall had 2 dental clinics and Alamanda Mall had a clinic.

Post offices are quite a common thing in Malaysian malls. There are 2 galleries in Suria for instance - an art gallery and an antique gallery. A permanant science centre is on the top floor there and of course money changers and bank branches! :)

Malls in Malaysia had become a one-stop centre and malls here are 'more complete' compared to those in North America or in Europe.......

More on Suria tomorrow.....now very sleepy liao hehehehe :lol:

Dunno what the Avenue K owners are thinking. No brains at all. Want to be high class but cannot even come up with a classy name for the food court. No class at all. No wonder no one wants to open shop there. This mall is doomed!

Wanna have a look at this food court ler tomorrow..maybe got a delicious claypot chicken rice :D

Food court for early birds

By ESTHER CHANDRAN

THESE days many more food courts at certain shopping centres open for breakfast.

Uncle Ho's Food Court at Avenue K opens at 7.30am on weekdays and this is good news to LRT commuters especially.

Avenue K Food Court management officer Abdul Rahman Abdullah said the food court was the only one directly accessible from the station along the LRT route.

“We realise that many commuters arrive in the city early especially those who work around KLCC. Now they have a place to go for breakfast,” he said.

To get to Avenue K, commuters have to alight at the KLCC station and turn right.


Uncle Ho’s food court is on the concourse level of Avenue K is just a short walk away for LRT commuters who alight at the KLCC station.
Uncle Ho’s, at the concourse level is just a short walk from the station.

The bright new food court, which opened on Oct 25 features 14 stalls that offer an array of Malaysian favourites.

The selection varies from soupy noodles, rice dishes and stir-fries to the ever popular roti canai.


Curry Mee from the Penang Noodle House is popular with diners at the food court.
Stall Pesta Yong To Foo has steaming hot soup, yong tau foo favourites as well as chee cheong fan while Mamak A1 sells rojak and mee rebus.

For those who enjoy chicken rice, House of Chicken Rice offers Roasted Chicken Rice and the popular BBQ Chicken Rice throughout the day.

There are more outlets selling rice dishes but there’s variety in choice as each sells something different.

For Malay food, the Nasi Padang/Nasi Campur outlet has a buffet line of popular Malay stir-fries, curries and soups as well as sambal belacan and ulam.

Those who enjoy Thai food should check out the Thai Food corner where Thai Dry Chilli Beef and Thai Ikan Bakar and Sotong are some of the favourite items.

At Chola Spice, briyani rice is popular as the dish can be eaten with Chilli Chicken, Stir-fried Cabbage and papadam.

Abdul Rahman said noodles from the Penang Noodle House were a hit with diners.

Besides the Curry Mee, Pan Mee Soup and Assam Laksa at the Penang Noodle House, many of the customers also favour the Curry Mee because of its thick and rich gravy that has just a hint of spiciness.

Another noodle outlet is Sizzling Hot Plate and Claypot stall.

Mr Teppanyaki attracts its customers over for a closer look with the aroma from its sizzling stir-fried dishes that permeate the air.

Although nasi lemak is a popular breakfast item, it is also savoured for lunch and dinner at Nasi Lemak Internasional. It is available in set portions.

The Nasi Lemak with Chicken Rendang, Sweet & Sour Squid and Pegedil for example, is priced at RM4.50.

On a cold day or if you’re just in the mood for some hot soup, Aneka Sup has a variety of soup favourites including Mee Hoon Soto Ayam and Sup Tulang.

There is also a stall for vegetarians at Nature’s Vegetarian Food and Western options at Helius Café with dishes like Hot Plate Chicken and Osaka Fish and Chips.


UNCLE HO’S FOOD COURT, Concourse Level, Avenue K Shopping Mall, Jalan Ampang. Business Hours: Mon-Fri (7.30am-9pm), Sat & Sun (10am-9pm).

I'm hoping it won't ends up like Kotaraya, S&M, Puduraya food court...

It can be....but the place is very clean though ;)

Went there twice already....

Just walked past Avenue-K 10 minutes ago. Yeah looks as if construction is in full swing. Seen workers and cranes moving on one of the towers. I'll post fotos as soon as I can. :)

I stayed at the Nikko Hotel for about 4 days, found a card which had the name "Michelle" on it, hearts all around the name, "Call for me for a good time" type cards, with only a mobile number.

I was quite suprised you could get this sort of service at the Nikko hotel. I thought it would be more of a 2-3 star hotels and motels type services.

Ha..ha...what is the point of having such an expensive condo when you are going to share the lift to your unit with the rest of the shoppers :lol:

ha ha i told u guys once that this going to be another starhill in the making!all the shops are nothing more like showrooms !may be once a year when the arabs come they have customers!but then again the basement level boleh cari makan thanks to the LRT statio
n i almost wanted to rent a stall at the food court, am i glad i did not !the rent was like 7 k a month but the location of the food court is not very convincing it on the other end of the building.

What will happen to Avenue K on 2006? Anyone can predict?

Doom from the beginnning...

Ha..ha...what is the point of having such an expensive condo when you are going to share the lift to your unit with the rest of the shoppers :lol:

Farid..seriously? waa..no privacy at all..reminds me of this hotel at Kota Tinggi where you have to share the lifts with the shoppers..heheheh :D

cant help to think that such a beautiful shopping mall..but very empty..huhu

Yes. It is true :colgate:

Yes. It is true :colgate:

haiya,,buat malu saja..but then..the shoppers there are all these gucci wearing ladies and Zegna wearing guys..( i assumed la.:D )
h..but still..have to share?? hehe..still cant get it.
by the way..how many of the units sold already? any news?

The developer Olympia belongs to Genting Group..how come can like that? It should be something like Starhill already.. :bash:

They put out press reports of how fantastic the mall was going to be and that it was a designer mall. I had such high expectations but look at it now. They should just sell the mall to KLCC or YTL and let the professionals manage it and make it a success.

I wondered why they didn't look for tenants while the mall was under construction?

New mall's are being built everywhere, but I wonder if there is not soon an oversupply of high end malls. I mean especially Starhill and Avenue K target a high end income group. Even with lot's of tourists and growing incomes, there is just a limitied number of Gucci's and LV's justified. You don't need 10 of those as even cities like London or New York are perfectly fine with just one store.

There are lots of boutiques that are not avilable in Malaysia yet. So I think Avenue K should bring in other well known brands but obviously it has failed.

So what kind of stores should be at Avenue K?


Avenue K owners should be ashame of themselves that they can't fill up the mall after it has opened for over 1 year.

But this is not only happen to avenue K. alamanda, hartamas SC, The curve also not fully occupied. All these malls were opened at 2004

How I wish to go to Hartamas shopping complex for a long long time liao!:D

Avenue K

This integrated commercial development comprises of six-level retail podium and two residential towers, avenue K and K Residence. the building’s frontage and access lies on one of KL’s oldest and busiest central roads, dominated by ubiquitous Petronas Twin Towers. Rather than competing with the prominent site context, the designers’ careful, mediated, response seems to enhance its complexities. When viewed from Jalan Ampang, the building engages directly with the street level through a continuous expanse of glass windows. On the upper floors, the cleared glazed curtain-wall is in the process of being thinly veiled by fixed screens. The resulting openness of avenue K’s frontage is a reminder that KL’s introverted shopping centre typology is often literally objective, communicating only logos and signage.

The length of the building stretches almost 100 metres, yet the plan’s curvature heightens the sense of progression through the space so that both ends of the building can rarely be seen from the same point. “The plan makes the external visual context a reductive element. The curvature of the atrium also lends itself to a sense of revelation, bit by bit, as you progress through the space. This makes it smaller, more intimate,” explains principle Huat Lim of ZLG-Design.

avenue K, an 8 level fashion and lifestyle centre is right at your doorstep. This luxurious new retail complex provides a unique shopping experience, numerous restaurants and cafes catering to every taste, an art museum, children's centre, roof garden, gourmet grocer, supermarket and many other services for one stop personalized concierge service, 24 hour valet parking, satellite television, broadband access, a business centre, bar/cafe, crوche, children's playroom, lounge, gymnasium, laundry service, reading room, swimming pool, children's pool, and landscaped communal gardens, as well as special provisions for use of the exclusive spa.

K Residence is one of the three major component of the avenue K development, which also includes a conceptually modern shopping mall, and a service apartment complex. The development is creating a new social hub--KL's Living Room-- where urban lives concierge to create an exciting, dynamic community. Residents will become part of an integrated residential and retail experience at the nexus of international trends and contemporary style.

K Residence provides an impeccably modern framework for that statement, your personal interpretation of the urban dream. Your front door will open into a spacious area with unobstructed views of either the city centre or surrounding mountains, creating a dramatic backdrop for luxury owners maximum flexibility, choosing from options that suit your needs and your sense of taste and style.

ZLG are the lead design consultants for this project. Whilst the development has seen the input from various international consultants.

avenue K's podium facade study and K Residence tower's randomised screens have been a year long design development undertaken and executed by ZLG. Today the aluminium facade is underway to being completed by Shinwa Metals of Malaysia, and the podium is open to retailers and shoppers. The Tower has commenced construction. ZLG desinged 19 plan types for this luxury apartments, due for completion sometime in 2007.

i still believe avenuek can be saved from turning into empty mall. KL can afford or should have another high end complex, if the management has the right people to pull in. Branded boutique opens up at expensive high end mall doesn't need to be profitable neither in operation or sales. Most of these boutiques at starhill are means for making their presence in the country for branding purpose. We may not fashion conscious as advanced as singaporean, but we have the demand for luxury items. Its how the branding awareness can capture into the local market.

^^ it might be empty now.. but maybe in the future.. it can be some kick-butts mall! well.. at least i hope(hope to see Armani Collezioni open a boutique in KL heh).. and r u sure Malaysians r not fashion consious? :lol:

http://www.ameinfo.com/images/news/8/21738-to.jpg

Never expect it grows so fast...go baby go..Avenue K has disappointed us but hopefully K-Residence will not!!

Thanks for the update. I m impressed by the standard of construction on the k residence condo. Rarely in Malaysia can we afford to use such very expensive formwork system as like in the avenuek. These formwork are adjustable to the site condition by self jacking without requires much manpower. Other advantageous of this system is that it’s tidy, simple erection and eliminates construction waste as well as expedites the duration work of a floor cycle.

^^ wats formwork..?? the stuff use in construction?

Hmmm.....apart from KL Tower, I haven't noticed (or should I say I didn't pay much attention at all hahaha) that the formwork being used elsewhere.......I would like to know where else are these used? :?

Apart from k residence, i remembered klcc convention center had been using the similar formwork, and currently I saw another being used in the sunway pyramid extension mall. Both projects are handled by the Suncon. At the pyramid project, the liftcore can ‘jump’ up to 8th level by freestanding, without any attached floor. This is remarkable fast if compare to the conventional formwork, which may usually pose problems like concrete bulging and formwork erection intricacy.



^^ wats formwork..?? the stuff use in construction?
Formwork is a temporary panels used to form any structure element like beam, slab and column. There are two types; conventional and advanced formwork. Conventional is the most preferred here due to the tradition of the industry and the practicality. Advanced formwork is good but requires money, skilled labour and simplified structure shape.

very nice display....very brave to have such a big picture on display in public(?).

^^ This huge 'poster' had been there for quite sometime now........I think a year already ;)

^^ there willl be someone against this pix sooner or later :)

^^ there willl be someone against this pix sooner or later :)

I guess noone's saying anything right now cuz it's in the mall....imagine if it were to be displayed outside. Does it bode well for an "Islamic role model" such as Malaysia to display that? K-Avenue is in the centre of the city, and it is especially in close proximity to the Kuala Lumpur Conference Centre where muslims from all over the world would congregate for Islam-related events, like the OIC. This is a sticky issue as Malaysia is still a country of non-muslims, with muslims accounting for just over 50% of the population. We have to be sentitive to all sides still.

That one is n old poster...
