[B]Putrajaya Commercial Complex[/B]

Putrajaya Commercial Complex

Information
The “Astana” Business and Commercial Center.

The concept of the Astana is to position Putrajaya as a Business and Commercial hub located at the core Island.
“Astana”, a Malay word which translates as Palace, and in our design we envisioned this development as a Commercial and Business Palace of Putrajaya.. It would also be a Jewel on the boulevard, which would be a growth catalyst for other such development in future.

This building centers on a landscaped courtyard, which allows both internal and external views. The development is broken up to 3 building blocks of various heights. The two low-rise blocks are 9 and 7 levels in height and was intentionally designed as flexible business suites, which can be partitioned. Once partitioned it can either be rented or sold by strata. The ground floor units were purposely designed for retailers or for outdoor cafes. These ground floor units will have dual frontage, facing the boulevard, side road and the internal courtyard. The 17 levels Tower building could also be used as Business Suites or if required as a whole office floor. The floor area of each of these floors is approximately 608 sq meters to 672 sq meters per floor. This development has two entrances. One entrance is dedicated to the tower block and the other faces the Boulevard. However, these entrances are directed into the courtyard.

The open landscape courtyard, which opens itself to the surrounding building levels, is an important feature. It brings light, air and greenery into the building and allows the building to be sensitive to the tropical climate. At the courtyard level, the vast landscaped open space is designed to promote casual interaction between users of the building. It is also an identifiable space that connects the otherwise 3 separate buildings together.

Architecturally, the modern outlook of the building is sensitive to the local climatic conditions. We introduced various sun shading devices that cut down on direct sunlight but at the same time do not hamper the panoramic view of Putrajaya.
