If I remember correctly it has already been posted right? Just the same design, except now only one tower.

The sky’s the limit in Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur’s skyline is set to get a new resident - a 65 storey, 268-metre-high mixed use block, which will house hotel rooms, offices and apartments.

The scheme shows the increasing level of investment in Malaysia as a whole, with property in Malaysia proving increasingly popular with overseas investors.

Designed by Ole Scheeren, the architect behind the CCTV headquarters in Beijing, the Angkasa Raya tower is due to be finished by 2016. Rather than being made of a single block, the striking tower will be constructed of three interconnected slabs which twist into spirals. It is hoped that the design will alter the perception of what a skyscraper can be.

The tower’s unique design is deliberately being set apart from other skyscrapers in the hope that it will stand out in the crowded city skyline: “With the Twin Towers [Petronas] in the vicinity, we need a design that can relate to something as strong and as powerful as that,” explained Scheeren, adding that the building would add to the dramatic skyline of the city.

Called ‘The Service Residences’, the scheme will feature a “family of high-end condominiums located in the upper tower block from floor 37 to 64 … and grouped around a naturally ventilated atrium,” according to the developers.

There will be 280 residential units including studios, one to three bedroom apartments and duplexes as well as penthouses. The design also features landscaped gardens.

Wow, that tower is very impressive... First time seeing such a cantilevered building, or is it something else altogether?

D_Y2k.2^ · December 22nd, 2011, 05:11 AM

It is nice but a little too boxy to my liking. But can't comment much till it is completed

Those expert on foundations/piling how challenging is it to come up with a proper plan for such a building?

THT-United · December 22nd, 2011, 02:45 PM

I guess it would be something like this Tuntex Sky Tower in Taiwan, with a hanging-in-the-air middle tower, which is also the tallest one... Although the support for this building is on the two lower ones supporting the center block!

The most challenge part i think is getting load transfer from each block section to the ground. There ll be some series of transfer beam and the column layout changes for different floor use.
