Project Summary

We had worked with Puncakdana Sdn Bhd on the D13 (Phase 13) project earlier and when the time came for the development Phase 14 – the client asked us to look into a residential high – rise scheme. The idea was to maximise the build-up area horizontally as much as possible, as this zone had DCA height control limits that did not allow it to be higher than 18 storeys. As such, the most efficient form was the “M” floorplate, which maximised the buildable plot ratio. We managed to fit 574 units into the plot with a total built-up area of 747,987.00 sq ft. The “shape” was also oriented towards the existing shop lots, for the built forms to flow into and then merging into the final phased site.

We had developed the project up to Tender until the client then sold off the company to new shareholders. With the new shareholders we had to give up our role as Architects to Cipta Teguh Architects Sdn Bhd who then took up the role of PSP right up to CCC.
