In the depths of the Gasing hill forestry, twin towers emerge from the rhythms and melodies of the southbound winds. The Estate captures the essence of its natural surroundings, drawing inspiration from a pianoforte for its triangular site design. The twin block towers feature a series of boxed louvres that alternate, creating a dynamic shadow play throughout the day. Each block represents an instrument in the ensemble, standing out as a local visual landmark.
The Estate is a luxurious residential development located in South Bangsar, Malaysia. Tower A has a resort-like atmosphere while Tower B offers a more hotel-like experience. Each unit has private elevator access to ensure privacy. The development spans 3.68 acres and offers 328 units between the two tower blocks, providing a low-density, high-rise living experience with sweeping views of the Gasing forestry reserve and the skylines of Petaling Jaya.
To address the issue of parking, The Estate cleverly integrates the natural slopes into the design of the car park. The environmental and slope constraints posed a challenge, but the effort was worth it to conceal the parking area from view. As a result, the entry to the building has a pedestrian-friendly feel. However, as a multigenerational development, The Estate considers the needs of young adults and provides ample parking, with four parking spaces per unit. The 10 unique unit designs offer ample living space.
The Estate takes an ecological approach to improve residents’ mental and physical well-being and the health of the natural environment. A retention pond serves as a biofiltration system and doubles as a waterfall feature, providing habitats for fish and attracting local wildlife such as dragonflies. This not only enhances the aesthetic for residents but also benefits the wider community.
Additionally, communal areas feature multiple green spaces, such as herb gardens, biofill greenery, and rich landscaping. These spaces provide a pleasant environment for children to play and for residents to take leisurely evening strolls.
In summary, The Estate is a development that prioritizes the well-being of its residents and the environment while offering a visually appealing and ecological living experience in South Bangsar.
