Located at the intersection of Jalan Yap Kwan Seng and Jalan Mayang in Kuala Lumpur, Star Residences consists of 3 blocks of 57-storey residential tower and 6-storey retail designed to reshape and create a new character to Kuala Lumpur’s urban fabric. The initial planning is arranged to take advantage of the proximity to Kuala Lumpur City Centre through pedestrian sidewalk environments.
Corresponding to the unique triangular site, the 3 tower blocks are arranged to optimise vistas for the residential and commercial units, whilst maximising distances between towers for privacy. It creates a generous 200m long Star Pedestrian Boulevard from the edge of the development to KLCC’s plaza seamlessly. The Boulevard also continues along Jalan Mayang and connects to the KLCC Light Rail Transit station, a mere 4 minutes walking distance.
The 6-storey Signature Retail facing the Boulevard ensures the main pedestrian walkways are filled with activities, whilst the top is landscaped to reduce urban heat island and ensures public and private activities continue to the rooftop from the street.
The façade of the 57-storey residential towers is based on the concept of a “Meteor Shower” interpreted through Mondrian Pattern design with the mixed usage of coloured metal cladding and tinted glass. With strategically designed LED lights, the façade becomes a distinctive contemporary feature that lightens up the towers, portraying an abstract and artistic representation of the Meteor Shower. The car park podium façade comprises of small stainless steel star pieces that move with the wind and playfully reflect the sunlight constantly reflecting and changing colours.
Approximately 100,000 sqft is dedicated to the Lifestyle Facility Floor and Sky Park decks on the rooftop of each tower to enhance the living experience and frame the uninterrupted view of the KL city skyline.
“The integration of retail spaces at ground level not only activates pedestrian walkways but also extends the vibrancy to the rooftop, fostering a dynamic streetscape. The inspired façade concept, drawing from the imagery of a Meteor Shower, is executed with precision through the Mondrian Pattern design, creating a visually striking and contemporary aesthetic. Furthermore, the meticulous attention to detail, such as the dynamic stainless steel star pieces on the car park podiums and the extensive Lifestyle Facility Floor and Sky Park decks, enhances the overall living experience and offers unparalleled views of the KL city skyline.”
