Arte Mont Kiara is unique expression and transformation of the typical “local” standard residential typology. The project comprising of two residential towers and a hotel form a ‘crescendo’, a sculpted composition marking this key site in Kuala Lumpur’s residential district Mont Kiara.

At 236m and 58 storeys, the residential towers are complemented by a second skin, a series of fins that provide the 3 buildings with a single homogeneous form: The fins form a diaphanous layer, like the “friction ridge” pattern of a thumb print with loops, whorls and arches. The aluminium aero-foils manipulate the tower envelopes radically transforming their appearance via the unique variation in shapes created by the relationship of the fins to one another.

The podium car park is similarly shrouded with horizontal fins massaging the box of the podium into an exuberant expression of arrival and building address. Arte MK is a playful interpretation of the typical residential typology and when complimented by the client’s “retro French interiors” it becomes an artistic articulation of KL domesticity into something unique and wonderful.
