The towers organised in a rational manner sitting over a car park podium are clothed by a second skin, a series of aluminium fins that provide the 3 buildings with a single homogeneous form.

The fins form a “friction ridge” pattern based on the thumb print of the developer. Loops, whorls and arches articulate the form of the towers transforming their appearance created by the relationship of the fins to one another.

The podium car park is similarly shrouded by layers of horizontal fins that engages the building with the ground in a positive expression of threshold and landmark address.

SPARK’s Arte MK: interior space design

The streamlined pattern of Arte MK’s tower fins are a dynamic interpretation of the common local residential typology, the architecture is juxtaposed against the developers “Restoration” inspired French interior”.

Arte MK is an artistic articulation of Kuala Lumpur domesticity, something unique and wonderful.
