Design concept and facade
In ode to the rich cultural heritage of Malaysia and its iconic neighbour,
the Oxley Towers facade is inspired by the intricate art of local weaving to
create a distinctive shape evocative of a thousand diamonds winking in
the skyline of Kuala Lumpur. Dotted with lush sky decks and multifaceted
facilities, the three towers will endlessly dazzle with its daily mosaic of
urban enterprise, unexpected vistas of the city and surprising sights of the
beautifully landscaped KLCC park.
There are two facility sky bridges connecting the three towers. It provides
facilities as well as framing vistas throughout the city centre location.
The towers’ massing becomes a unique iconic statement leveraging on
the location and a vibrant high-end commercial destination, luxury and
exclusive address. A sustainable, high performance & efficient building
which exudes state-of-the-art technology in construction and operations.
The development of the structural system and selection of materials
merge together with the overall architectural façade statement, helping
to reinforce the design concept and resulting in a more economical and
sustainable structure , larger column free areas with greater flexibility for
future occupancies and programmatic variations.
