In this architectural edition, we highlight 

the Kuala Lumpur Architecture Festival 2017 

(KLAF 2017) – one of the main events in 

conjunction with ARCHIDEX 17 in Malaysia. 

This two months festival is one of the 

platform “To promote the advancement 

of architecture and the architectural 

profession for the betterment of society”. 

What powers Architecture will be the theme 

for this year. 

Further on, we bring to you the Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia 

(PAM) annual awards 2017. The PAM Awards is the premier 

award for architecture in Malaysia where it recognizes the 

contribution made by architects in terms of design quality for 

the built environment. Like the Academy Awards of the film 

industry, PAM awards the best works for the year and we bring 

you seven of their most outstanding, including the Building of 

the Year. 

Under Concepts & Designs, we look at the interior and 

exterior aspects of a school – the St. Joseph Institution 

International Malaysia, Tropicana PJ Campus. A school is not 

just a place to study anymore but an environment where the 

buildings inside and outside play a big role in shaping the 

minds, character and the attitudes of the students who spend 

their formative years within them. Judicious use of space, light 

and materials do enhance comfort and encourage learning and 

engagement that is so important for a school. Elsewhere, under 

Landscape – behold The Secret Garden of Legenda, Southbay 

Penang. A prestigious Honour Award winner of the Malaysia 

Landscape Architecture Awards (MLAA) 2016, it beckons you to 

discover it inside.

One Man’s Waste, 

Another Man’s Wealth 

To many of us, rice husks, coconut trunks, oil palm fronds and 

empty fruit bunches are nothing but a pile of residue. But did you 

know that they can be turned into furniture and building materials? 

For many years now, the demand for wood far exceeds the supply. 

The biggest challenge has always been fulfilling demand without 

sacrificing our beautiful forests. Little did 

we know, the things we often regard as 

junk could actually be a solution to this 

problem. Possessing excellent mechanical 

and physical properties, wood made from 

agricultural by-products is not only durable, 

but also highly customisable in terms of 

weight, structure and density. 

We at MTIB are committed in finding solutions 

to make both you and Mother Nature happy. 

With MTIB, your wastes are not wasted. 

MTIB is committed towards enhancing the sustainable growth of the 

Malaysian timber industry through various initiatives and innovations.

Benefits of 

Investing in a

Construction and noise may seem like inseparable 

entities, but as noise-related hearing loss is one of 

the most common occupational health concerns 

anywhere in the world, and construction is one of 

the noisiest occupations, it is time more was done to

Nuisance noise is a

OUTLOOK 

BEYOND BIM: 

What’s next for 

the industry? 

Thomas Phang, Area Director, Southeast 

Asia, Trimble examines the three tech 

trends transforming building and 

construction in 2017. 


Olympic Stadium: Bird’s Nest (Beijing, China). 

Gardens by the 

Bay (Singapore), 

Dongdaemum Design 

Plaza (Seoul, South 

Korea), Olympic 

Stadium: Bird’s Nest 

(Beijing, China), Ngurah 

Rai International Airport (Bali, Indonesia). 

What do these mega-structures in 

Asia have in common? They were all 

constructed using Building Information 

Modeling (BIM) solutions which have 

contributed to their landmark status. 

With a boom in infrastructure 

projects expected in Asia – reported to 

represent approximately 60% of global 

infrastructure spending by 2025 – the 

industry has reason to continue feeling 

optimistic about the future. More 

emerging markets in Asia are aware that 

BIM is critical in achieving this ambitious 

targets too – as of 2014, the Construction 

Industry Development Board in Malaysia 

had invested an estimated RM1.5 

million (USD340,000) on BIM awareness 

programs. 

In Singapore, the BIM adoption rate 

is as high as 65% and the site productivity 

increased to 2% per annum for the last 

two years. It’s hard to deny the benefits 

of BIM – increased visualization allowing 

for better resource allocation and greater 

accuracy when planning for future rework, 

which ultimately yield increased efficiency. 

With the utilization of BIM technology 

fast becoming the industry standard, it 

is well worth looking into other future 

construction trends, and tapping on to 

them in 2017. From new construction 

techniques to project management 

solutions, they are forces to be reckoned 

with – sooner rather than later. 


OUTLOOK 

Gardens by the Bay (Singapore). 

1. Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) 

With massive urbanisation comes a greater need for more sustainable BIM data 

management and construction. In addition to BIM offering better ways of working, 

DfMA makes data exchange at the earliest stages of a project, a priority. This allows for 

error-free communication and streamlines collaboration throughout the construction 

lifecycle. 

The implementation of DfMA simplifies the planning phase by transforming the 

traditional, siloed industry into one that encourages effective business collaboration. 

By integrating processes covering the entire construction workflow – from structural 

design to manufacturing to site – BIM system would empower architects, engineers, 

general contractors, subcontractors and suppliers to make decisions anytime, 

anywhere. 

In the UK, the adoption of DfMA has been identified as a game changer in achieving 

the UK Government’s Construction 2025 blueprint which spells out targets for the 

construction industry – 50% faster delivery and 50% lower greenhouse gas emissions – 

in the next decade.

2. Prefabricated and Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) 

Remember the fun of playing with Lego blocks? Well, PPVC uses a Lego-like assembly 

method to build structures in a modular fashion. Depending on the complexity of 

projects, PPVC processes have the potential to improve onsite productivity by up to 

50% thereby reducing the amount of labour required on-site by as much as 25 – 40%. 

The speeding up of construction not only brings cost benefits but also a more 

sustainable and environmentally friendly future. As more activities are done off-site, a 

reduction of environment pollution and an improvement of site safety can be ensured. 

From residential developments such as The Wisteria in Singapore to mixed-used 

integrated building, the usage of PPVC is gaining traction. 


Dongdaemum Design Plaza 

(Seoul, South Korea). 

Industry regulators are also 

beginning to recognize that efficient 

technologies such as PPVC is 

revolutionizing the way we build. In 

Singapore, Government Land Sales 

project regulations stipulate that at 

least 65% of the total constructed floor 

area of the building must employ PPVC. 

This regulatory requirement offers 

flexibility and systemization of PPVC 

design for buildings under construction 

and even provides maintenance 

guidelines for existing buildings.

3. Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) 

With construction and demolition 

waste in the UK amounting to as much 

as 100.23 million tonnes a year – 

largely due to fragmentation and lack 

of interoperability between tools to 

share information between project 

participants – the construction industry 

needs to adopt a more integrated 

approach between multi-disciplinary 

stakeholders. 

As its name suggests, VDC 

integrates various phases of a 

project and allows all stakeholders 

to collaborate virtually. Often a part 

of a mixed reality solution suite for 

construction site safety planning, 

inspection, and analysis, VDC 

essentially improves collaboration, 

project transparency, leading to time 

and cost savings. 

It is also said to have the potential 

to transform work processes to the 

extent of improving productivity by 

over 20% compared with conventional 

methods of construction. In effect, it 

enables you to rehearse in a virtual 

environment before the actual physical 

construction starts!

NEXT GENERATION BIM SHAPES CONSTRUCTION’S DIGITAL FUTURE 

PPVC, DfMA and VDC are exactly the kind of new technologies that the industry is looking 

for and are available without huge investment. However, it should be noted that leveraging 

BIM technology across the value chain is still integral to reap the full potential of the abovementioned 

technologies. For example, an integrated BIM-VDC or BIM-DfMA approach will 

support a truly digital model to drive production planning and automation. 

The introduction of such lean construction thinking streamlines work processes and 

makes way for further digital collaboration and innovation. Digitizing project management 

workflows has substantial benefits. Its greater use in the construction-planning process and 

on the construction site itself will enable firms to gain insight into advanced analytics of 

construction projects which can help to improve efficiency, timelines, and risk management. 

Today, regulators such as the Building and Construction Authority in Singapore and the 

Construction Industry Development Board in Malaysia already playing an important role in 

defining new standards for emerging technologies (at least in public projects). Now the onus 

lies with the industry to develop digital roadmaps and train the next generation of building 

and construction experts to be adept at these digital technologies and solutions.

Swissma & Bluescope 

A Lasting Partnership 

Throughout The Years 

Established in 1997, Swissma Building Technologies Sdn Bhd harnesses the expertise of 

European technologies to provide customers with a premium roofing and wall cladding 

solution. Innovative and engineered with precision, Swissma’s building solutions are 

designed to conquer lofty challenges. 

As a leader in the high-end roofing segment, Swissma provides customized solutions 

and has earned an illustrious reputation in the field. It was the first company in Malaysia 

to secure FM (Factory Mutual) approval for the metal roofing and cladding. FM is a thirdparty 

testing and certification service that is internationally recognized and respected. The 

rigorous certification process is backed by stringent scientific testing ensuring that products 

will be able to perform under the toughest conditions. 

Another noteworthy accolade was when the company was awarded the BrandLaureate 

BEST BRANDS Award for 2 consecutive years from 2015-2017 and the President’s Award in 

Manufacturing Steel Roofing in recognition of the high quality of services provided. 

While delivering on the company’s promise of quality, Swissma’s partnership with 

BlueScope has proven to be a strategic move that has greatly benefited both parties. 

By utilising coated steel products from BlueScope as their only choice of steel material, 

one can be rest assured of the durability and versatility of Swissma’s products and solutions. 

An award-winning partnership: Mr Low 

Ping Hing (General manager of Swissma) 

& Mr. Pongsak (Country president of NS 

BlueScope Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei) at 

Brandlaureate Awards 2016-2017. 

Clean COLORBOND® ULTRA Steel for The Record Winning Lexis Hibiscus Port Dickson 

One of the iconic projects that demonstrated the exceptional partnership between 

BlueScope and Swissma was the Lexis Hibiscus Port Dickson. Situated above the crystal 

clear sea of Port Dickson, this five star resort won the Guinness World Records for 

having the most number of swimming pools and overwater villas in a single resort. The 

project required the installation of barrel-vaulted roofs for 521 chalets built over the sea 

which needed extremely meticulous planning to ensure that installation would proceed 

smoothly. With its renown technical expertise and proven track record in delivering 

solutions for architectural challenging designs, Swissma was appointed to provide the 

roofing solution for this project. After thorough research, Swissma’s Zipwelt Standing 

Roof was determined as the best solution to meet the architectural and engineering 

requirements for the curved roof design. All roofing sheets were delivered to each 

villa with a custom trolley and manually lifted onto the roof. The constant exposure to

severe costal and marine environments also meant that the material needed to be able 

to withstand harsh and corrosive conditions. Yet, this was overcome by producing the 

roof using Clean COLORBOND® ULTRA Steel which consist of AZ200 coating class with a 

ZINCALUME® steel base and BlueScope’s proprietary Super Polyester Paint System provided 

optimum protection. The combination of the right material, roofing profile and excellent 

workmanship is a proven success for this stunning icon to last beautifully for many more 

years to come. 

Clean COLORBOND® Steel for The Colourful Setia City Convention Centre 2 

Located at Setia Alam, Shah Alam, the Setia City Convention Centre 2 opened in November 

2016, offering an additional 5700 square metres of event space to the vibrant and emerging 

commercial hub. This project was completed in the record-breaking time of 9 months 

which was the result of well-coordinated project management and the right choice of 

a roofing system. With Swissma’s Sanko Grip Deck® 3-Pan, a double skin roof system 

which allowed the ground construction work to progress simultaneously while the top 

skin roofing was being installed, a substantial amount time was saved. Furthermore, the 

double skin roof system also provided optimal insulation performance to meet the acoustic 

requirement of the Convention Centre. Yellow, green, black and white roofing and wall 

cladding are interwoven with each other giving the convention centre its signature look. 

The fixing method and the interfacing details at the roof and wall cladding were carefully 

devised to be secured, neat and prevent any leakages. The interweaving of colours was 

inspired by an organic caterpillar effect with its identifiable geometric shapes on the roof 

and facade. Owing to the wide colour selection of BlueScope’s COLORBOND® Steel, with 

its proprietary super Polyester Paint System, the building exterior remains stunning with 

colour being able to last longer against the elements

Swissma and Bluescope’s commitment to excellence 

Premium quality materials such as COLORBOND® and ZINCALUME® are Swissma’s only 

choices when it comes to coated steel for roofing and walling. BlueScope’s commitment 

to innovation and superior product performance is aligned with Swissma’s vision. 

These common principles shared by both parties is the secret to a continuous business 

partnership that lasted 2 decades. With reputable brand names built up together over 

the years, excellence is a guarantee when it comes to providing improved solutions to the 

building and construction industry in the region.

AN INTERIOR 

TO SPARK 

‘HARMONY IN 

DIFFERENCES’ 

St Joseph Institution International Malaysia, Tropicana PJ, sports an 

environment that is conducive for study and to foster communication, 

leadership, respect and discipline. Santa Fe Interior Architecture Sdn Bhd 

designed an interior to mould behaviour according to the client’s brief. 


Concepts & Designs DESIGNS 

School is not just a place 

to study anymore. It is an 

environment in which our 

children spend the best 

period of their lives. It 

shapes their character, and 

forms who they are going 

to be in the future. School now teaches 

our children communication, leadership, 

respect and discipline besides anything 

else they are taught. Here they learn to be 

confident, honest, kind, passionate and 

happy. And that is the environment we 

designed for the future youth of ST Joseph 

Institution International Malaysia. 

Our client’s mission, values and goals of 

bringing the young generation together 

regardless of race, religion and nationality 

under one roof for equal education and 

positive attention inspired us to create the 

concept of “The Pathway to Unity” for the 

interior design of the school. 

HARMONY IN DIFFERENCES 

This concept led us to the design direction 

of “Harmony in Differences” and we 

applied two main elements: United 

Language of Colours and United Notion of 

Rhythm. 


We created a rhythmic system for 

certain simple elements all around the 

campus interior. These elements are 

incorporated into walls, area separators, 

railings, ceiling design, floor pattern and 

even in the colour patterns for corridors 

and hallway areas. 

THE PULSE OF ENERGY, PASSION, 

VIBRANCY 

All the main areas in this campus 

showcase the school’s characteristic − 

the spirit of energy, passion, vibrancy 

and unity. In the library, specially 

designed bookshelves, seating, study 

tops, individual and group study areas, 

as well as creative features are there to 

encourage students to study, interact 

and work in groups. The vibrant colours 

and smart selection of materials not only 

complement the design and features in 

the library, but also provide sufficient 

acoustics for the area. 

The offices, staff lounges, meeting 

and board rooms, and corporate lounges 

at level 6, all carry out the same design 

motif of sophistication and formality, but 

at the same time, they follow the overall 

concept of the whole design. 

Classrooms also follow the open 

design following the latest global 

education method for this age group. 

The spacious areas are filled with ageappropriate 

colours, furniture and 

features designed to host plenty of 

storage space and equipment cabinets 

for teachers. All classrooms or any other 

teaching spaces are equipped with Smart 

Projection system and speakers, pin wall 

and full height writing walls for easier and 

more fun learning for students. 

DINING ENVIRONMENT 

Even the dining hall was requested to 

be designed based on certain values. 

Children must not feel they are eating in 

a canteen, they should feel like they are 

in a dining hall. Students should feel the 

need to be appropriately-dressed and 

bearing the right conduct when entering 

this space and follow socially-acceptable 

eating manners. 

The interior design of this school has 

been crafted to accommodate the need 

for group interaction as well as individual 

space, showcasing the school’s character 

as well as its mission, vision and values. −

AN EXTERIOR 

FOR BUILDING 

RELATIONSHIPS 

Designed by Veritas Architects Sdn Bhd St Joseph’s Institution International School 

Malaysia Tropicana PJ Campus focuses on the school’s values of fostering relationships 

and the spirit of interaction. 

The site’s 2.4 hectare land is gently sloped with a 

slight depression towards the north east. With a 

total built-up area of about 27,900sqm, the School 

is able to cater for approximately 1,800 students 

from K-12 years with a teacher to student ratio of 

one to 15. 

The design approach focuses on the institution’s 

core values which is people-centric and in which relationships are 

highly valued. The spirit of interaction is expressed in the open-air 

design of the link-ways and open corridors that connect each block 

of the whole complex at every floor level. This open gesture allows 

for large congregations of people and becomes the central feature 

of the School. 

The main entrance is an open portico situated at the 

Administration Block. It is flanked by two wings that house the 

general administration offices, a library that spans two floors and 

the International Baccalaureate lounge and classrooms. Open 

corridors and staircase link all of the spaces, emphasising the close 

connection to external open spaces and educational programme. 

Study pods inside the library protrude out from the 

Administration Block’s curtain wall façade facing the soccer field, 

creating a welcoming gesture as one enters either one of the two 

main entrance gates. There is also a link bridge that allows direct 

access from the Administration and Multipurpose Blocks to the 

assembly point, right at the northern end of the soccer field. 

A sports hall, three storeys high, is housed within the 

Multipurpose Block, which is adjacent to the Administration 

Block. Multicoloured aluminium panels adorn the facades of the 

Multipurpose Block that faces the 50m-long outdoor swimming 

pool. Similar multicoloured panels, representing the meeting of 

various cultures, are also installed on the external curved façade of 

the Preschool Block. 

Wide corridors that open out to the external spaces at each 

ends create circulation spines that link the Academic Blocks with 

the other blocks at every level. The openings are designed to allow 

for natural ventilation throughout the length of the corridors. The 

upper level of the rectangular-shaped Academic Blocks houses the 

formal and conventional learning spaces that include classrooms, 

laboratories and general offices. For the primary level learning 

spaces, classrooms are designed to be without dividing walls, thus 

allowing seamless integration of learning experience. 

The half-round shape of the Preschool Block, on the other hand, 

carries playful ambiance that reflects the spirit of youth. The curved 

external façade of the preschool block is finished with aluminium 

panels of various colours. A half-round covered courtyard sits in 

between the Preschool Block and the Academic Block. Here, an 

indoor playground is put in place to serve the preschool classrooms. 

The lower part of the Academic Blocks and the Preschool Blocks 

contains the informal spaces or facilities such as a dining hall, an 

auditorium and the Institution’s Mission Room. Other facilities 

include an outdoor basketball court, an outdoor tennis training 

court and an outdoor playground. − Veritas Architects Sdn Bhd

Landscape 

THE SECRET 

GARDEN 

Cradled within the resort bungalow enclave of Mah Sing’s 

Legenda@Southbay, Penang, a Secret Garden beckons. It 

lies around the Residents’ Clubhouse and it is filled with 

wild and matured trees, speckled by pole lights around 

meandering jungle trails and flecked by cage shelters 

that provide elevated vistas of the surrounding wooded 

countryside leading to the sea. The lavish landscape is by 

Landart Design Sdn Bhd. The firm won an Honour Award 

at the recent Institute of Landscape Architects of Malaysia 

(ILAM) Malaysia Landscape Architecture Awards (MLAA). 


Legenda@Southbay is a residential property project by 

Mah Sing Group located in Batu Maung, Penang. The 

luxurious development consists of three and four storey 

resort bungalows in a gated and guarded community. 

Legenda@Southbay comprises 76 hillside 

bungalows with built-ups from 6,460sq ft. Each unit is 

fitted with a lift and a private swimming pool. 

DESIGN APPROACH 

Nestled atop a cascading hillside; the landscape architect saw this 

as an opportunity to link the residences with the existing terrain. 

With thoughtful planning, the idea of a clubhouse at an elevated 

vantage point was developed to allow residents a breathtaking view 

on the “Pearl of Orient”, accompanied by a dramatic and inviting 

walk along the existing natural slope. Native plants were arranged 

strategically to soften the existing granite terrain as well as to 

elevate the architectural characters of Legenda@Southbay.

PENANG’S SECRET GARDEN UNCOVERED 

The hidden garden in Legenda@Southbay, is situated close to the 

sea and cushioned by lush greenery. Strong sea breeze coupled 

with mature greenery emphasizes a truly tropical sanctuary. This 

secure enclave is lavishly landscaped with a 2-acre park that is not 

shy of feature shelters and boardwalk. 

Driven by its surrounding nature that forms an enclosed space, 

the landscape strategy for Legenda@Southbay is towards its hidden 

garden concept, where the design learns from the natural wonders. 

Landart Design incorporated illumination at night by signature 

antenna pole lights, inspired by sensory antennas of an arthropod. 

The Resident’s Clubhouse is enveloped by jungle trails where cage 

shelters provide elevated vista from different heights. Thus, a walk 

in the park is transformed into an enriching activity. 

The stairs leading to the hidden garden. 


DESIGN INTENT AND CONCEPT 

Nature and the Insect’s Antenna 

CLUB HOUSE – FIRST STEP INTO THE FOREST 

Walking through the forest is as exciting as any adrenaline sport, 

as calming as any meditation, as chaotic as any city-scape 

and can cure the mind as effectively as any therapy. 

Both internal and external, life can be heard in 

birdsong, its shelter can be seen with its 

trees, and leaves the colours of nature 

can be touched. 

Designated with nature inspirations, the insect’s antenna is the 

lighting structure derived from amazing creatures that share and 

inhabit the existing site such as bugs, grasshopper, moth, spiders 

and ants. These antennas vary widely in form and are typically 

sensory organs. The exact nature of what they sense include 

touching, air motion, heat, vibration (sound), smell and taste. 

PEACE OF MIND 

Security is enhanced with full perimeter fencing and a unique 

entry guardhouse. An understated garden style entry welcomes 

residents. Lush landscaping at the entrance is designed to relate 

sympathetically to the natural green settings. Drainage and roads 

are planned at a gradient close to the natural terrain. 

PRIVATE POOL 

The personal pool ensures convenience and interrupted enjoyment 

of all within the comforts of home. 

2-ACRE REJUVENATING PARK 

Where Ecocentric meets Biocentric in the overall design approach 

Biocentrism is “a kind of ethics of individualism” in that it 

emphasizes the value, rights, and survival of individual organic 

beings. Ecocentrism, on the other hand, takes a more holistic 

approach, giving moral priority to species and ecosystems rather 

than the individuals that compose them.
