Ilham Tower brings together a variety of spaces for living and working in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, all within the compact footprint of a 58-storey high tower. The challenge of designing such a significant new high-rise scheme was to relate to the large, urban scale, as well as in detail. The tower’s geometry is driven by the need for flexible, column-free spaces to accommodate its mixture of functions. Its form is equally shaped by the climate and urban context – the diamond-shaped plan increases the living spaces with views of key city landmarks and the facades tilt away from the morning and evening sun to reduce solar gain.
