EDITOR’SNOTE Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019! Change is inevitable – but exactly what lies ahead? Many industry professionals and consumers alike are curious as to what to expect with the new calendar year.

In 2018, the country underwent massive changes that foretold shortcomings we will face this year i.e. the building industry is expected to record slower growth amid revisions of mega projects and the slowdown in construction, as well as the rising cost of living in line with the country’s Budget 2019 that will further dampens consumer spending.

Despite the gloomy forecast, it is still business as usual for many key players in the building industry. Riding on ‘Colour’ the chosen theme for this issue, we bring you the latest news, concepts, new development projects and special features to give your business and investment an edge to stay above the rest.

Additionally, new innovations are being introduced to meet various market needs. Case in point, B&I had a One-on-One conversation with Francis Chang, General Manager of ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions Malaysia Sdn Bhd to learn more about St Guchi TC1100 – the first One-Touch Open Access smart lock in Malaysia. Do check out our Products & Services section to find out more new innovations that are available today.

Last but not least, we put the spotlight on renowned architects who weren’t afraid to use colours in their designs – read all about it in our Concepts & Designs section.

While adapting to change is the common vision for how to move forward, it is advisable to take a step back and reflect on previous happenings.

PROJECTS Artist Impression: More than just a stylish address, 8 Conlay brings the pre-existing concept of luxury living at the heart of Kuala Lumpur to the next level.

C

ome 2021, ‘living it up’ will take on a whole new meaning with the commissioning of 8 Conlay, a lifestylefocused integrated development comprising Malaysia’s first Kempinski Hotel & Residences and two residential towers of YOO8 branded residences serviced by Kempinski, and a retail podium. Launched in early 2016, the freehold project is an inaugural undertaking by KSK Land, the property development arm of KSK Group Berhad.

COLLABORATION WITH WORLD-CLASS DESIGNERS Designed by architect Hud Bakar of internationally-recognised RSP Architects, the architecture of 8 Conlay was inspired two fundamental elements – the number “8”, a tribute to the development’s illustrious address that bears prosperous connotations pointing to the infinite possibilities for success and the element of yin and yang that complements the towers, like two shapes embracing each other in an abstract way – and will have the distinction be certified green by LEED and Green Re. Additionally, 8 Conlay will feature (a) world-class luxury furnishing by multiple award-winning interior designers Steve Leung & YOO (Tower A) and Kelly Hoppen for YOO (Tower B) and (b) world-class landscape design, with green refuge and water lounge, by Pok Kobkongsanti of TROP Studio, American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) Winner.

Bold and moody, deeply indulgent Phantom Night (P1-E1-2) is the perfect hue for a regally dramatic focal wall and comes to life beautifully with Groovy Grape (R1-B1-1) and Oyster Catcher (Y2-B2-3).

The energy of primary blue Winter Storm (B3-B1-2) juxtaposed with textural dark and metallic accessories speak of balance, focus and authenticity.

Upbeat luxury ensues with a playful combination of dramatic Burnt Horizon (R7-B1-1) and gilded Beeswax Candle (Y1-B1-1). Red as the core colour is confident and evokes a person with a love of heritage.

Mahnke Colour is an integral element of our world, not just in the natural environment but also in the man-made architectural environment. While some architects enjoy adding vibrant hues in their designs, some love to dismiss it as being too whimsical or non-serious for architecture.

Here are 7 exemplary architects, both from the past and the present, who weren’t afraid of using colour: ANTONI GAUDI (1852 – 1926) Best known as one of the leaders of Catalan Modernism and Art Nouveau, Antoni Gaudi’s works have a highly individualized, and one-of-a-kind style.

Expanses of creamy pink and bright orange at right angles to each other, a sunny yellow corridor, rust-red running into earthy grey, a solid chunk of scarlet against fresh blue, a lilac wall behind a dusty green cactus – these are a few of the many sights to behold in Barragán’s projects through which he ƐŽƵŐŚƚ ƚŽ ĐĂƉƚƵƌĞ ŚŝƐ ŽďƐĞƐƐŝŽŶ ǁŝƚŚ ͞ƐĞƌĞŶŝƚLJ͕ ƐŝůĞŶĐĞ͕ ŝŶƟŵĂĐLJ ĂŶĚ ĂŵĂnjĞŵĞŶƚ͕͟ ƚŚĞ ƌĞŐŝŽŶ͛Ɛ culture, and the surrounding landscape.
