DESIGN FEATURES
Distinction between old and new According to architect’s concept, the old was to be retained in all its original glory and be testament to its time and the new must be contemporary and exhibit in its form currently available materials.
Reservation of old structure The existing colonial brick structure were retained in the new building, it acts as a testament to the original quality of the building. And interestingly the only natural timber in the new building comes from reused railway sleepers.

DESIGN FEATURES
To blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor Steel structure and transparent glasses are largely used on the façade of KL Pac that allows alternative visual linkage between indoor and outdoor. It is the architect’s intention to promote the greeneries while users stay inside the building.
Minimum decorative element The new concrete structure is left with its original texture without any finishing and decorative element. This feature is actually the architect’s intention to respond his design to present times.
