COMPLEX SOLUTION. Kompleks Kerja Raya 2 is a 6-block office complex on a 1 million sq ft site. The aim of the building is to accommodate the growing number of staff and to create a centralized working space for JKR. The development seeks to uplift the image of JKR and regenerate the existing blocks on site. The KKR2 Tower is part of the first phase of the whole complex development.
Located strategically along Jalan Sultan Salahuddin, Kuala Lumpur, KKR2 Tower is a 37-storey office tower standing 210m tall with a 7-storey elevated car park podium. The fluid tower requires both exceptional construction and design methods to execute its complex geometry. With a triangular footprint that tapers upward into a leaf-shaped roof at the top, the verticality of the tower is enhanced by introducing external fins to the building's envelope. The intricacy of the facade treatment with alternate glazing modules offset in and out, not only acts as a natural sun-shading device but also accentuates the building's curvature, expressing a jewellery cut effect.
This 51,516sqm office tower has 37 unique floors where each provides a non-typical office space planning. Structurally, the tower sits on a bored pile and caisson foundation with 21 slanting columns per floor slab. Each individual concrete column is unique in size and shape.
Aiming to achieve a green building status under the Green Building Index, the KKR2 Tower will feature rainwater harvesting and energy efficiency fittings into the building. There will be special monitoring service systems incorporated into the building and to maintain a sustainable life of the building, users will be encouraged to be proactive in keeping the building green for a healthier working environment. The tower is set to create an exemplar for other future buildings.
