IT ALL started with a developer’s vision to be different from the norm.
“I wanted to build iconic buildings,” Danny Koek Tiang Kung, executive
chairman and group managing director of DK Group said in a media
statement. And with that, the DK-City master plan development was
conceived with architectural designs that recently won accolades under
several categories at the recent Asia Pacific Property Awards.
To make his vision of creating iconic buildings come true, Koek
engaged world-class architecture firm RDA Harris Architects Sdn
Bhd, renowned as the lead urban design consultant for the master plan
of Putrajaya and and also for the design of multiple award-winning
developments around the world.
Dubbed D’Twist @ DK-City, the mixed-use commercial
development located at Subang Jaya comprises three towers of
varying heights constructed on a podium with four two-storey levels
of commercial space of 400,000 sq ft, which will serve as a shopping
centre. The residential tower block of 80 floors will take the height to
300 metres, making it the tallest residential building in the ASEAN
region.
The three towers are designed to accommodate “small office/virtual
office” or SoVo-style residential and office units. The tallest tower, at
approximately 285 metres, contains SoVo duplex residential units. The
second tallest tower, at 200 metres, has office suites in a duplex layout
while the third tower at 178 metres offers residential studio suites in
a duplex configuration. In total, there will be 300 office suites, 816
residential duplex suites; and 188 duplex hotel suites and 122 hotel
rooms.
D’Twist is the third phase of development within the master plan.
