SITED ON A 1.6-hectare plot adjacent to
Tasek Indah along the length of Jalan Indah
in Section 14 Shah Alam, Laman PKNS,
the new headquarters of the Selangor State
Development Corporation, will stand as
the centrepiece of the state’s administrative
capital for reasons more than architectural
form and function. From cantilevered roof
to expansive grounds, it is designed, by
Veritas Architects, to be “progressive and
dynamic, transparent and permeable and
environmentally responsive” and in harmony
with its natural surround. With international
environmental design and engineering
consultants Neapoli on board, Laman PKNS
is poised for GBI (Platinum) rating, for
energy and water efficiency, lighting control
and more – green features aimed at reducing
operating and utility costs, enhancing
productivity, promoting occupants’ health
and comfort at a “sustainable site.” Quite
