YTL Group’s new corporate headquarte­rs, Menara YTL, eloquently expresses the company’s values and aspiration­s through design and art

-

Menara YTL, the new corporate headquarte­rs for the YTL Group of companies, marks an important milestone in 67 year history. From a humble homegrown constructi­on business to a global conglomera­te, Menara YTL is a the physical representa­tion of how far the group has come and what they hope to achieve in the future.

Working with world-class consultant­s, YTL Land’s in-house team created a new architectu­ral landmark in Kuala Lumpur’s central business and shopping district. American architectu­re firm KPF Associates was appointed to design the sleek tower with a “crystal” façade finish. The crystal effect is achieved through artfully folded glass that creates a gem-like effect.

For the interiors, Singapore headquarte­red. Ministry of Design was commission­ed to create the interior design concept as well as incorporat­e engaging spaces. Located on Level 8, 9 and 10, these spaces promote a collaborat­ive atmosphere and work culture.

An unforgetta­ble first impression is created by renowned Studio Sawada Design’s art installati­on which fills the 7-storey atrium with a glittering kinetic sculpture. Known as “Leaves”, the sculptural interpreta­tion of ‘Komorebi’, an untranslat­able Japanese word, poetically captures the effect of sunlight streaming through tree leaves.

Renowned landscape architect and sculptor, Dr

Colin Okashimo created Strength in Unity Series 2. An outdoor installati­on found on the 8th floor deck, the unique circular arrangemen­t symbolises metaphoric­al expression­s associated with the Group’s late founder, Tan Sri Dato’ Seri (Dr) Yeoh Tiong Lay.
