Located in the heart of kuala lumpur foster + partners have recently completed 'the troika', a twenty-first century response to high-density living and working in malaysia's most populated city. comprised of three towers that are 38, 44 and 50 storeys high, the structures include 230 apartments, offices, shops and restaurants organized around a pedestrian courtyard.







Slender precast concrete shear walls, arranged to maximize views and interior programmatical flexibility support subtly rotated housing blocks that shade one another and benefit visually from the surrounding cityscape. a massive curtain wall system comprised of low-E glazing and balcony overhangs help to reduce heat gain in the interior. The off-site construction methods of the primary structure also greatly reduced timber construction waste.
