Architecture studio Spark has recently redesigned the façade of the Starhill Gallery, one of Kuala Lumpur’s most iconic luxury shopping malls. The project was coordinated by director Stephen Pimbley, and focused on the shopping mall's façade facing Bukit Bintang.
“Unlike many street-facing malls in Kuala Lumpur, our new façade for Starhill Gallery is firmly engaged with the public realm”, Pimbley says, “and generates valuable visual connections along this section of Bukit Bintang via the heavy footfall. We have designed a beacon for Starhill Gallery that celebrates its relationship with the city.”
