The Trumps

Architect: W Architects
ID: W Architects

Located in the east of town, Kembangan, we have another sleek high-rise residential from W Architects. Articulated with clean lines and details, the building stands out as a designer apartment in its own right...

An early contribution under the guidance of chief design architect and director of the firm Mok Wei Wei, the building is striking with its series of aluminium fins and clean glass facade, i.e without the bay windows that is so typical of local residential developments.



I like how the building is expressed, with its mullion design clearly accentuating its height. The divisions are regular with one large window and 2 smailler ones for instance, and lining up all the way from ground to highest floor. The horizontal fins compliment and complete the clean glass facade.


The details are executed well, right down to the handrails and the landscape elements. Definitely having a look if you around the area. A modern development from the same firm that designed Paterson Edge and Aris (also called the Rebirth of Paterson Edge!), which brought them instant fame and recognition.
