Starhill Gallery is one of KL’s destination shopping malls featuring an extraordinary array of luxury shops and fine dining restaurants. Sparch's proposal deals with the reinvention of the facade of Starhill facing Bukit Bintang. Unlike a lot of street facing malls the facade of Starhill is predominantly solid and disengaged from the heavy footfall of shoppers walking along Bukit Bintang.
The design is to simply open up the facade to provide a lot of visual interest with a continuous double height shop front along its length. At the road intersection the existing temporary eatery is removed and replaced with an iconic triple height shopping pavilion for the French luxury retailer Chanel.
The design of the new facade and pavilion embodies the quality of the products for sale at Starhill, the lightweight steel and glass facades will be the first of their kind in Malaysia embracing cutting edge glass technology and with specialist engineering by the team that delivered the Pyramid at the Paris Louvre. The crystalline form of the new facade and the Chanel pavilion establishes an iconic new identity for Starhill Gallery reaffirming its position as the foremost destination for luxury shopping in Southeast Asia.
