Nestled outside Kuala Lumpur, the welcome centre cum sales gallery had to attract the market by being different. It plays host to yet another successful development of 136 bungalows and 318 semi-detached homes of a Bali-inspired design concept of the Setia Mayuri development. Once all the homes are sold, the welcome center will be converted into a clubhouse for home buyers residing in the “Balinese” village.

Sandscape and Grasscrete were chosen for their design potential, ease of maintenance and for their durability. Being the showcase and sales centre, both Sandscape and Grasscrete had to be precisely installed with attention to detail.

The car porch is comprised of a 4” thick slab with a layer of wire mesh reinforcement. The randomly sized panels were cleverly placed to create a mosaic of grays and earthy sand to accentuate the versatility and pliability of concrete in any design that the architect can imagine. The expansion joints colours are matched to the colours of the panels.
