Make your way through the dense cluster of historic and tourist attractions in Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown and you will find yourself outside the Merdeka @ 118 development which is currently under construction. Once complete, the 118-storey building will house a seven-storey glass-domed shopping centre within its walls, providing a magnet retail destination which will complement its Chinatown surrounds.
The retail strategy of Merdeka @ 118 Mall actively integrates a diverse range of event-based spaces, luxury brands, fashion, lifestyle, dining and entertainment experiences under an expansive skylit dome by Fender Katsalidis, which brings filtered natural daylight deep into the centre of the building.
Buchan has been appointed as Design Architect and Interior Designer for the seven-storey retail podium, working together with GDP Architects as Executive / Local Architects.
