| Floor plan -Central Hub |

The brief
for this project asked that the interior of the building reflect the
culture of Malaysia and that the traveller be aware of a distinctive
traditional identity in the context of a contemporary building. Fire
rating, durability, and maintenance were important factors and design
solutions used building materials already allowed for at the planning
stage. After travel and research in Malaysia,
separate floor pattern motifs were designed for each of the four
arms of the building. Each motif grows in complexity toward the
centre as a reference to departure/arrival and the designs reflect
the cultural diversity of the country. The meeting of the motifs
at the central hub references the geographic location of Malaysia
at the crossroads of South-East Asia.
