Vertices is a new 40-storey tower in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Comprising office and convenience retail with a mid-level recreational sky garden and roof top gallery and bar, the scheme presents a socio-economic response to increasing inner city migration and urban densification. Vertices' architecture is environmentally responsive, drawing its inspiration from the motorcycle engine by employing fins to help dissipate heat away from the building. The building's streamlined profile helps reduce wind loads to the structure while deep reveal floor plates offer sun protection and provide balconies. Planted brise-soleils create outdoor rooms for social interaction with dense foliage providing a visual amenity in addition to acting as a carbon and pollutant sponge. Solar energy will be harnessed to pump water through the building and 50% grey water will be collected from hand wash basins, showers and recycled to irrigate low maintenance vegetation and for flushing WCs.
