Architectural Concept by Archicentre
Envisioned by Archicentre, the Setia City Convention Centre strategically resides in the Green Commercial hub of Setia City. Drawing inspiration from the allure of a silver fishing lure atop a city lake, the architectural concept comes to life through a large elliptical metal roof gracefully suspended over a grassy knoll by slender white steel columns. Serving as a formal colonnade, this elongated verandah seamlessly connects the park with the elegant interior spaces.
This intentional integration of indoor and outdoor spaces offers panoramic views of meticulously landscaped gardens and lawns. The design transcends the confines of the convention center, allowing events to unfold in a natural extension, creating a harmonious connection with the surrounding nature. The lush green lawn transforms into a favoured destination, both for outdoor events and inviting the public to partake in leisure within a nature oasis amidst the urban landscape.
Designed with an artistic touch, Setia City Convention Centre not only serves as a haven for MICE events but also embodies a profound commitment to sustainable architecture. Its design represents a seamless integration with the surrounding natural landscape, setting a compelling example of how art and environmental responsibility converge in a singular architectural masterpiece.
Cladding and Coated Steel Selection
The roofing and wall cladding of Setia Convention Centre are a masterstroke in both form and function. The Swissma Doppelwelt® Standing Seam double skin roof system, celebrated for exceptional insulation, especially against thermal and heat factors, significantly supported the centre in meeting GBI certification requirements. The selection of COLORBOND® Steel, certified by the MyHijau Label, not only enhances the building's GBI certification but also underscores its commitment to enduring durability and performance. The chosen hue of off white elevates the modern and contemporary aesthetics of the Setia Convention Centre
Closing thought: A Culmination of Elegance and Environmental Stewardship
In conclusion, the Setia City Convention Centre stands as a harmonious synthesis of elegance, environmental stewardship, and functional design. Representing a commitment to sustainable architecture, it seamlessly integrates with the natural landscape, offering a beacon of inspiration for future architectural endeavours that prioritize both artistry and environmental responsibility.
