A Gem of A Gallery

Created as a deceptively simple microcosm of Puteri Harbour, Marina Park Pavilion perfectly captures what makes the development so unique and appealing.

One of the five flagship zones of the emerging local economic zone that is Iskandar Malaysia in Johor, Iskandar Puteri has the added honour of being Southeast Asia’s largest urban integrated development. Envisioned to become the country’s most connected and liveable city by 2025, it has an exciting mix of commercial, industrial, recreational and residential elements that make it an ideal place to work, live and play. While it naturally has its fair share of exceptional projects as a result, it is the award-winning Puteri Harbour that has been hailed as the Jewel of Iskandar Puteri.

Designed to be Malaysia’s introduction to world-class waterfront living, the development capitalises on its breath-taking view of the ocean to deliver only the best experience whether it is a permanent stay or a short visit. Aside from family-oriented residences, it has gained widespread attention for housing several indoor theme parks which are the first of their kind outside of their country of origin such as Sanrio Hello Kitty Town.

It is therefore only appropriate that Marina Park Pavilion which was crafted by DRTAN LM Architect serves as a reflection of all existing and future developments in Puteri Harbour. Just as the development is seen as the jewel of Iskandar Malaysia, the gallery can similarly be considered the jewel box that contains all of Puteri Harbour’s essential elements. Visitors will be able to understand and experience the essence of the entire development just by exploring the massive and craftily designed building.

True to its master development’s prioritisation of sustainability which is also a core principle of DRTAN LM Architect, Marina Park Pavilion is a green space that naturally faces the marina. Its main gallery can be described as being encased almost entirely in glass, allowing for its interior to be appreciated by those enjoying the beauty of the garden outside. Further emphasising its green haven nature are the trees that were planted inside which have holes above them so that they can grow and eventually escape through the top. Last but not least are the Work & Live spaces which give visitors a taste of life in Puteri Harbour.
