Our team worked with Royal Selangor management and product design team not only to evolve the architecture of the new buildings, but also the detailed design and documentation of every exhibit. The architectural concept defines a spine running through both new and existing buildings so as to create a continuous customer flow and a dynamic axis which links all of the buildings. The roof structure which commences at the entrance atrium penetrates through the existing office building and arrives at the factory showroom visually leading the visitor through the spine as the story of Royal Selangor is unveiled. Finally visitors are brought to a large retail space where they are invited to purchase products. The showroom is at the end of the visitor experience but by virtue of the physical links between space at upper and lower levels, the customers are always aware of the retail presence below as they explore the visitor centre at the upper level. The use of structural steel elements for the atrium and the bridge which penetrates through the existing building, together with the light weight metal roof structure, creates an elegant form whilst the suspended glazing system at the atrium provides a light contemporary space for public functions. 36 retail retail 37
