Troika - The Art of Living

The Troika is the stuff of dreams. A dream is to create the city’s most beautiful and desirable condominium, right in the country’s most sought-after location.

The vision required imagination and craft to be realized. And so it was decided to engage Foster and Partners to create a new residential landmark for Kuala Lumpur to complement Caesar Pelli’s Petronas Twin Towers.

Foster and Partners building can be distinguished not only by their drama and beauty, but also by their functionality and the ingenious use of space. Frosters’ approach can be summarised in one word -- detail - born of a passion for architecture and design.

And while aesthetics are of course important, Froster and Partners are equally concerned about the social dimensions of their creations. these are preserne the quality of life and to create places that people wnat to go.

For The Troika, early plans incorporated three towers of varying height emerging from 'The Necklace' - a circular podium of complementary office and retail space. The Necklace frames a landscaped courtyard of 30,000 sq. ft. to provide a calm retreat exclusively for residents.

The architects' priorities were to create beautiful and functional homes, with each one able to take in the beauty of the location, such as KLCC Park, The Petronas Twin Towers and the KL city skyline.

To guarantee the best views possible for each apartment, Froster and Partners introduced the concept of a twisting building - essentially allowing individual floor plans to rotate as the building rises to enjoy KL's most stunning views.

With this objective, Froster and Partners pinned the three towers around dramatic shear walls, giving the development a strong linear character, while also framing views and providing critical shade to individual apartments.

Only then did Froster and partners address the external design. And the result is spectacular- using their signature glass and steel materials and supported by dramatic shear pre-cast concrete walls. The Troika is as beautiful from afar as it is functional from within.

The Troika. Delivering the art of living

Troika is a Russian word for a chariot drawn by three horses abreast. In the last century, the word took on a geopolitical connotation and came to symbolise a powerful triumvirate.
