The MET is an integrated office building that combine the needs of modern business with a modern urbane lifestyle, a home for businesses. Modern business are intrinsically skill and knowledge based that allow the organisation to be flexible and growth to be organic; with work spaces and work specialisation overlapping each other. Thus, The Met provides relatively smaller and flexible office spaces that allow the spaces to change and grow with your business.
The concept of flexible office spaces preclude least used spaces that are best shared. These spaces are provided in a garden environment at the podium deck level as support services for your business. The MET has a business centre with a boardroom and meeting rooms, an auditorium and a function room.
The Met extols the ideal of the third space, a space that bridges between the effort of business and the calmness of nature. This ideal is brought forth when The Met digs itself into the hillside, creating a tree covered crater from whence the two office towers rise up. It is then introduced through the approach that welcomes you with an enigmatic experience which combined the sophistication of urbane architecture with the serenity of greenery.
The approach climbs a ramp into the crater and ends in a cul-de-sac, flanked by tree covered earth embankments that slopes up. The cul-de-sac then sweeps underneath the building to a cavernous drop off. The MET signage at the center of the cul-de-sac is affixed to a boulder-like sculpture, as if recently loosen from the earth. The experience of the approach is like driving through a gauntlet of trees, deep in a valley far away from the city, only to turn under a cliff to be received by an edifying glass and steel lobby of urbanity.
This ideal is concluded by a languishing drive exit, flanked by a duet of the two different elements; the urbanity of the tower and the pastoral greenery of the tree covered cratered hillside. From the cul-de-sac, the exit drive is equally pleasing as it rounds the rear of the building, almost skimming the trees as the hillside rises sharply from the drive. There is time to enjoy the drive before the road ramps down to the exit, giving the impression of driving through and down a mountain forest road, far removed from the city.
The MET concerns itself with maintaining a proper Work-Life balance as an extension of the idea of the third space. Towards that end, The MET has a garden deck area which is the third space to connect with nature for relaxation and stress alleviation. It also has a gymnasium on the same floor that goes towards promoting a healthy living lifestyle. At the ground floor and the lobby floor are cafes with terraces for a little bit of al-fresco, where one may take a refreshing break. The modish atmosphere of the cafes sets the stage for fruitful casual business discussion. The holistic approach towards a working business environment would promote a feeling of wellbeing that will translate into better performance at work.
The garden deck binds the centre together by providing the third space where its denizens may come together in a rejuvenating green environment; for man is a social being. The garden and openness of the deck space bring about a sense of freedom that refreshes and rejuvenates.
The garden deck also has a business centre with full glass walls that affords view towards the gardens. The cheery ambient of the garden deck is carried through the interior of the business centre, creating a lively and jovial working space.
In this third space of the garden deck sits one of the singular component of the MET which is the function room that dangles precariously over the car park podium. It is a glass box with a provocative taper on one side and slanted walls that lean out that exudes a sense of excitement and adventure. It is like a sculpture that teases the mind. And like both the gymnasium and the business centre, the function room has a visual connection with the garden. This holistic approach towards a working business environment would promote a feeling of wellbeing and peace of mind that will translate into better performance at work.
The MET is located at one of the four corners of the KL METROPOLITAN City and stands as a gateway into the City. As such, The MET exemplifies the vision of KL Metropolis in providing premier business facility with compelling urban architecture. The urbane world is expressed by the use of clean bold lines and simple yet strong tectonic shapes that exude a sense of sophistication and confidence of the urban man.
The shape of the tower is accentuated and strengthened by two glass trims that anchor the building the ground giving the building a sense of stability and confidence. The edges of the glass trim are lit with neon lights that emphasises the boldness of the smooth glass wall. The glass trims also carry the perspective upwards that expresses progressive dynamism and avant-garde.
The glass trim is cut at an angle as it turns to meet the car park podium. The glass trims then morph into fragmented panels of perforated metal sheets that expresses the horizontality of the car park podium as the sheet wraps around it. The glass trims and the perforated metal sheets relates to each other by the translucency of the materials that subtly resolve the clash between the verticality of the towers and the horizontality of the podium. This resolution binds the whole composition together.
The idea of the third space anchors the towers and binds the spaces together. It is this incongruity of having a forested hillside in urban Kuala Lumpur with two urbane office towers rising from its center that assails the mind. This experience etched in the consciousness gives it a special sense of place, making this third space an iconic space.

The edges of the glass trim are lit with neon lights that emphasises the boldness of the smooth glass wall. The glass trims also carry the perspective upwards that expresses progressive dynamism and avant-garde.
The glass trim is cut at an angle as it turns to meet the car park podium. The glass trims then morph into fragmented panels of perforated metal sheets that expresses the horizontality of the car park podium as the sheet wraps around it. The glass trims and the perforated metal sheets relates to each other by the translucency of the materials that subtly resolve the clash between the verticality of the towers and the horizontality of the podium. This resolution binds the whole composition together.
The idea of the third space anchors the towers and binds the spaces together. It is this incongruity of having a forested hillside in urban Kuala Lumpur with two urbane office towers rising from its center that assails the mind. This experience etched in the consciousness gives it a special sense of place, making this third space an iconic space.
The MET is an integrated office building that combine the needs of modern business with a modern urbane lifestyle, a home for businesses. Modern business are intrinsically skill and knowledge based that allow the organisation to be flexible and growth to be organic; with work spaces and work specialisation overlapping each other. Thus, The Met provides relatively smaller and flexible office spaces that allow the spaces to change and grow with your business.
The concept of flexible office spaces preclude least used spaces that are best shared. These spaces are provided in a garden environment at the podium deck level as support services for your business. The MET has a business centre with a boardroom and meeting rooms, an auditorium and a function room.
The Met extols the ideal of the third space, a space that bridges between the effort of business and the calmness of nature. This ideal is brought forth when The Met digs itself into the hillside, creating a tree covered crater from whence the two office towers rise up. It is then introduced through the approach that welcomes you with an enigmatic experience which combined the sophistication of urbane architecture with the serenity of greenery.
The approach climbs a ramp into the crater and ends in a cul-de-sac, flanked by tree covered earth embankments that slopes up. The cul-de-sac then sweeps underneath the building to a cavernous drop off. The MET signage at the center of the cul-de-sac is affixed to a boulder-like sculpture, as if recently loosen from the earth. The experience of the approach is like driving through a gauntlet of trees, deep in a valley far away from the city, only to turn under a cliff to be received by an edifying glass and steel lobby of urbanity.
This ideal is concluded by a languishing drive exit, flanked by a duet of the two different elements; the urbanity of the tower and the pastoral greenery of the tree covered cratered hillside. From the cul-de-sac, the exit drive is equally pleasing as it rounds the rear of the building, almost skimming the trees as the hillside rises sharply from the drive. There is time to enjoy the drive before the road ramps down to the exit, giving the impression of driving through and down a mountain forest road, far removed from the city.
The MET concerns itself with maintaining a proper Work-Life balance as an extension of the idea of the third space. Towards that end, The MET has a garden deck area which is the third space to connect with nature for relaxation and stress alleviation. It also has a gymnasium on the same floor that goes towards promoting a healthy living lifestyle. At the ground floor and the lobby floor are cafes with terraces for a little bit of al-fresco, where one may take a refreshing break. The modish atmosphere of the cafes sets the stage for fruitful casual business discussion. The holistic approach towards a working business environment would promote a feeling of wellbeing that will translate into better performance at work.
The garden deck binds the centre together by providing the third space where its denizens may come together in a rejuvenating green environment; for man is a social being. The garden and openness of the deck space bring about a sense of freedom that refreshes and rejuvenates.
The garden deck also has a business centre with full glass walls that affords view towards the gardens. The cheery ambient of the garden deck is carried through the interior of the business centre, creating a lively and jovial working space.
In this third space of the garden deck sits one of the singular component of the MET which is the function room that dangles precariously over the car park podium. It is a glass box with a provocative taper on one side and slanted walls that lean out that exudes a sense of excitement and adventure. It is like a sculpture that teases the mind. And like both the gymnasium and the business centre, the function room has a visual connection with the garden. This holistic approach towards a working business environment would promote a feeling of wellbeing and peace of mind that will translate into better performance at work.
The MET is located at one of the four corners of the KL METROPOLITAN City and stands as a gateway into the City. As such, The MET exemplifies the vision of KL Metropolis in providing premier business facility with compelling urban architecture.
