Natural Wellness

Natural Wellness is a proposed development in Petaling Jaya, designed by Hijjas, comprising a five-storey administration building and a six-storey production facility above two basement levels. The buildings are connected by a heavily landscaped communal space, bringing together different functions and structural demands on a constrained site.

Accommodating diverse structural demands

The production facilities, office accommodation and landscaped communal areas present significantly different loading requirements. The structural concept considered these demands alongside the building layouts, spans and support arrangements, integrating the different functions within a coordinated structural scheme.

Realising slender forms and long spans

The architectural concept incorporates long spans, cantilevers and slender structural elements. The engineering explored the feasibility of these forms, considering their structural behaviour and load transfer through the buildings to the shared basement and foundations.
