Wolo
PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Hotel
INSPIRATION:
As a Malaysian designer who is born and bred in Kuala Lumpur, this project is inspired by “Kuala Lumpur”. With the great enthusiasm to make WOLO hotel a true Malaysian brand, Kuala Lumpur’s “DNA” has been incorporated into the design in such a way that history, cultures and stories of Kuala Lumpur are reflected in many aspects in WOLO hotel.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The most uniques feature in this design is that the project reflect Malaysian culture as well as WOLO brand value in a contemporary, creative and bold way. An enormous amount of thought, consideration, attention to details has gone into every aspect of the project. There are so much to be shared and one of them is Kuala Lumpur long and glorious history of pewter products. The hotel reception counter and entrance grand handle is handmade and finished with custom pewter.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:

CHALLENGE:
The hardest part of this design activity apart from its deadline is transforming Kuala Lumpur’s “DNA” into the project. For example, Kuala Lumpur has long mining history and hence topography layered pattern of mining field is incorporated into steel hence, corridor carpet, ceiling pendant light and the hotel room mirror. It is noteworthy that one of the key features of interior design is the “Kuala Lumpur Wall” displaying in lobby where Lumpur means “mud” in Malaysia national language and coupled with Kuala it means “muddy confluence”. The design and installation of the wall is certainly challenging and watching the result is fulfilling.

NAME:
IDP Design practice
PROFILE:
When the client first came to us, for this project the progressive approach of the architecture dated back to 1980s. In the 80s, the project site was a bank. From banking to hospitality, the site progressed in the aspects of function as well as its architecture/design. The progression is not without challenges, the design team overcame structural restrictions and limitations. Today, WOLO hotel “stands tall” in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Inside the hotel, it is filled with Kuala Lumpur’s heritage. The progress of WOLO hotel has been nothing short of remarkable.
