A place in the center of a metropolitan city that has the Petronas Towers and the KLCC Park at its front doorstep.

It also speaks of calmness. On Level 1 is an environment that engages the resident to relax and contemplate with priorities given, not just to provide functions but also to have a sense of spirit.

“Listening” is less about speaking and more about the act of listening. To encourage the residents to sit, lie and relax on the artwork also suggests that if one is speaking, we will also afford the time to listen with the heart and mind. That there is a sense of engagement, not only with the art but also more importantly with family and friends as they use this art as a venue to better relate to each other. |
