Retail project promises unique building design

Thinking green: Lava boasts three-levels of ground floor with a multi-purpose atrium area and naturally ventilated courtyard plazas.

The Tempo Properties Sdn Bhd unveiled Lava recently, a retail project that is part of The Atmosphere commercial development in Seri Kembangan.

It recently won the regional award at the Asia Pacific Property Awards for best-mix used development in 2011.

Lava features three levels of ground floor with a multi-purpose atrium area and naturally ventilated courtyard plazas.

Its modern architectural façade incorporates minimalist features using predominantly brick-and-mortar, glass and steel elements as well as a lush courtyard and garden space, which provides an innovative urban landscape.

The units are priced from RM783,000 onwards and are targeted to be completed by the third quarter of 2013.

Tempo Properties Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Khoo Boo Hian said the project was an integrated development comprising various commercial and retail spaces where the Lava was an essential layer.

“It complements our vision to build a commercial hub under-one-roof in the south Klang Valley that will cater to every lifestyle need through its varied retail mix. As this area currently lacks a one-stop commercial facility, we feel that Lava will fill the gap in the market for an integrated development of this nature,” he said.

The Lava is architecturally conceptualised and designed with the best “green” practices in mind, such as its lush, landscaped courtyard garden and energy-efficient features of the building’s roof canopy construction.

The roof canopy employs the use of high-grade moisture-resistant ceiling boards and polycarbonate sheets over roof openings to enhance natural ventilation.

“Our award-winning, environmentally-responsible development will promise high rental yields, as the building concept and design is unique to the Malaysian commercial property market,” said Khoo.

Formed in 1995 in Seremban, Tempo Properties’ portfolio encompasses projects like Taman Cengal Utama, Taman Prima Tropika, and Medan Suria.
