Kuala Lumpur

Malaysians have embraced high rise development and high density living with gusto. They are obsessed with concrete, glass and steel, particularly when they contain huge glamorous shopping malls that prioritise high fashion brands.

Our apartment was a good example of their design approach to high density living. It was on the 35th floor of a building in a cluster of 4 located about 600m from a light rail station, via a covered walkway, where driver less trains ran into the city every 7 minutes. Our building had a convenience store, beautiful big pool, gym, conference room and children's playground and was a short walk (again undercover) to a shopping mall with dozens of nice restaurants. No need to ever step outside. Weather forecasts are irrelevant.
