A great design comprises many parts that support one another to make up a unified whole
The Perfect Ensemble

It is apt that AIRA Residence sits on a hilltop in the heart of upscale Damansara Heights. The latest development by Selangor Properties is, after all, acknowledged as the pinnacle of luxurious living in Kuala Lumpur, supported by an outstanding location, excellent architecture and interior design, as well as a thoughtful vicinity plan underlined with exceptional landscaping.

The fully completed low-density development comprises only two 17-storey towers laid out over three acres of land – a rarity in current development standards in Kuala Lumpur. The building footprint occupies 70 per cent of the land area, and the rest is dedicated to planned and landscaped open spaces. Fourteen unit types are available, with sizes ranging from 2,679sf to 7,730sf in Tower A, and from 1,894sf to 1,927sf in Tower B.

Renowned designers were assembled to accomplish the design of the property, led by architecture firm Environmental Design Practice, who worked closely with international consultants AEDAS from Singapore for architecture and Studio Piet Boon from the Netherlands for interior design. (Tierra Design provided their landscaping expertise.) Together they carefully selected every item that went into the development, leaving no detail unexamined.

“Among the things that AIRA set out to achieve was European design with Asian functionality that encapsulates the exemplar of luxury living,” says Chong Koon San, Chief Operating Officer of Selangor Properties. “To achieve this, every detail of AIRA Residence needed to be scrutinised to ensure that we were providing the best of today and of future.”
