Arté MK is a landmark luxury residential development located in Mont Kiara, Malaysia. Known for its futuristic architecture, sculptural façade, and vibrant lifestyle amenities, the project stands out as one of the most iconic high-rise residential designs in Kuala Lumpur.
The building’s dramatic curves, unique façade geometry, and extensive glass elements required advanced glazing solutions with exceptional optical quality, structural stability, and safety performance. As the designated glass supplier for Arté MK, we provided a full range of engineered architectural glass products tailored to the ambitious design vision.
Our Role as the Glass Supplier:
To meet Arté MK’s demanding façade requirements, we supplied multiple categories of high-performance glass:
1. Custom Laminated Safety Glass
Used in:
Balcony balustrades
High-rise outdoor walkways
Poolside railings
Public elevated areas
Features include impact resistance, anti-shatter performance, and enhanced safety for residents.
2. Low-E Insulated Glass for Façade Panels
Applied across the tower cladding to:
Improve thermal performance in Malaysia’s tropical climate
Reduce solar heat gain
Enhance indoor comfort for residential units
Lower energy consumption for air conditioning
3. Curved & Non-Standard Shaped Glass
Arté MK’s fluid architectural form required non-linear façade elements.
We delivered precision-engineered curved glass panels that conform to the building’s iconic sculptural envelope.
4. Low-Iron Ultra-Clear Glass
Used for lobby entrances, feature walls, and amenity areas to emphasize transparency and deliver premium visual clarity.
5. Tempered Interior Glass Systems
Installed in indoor common areas such as corridors, lounges, and recreational spaces to create a modern and bright atmosphere.
Challenges & Technical Solutions:
1. Complex Curved Façade Geometry
Arté MK's design features organic curves and irregular shapes.
We provided custom bending and fabrication solutions to ensure precise fitment and consistent optical quality.
2. High Wind Load Requirements for Tall Buildings
As a high-rise residential tower, façade glass must withstand strong wind loads.
Our laminated systems used reinforced interlayers and high-strength configurations.
3. Tropical Climate Performance
Malaysia’s climate brings:
High temperatures
Intense sunlight
High humidity
Low-E insulated units were optimized for long-term stability and thermal control.
4. Safety & Resident Comfort
Residential buildings require glass with:
Enhanced fall protection
Low glare
Good sound insulation
We supplied laminated glass with acoustic interlayers to reduce external noise.
Project Outcomes:
The glazing solutions delivered several key benefits:
Iconic façade appearance
The custom-curved glass helps achieve the building’s futuristic architectural expression.
Superior thermal performance
Low-E insulated glass keeps indoor spaces comfortable while reducing energy usage.
Enhanced resident safety
Laminated railings and balustrades provide strong, reliable protection for all high-altitude areas.
Improved acoustic comfort
Sound-damping laminated interlayers reduce noise from surrounding urban environments.
High clarity & premium aesthetic
Low-iron glass highlights the luxury positioning of the development.
The project team praised the precision fabrication, high product stability, and reliable technical support throughout the installation process.
Sustainability Initiatives:
All supplied glass products follow environmentally responsible principles:
Energy-efficient Low-E coating technologies
Long-lifespan laminated structures
Recyclable raw materials
Low-emission manufacturing
These contribute to Arté MK’s long-term sustainability performance.
Conclusion:
The Arté MK project demonstrates how advanced architectural glass solutions can elevate both design and functionality in high-end residential developments. As an experienced glass supplier for Malaysia’s high-rise buildings, we are proud to have contributed to this visually stunning and technically demanding landmark project.
