Tropicana Corp Bhd has bagged two awards for Tropicana Gardens, its residential and commercial landmark in Tropicana Indah, Petaling Jaya.
It was awarded the international 5-Star award in the Best Mixed Use Development Malaysia category at the International Property Awards 2022-2023 held at the Sheraton Grand London, United Kingdom on June 23.
The win represented Tropicana’s 13th victorious year in the Asia Pacific Property Awards, the largest branch of the International Property Awards.
Additionally, Tropicana Gardens Office Tower’s stellar design earned the Silver Award in the Corporate Offices category at the Malaysian Institute of Interior Designers (MIID) REKA Awards 2021.
Tropicana senior marketing & sales managing director Joanne Lee said Tropicana Gardens was designed with people in mind from the get-go that centred around the group’s eight unique development DNAs.
“Towards this end, we always strive to create the best communal living environment, emphasising connectivity, generous open spaces, and innovative concepts and design.
“For its office tower, Tropicana’s management aimed to foster a conducive working environment, integrating ample amenities and facilities and placing everything within reach for the convenience of employees and visitors. To achieve this, we worked with one of the best interior designers in the industry to create an ideal workspace to live, learn and prosper in, as we continue redefining the art of living,” she said.
Tropicana Gardens features sustainable design, as recognised in its Gold Green Building Index (GBI) certification for three residential towers and Silver certification for other components, as well as GreenRE Silver certification for Edelweiss SOFO & Serviced Residences. Other sustainable features include low-emissivity glass in the development’s façade, LED lighting fixtures, rainwater harvesting and regenerative lifts.
The Zen garden aesthetic and modern outlook of Tropicana Gardens Office Tower were highlighted at the MIID REKA Awards.
Designed by Tropicana’s appointed interior design consultant, SL Group Design, the office tower’s elevated conference room at the Level 12 Experiential Hall drew inspiration from the effortless grace and flowing curves of a waterlily floating on a garden pond.
“Tropicana Gardens Office Tower was a challenging project, whereby we needed to understand the client’s requirements and create a uniform aesthetic across the office tower’s spaces and facilities, suitable for all divisions.
“This included an open concept enhancing collaboration and natural air circulation, as well as specific requirements such as expanded storage space,” said SL Group Design senior interior designer IDr Ling See Mun.
