Located along the banks of the Perak River in Teluk Intan – a little town known for its leaning clock tower and shipbuilding heritage – is a remarkable story of transformation.

What was once an abandoned shipyard has been reborn as a vibrant and sustainable corporate headquarters. This is the story of the Intan Project, an ambitious adaptive reuse initiative led by architects Sin Ho and Kenny Chong of A3 Projects.
