THE award-winning Parc3 @ KL South is a home designed by nature in every sense and aspect.
Nestled in the bustling neighbourhood of Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, this iconic residence offers a whole new realm of curated living experience.
Developed by Eupe Corporation Berhad, the building’s wave-like structure mimics the fluidity of nature, creating an inspiring place-making identity for residents while setting new directions in urban sustainability.
Towering upward into 46 floors of sleek glass and steel, the 2.67-acre development merges urban living with nature using holistic architectural and lifestyle design.
Comprising 793 units of serviced residences, Parc3 weaves three innovative parks into its form and function to integrate the building with its parkland surroundings.
The extensive landscaping focuses on plant functionality, education and green immersion while interior spaces are crafted to re-establish connections and encourage togetherness.
Golden “fins” encircle the building while doubling as shades to deflect and reduce tropical heat on the building. Parc3 also has a passive cooling system designed into the building.
This nature-inspired landmark has been rightfully recognised with the Residential High-Rise Category at the prestigious Malaysia Property Award™ (MPA) 2023 by FIABCI Malaysia.
Sustainable urban living
Parc3 has been conceptualised not only to redefine the architectural and visual character of the emerging KL South precinct, but to elevate the mental and physical wellbeing of its residents.
“We think we have achieved the above, which along and together with a number of lifestyle features and design innovations combine to make Parc3 a truly unique home,” said Group managing director Datuk Beh Huck Lee.
Parc3 hosts the Highest Hanging Sculpture in a Residential Building, certified by the Malaysia Book of Records.
He said a core principle in all of Eupe’s projects is to create homes where residents can connect seamlessly with nature, as well as with each other, towards a distinctive ‘green community.’
“This is important because of the many benefits for the long-term health and wellbeing of people living in large cities. We have deployed environmental and social sustainability frameworks into Parc3 in multiple ways.
“These include the passive cooling design which brings in natural air to ventilate and cool the building. It is designed as a ‘Building That Breathes’ to facilitate the intake of natural air through the grand central atrium and a single-loaded corridor to harness proper cross ventilation for the homes.
“Three parks are designed into the heart of the development, which gives Parc3 its name, complimenting the 64-acre Taman Pudu Ulu Park directly across from the building.
“Parc3’s Home Gardens, an innovative communal herb garden brings community, personal health and natural ecosystems together.”
Back to nature
Two key garden concepts are intertwined; the first is the Cascading Gardens featuring multiple levels of parks and landscape that flow into each other culminating in the Central Park, Sky Park and Moonlight Deck.
The highlight is the Cascades and Forest Trail, a four-storey trail within trees and waterfall intended to soothe the senses and provide visual connection to the park outside.
The second is the My Home Garden concept. This comprises community gardens and urban farms where all plants are identified via QR codes and a herb garden that is harvested by residents for edible, health-giving plants.
This communal gardening space provides natural eco- systems for birds and butterflies while fostering community connections and social interactions.
Holding a greenRE gold score of 89.63%, Parc3’s total green spaces cover 35% of its overall land area, more than three times the area required by planning regulations.
Connecting life and lifestyle
Residents get to indulge in more than 40-strong premium lifestyle facilities consisting of a 50m lap pool and wading pool, five levels of landscaped facilities and observation deck for 360-degree city views, open-air picnics and celestial gazing.
Glass-encased lattice structures, inspired by foliage and treehouses, are integrated into the architecture.
The iconic Parc3 offers a whole new realm of curated living experience.
Suspended over the terraces are cantilevered glass pods – the Glass Play Treehouse and Glass Dining Treehouse which house the gym, function hall, business centres and the Celebrity Kitchen – aimed to recreate the childhood joys of playing in treehouses.
All spaces have been curated for relaxation and contemplation to connect and uplift, elevating daily living activities into memorable experiences.
Food, shopping, medical facilities, schools and public transportation are within walking distance or a short drive away.
Eupe has also built a covered walkway to the Maluri LRT station and installed solar-powered lights with a battery backup power of three days, a first in Malaysia!
Placemaking public art
Parc3 also hosts the Highest Hanging Sculpture in a Residential Building, certified by the Malaysia Book of Records. It’s the centrepiece of a number of public art works that adorn the development to inspire and connect residents.
The Meranti sculpture hangs down the central atrium, spanning Levels 8-46, greeting residents when they open the door, providing a different vista from every floor.
The entire sculpture weighs about 2,000kg with 21 Shorea seeds which “fall” in the sculpture and “sprout” on the ground. This is to remind people the importance of “rising from every fall”.
The Meranti is the world’s tallest tropical tree, symbolising the achievement of great heights.
“Everything we have designed in Parc3 aims to elevate daily living experiences into memorable moments.
“Buying a home is the biggest investment that we make. So, creating lasting lifestyle value through innovative design and facilities is central to our approach,” Beh enthused.
He said property development, be it building a complex high-rise unit or a more straightforward landed home, has always been a steep learning curve but a very rewarding one.
“Our motivation is to create a home of lasting quality and value for our buyers.
“This is what inspires us to continually improve and meet new challenges,” he concluded.
