The Grange
AMPWALK, KUALA LUMPUR
In designing this boutique mall, SSO Studio took inspiration from local shophouse’s courtyard – where skylight lights up a section of a building and defines a boundary or function in the space which once commonly noticeable in the past. Built in the 90s, many existing structures were retained and repurposed to create a new dynamic interior.

The atmosphere of the interior emulates the design of popular bygone gathering places in a contemporary context - through the use of a 20-metre-long light membrane with printed shadowy plants over, timber textured materials and multiple layers of lighting.
​
The oversize light membrane creates an artificial sense of time.

The demising piers were formed with bronze stainless steel structures to create a hanging garden and a colonnade of lanterns, a reminiscence of an old courtyard while maximizing the use of volume of space.
A new ramp was introduced within the building to cater to the special needs. The ramp was designed to create the feeling of walking in a garden.

Customized signage is designed with a slight curve towards the end, inspired by nature.
