PENANG STUDY TOUR 12th – 13th September 2019
Public Realm Improvement Project : Armenian Park by Think City Penang
The Prestige Hotel
The Prestige is an independent hospitality label that best portrays the
natural urban beauty of Penang’s historic core. A magical modern-day
interpretation of Victorian design, the newly built hotel is brought
whimsically to life with an assembly of a magical quasi-colonial interior, the
first of its kind in Penang and is part of the prestigious Design Hotels™
portfolio.
The hotel site was historically a century-old godown used during the
maritime trading era in the late 1900s. Set amongst the beautiful and
intricate 19th century English colonial buildings found in this UNESCO
World Heritage site, the 162-room locally rooted boutique brings to mind a
tropical Victorian Eden through the hotel’s lush garden-conservatory feel.
An abandoned side lane near Bank of China in Beach Street, Penang, has been transformed into a pocket park to benefit the community. The RM650,000 makeover project included the upgrading of the drainage and utility system, and also the landscaping. The abandoned side lane was the only lane that connects pedestrians between Beach Street and Weld Quay. The design also demarcated a clear separation of bike lane and pedestrian walkway, so that users can occupy the spaces. At night, the park will be lighted up with artwork and some columns designed with special motifs to provide a safer and more encouraging passageway for users.
Bank of China Alley – Pocket Park
Standing proud in the heart of George Town, M Summit 191 brings you
exquisitely designed executive suites within a self-contained metropolitan.
This 23-storey spire of excellence houses 96 executive suites available in
6 different interior designs, to match all your business travel needs.
Experience the height of convenience and have all your business needs
met at M Summit 191.
M Summit 191 Executive Suites
The Armenian Park Improvement Project was one of several catalytic
projects in the neighbourhood. Upgrades to the area included soft
landscaping, lighting, and building spaces to sit and relax under the
comfort of the trees. Other plans for improvement include refurbishing the
Youth Centre in the near future.
The Lebuh Armenian Park is one of the few green spaces in the George
Town World Heritage Site which has seen recent improvements to the park
and surrounding spaces.

Penang Digital Library by Ar. Tan Be Eu
The Penang Digital Library – an initiative by the Penang State Government
in collaboration with Keysight Technologies and Eastern & Oriental Berhad
(E&O) and supported by TIME – aims to reengineer how information is

international projects. As an Academician, she is passionate about

Paramit Factory session The Paramit Factory by Design Unit Sdn. Bhd., Malaysia, challenges the
industrial typology that is too often mired in questions of functionality and
cost. John Bulcock, the principal architect, is best known for tropical
houses, noteworthy for unfinished concrete walls and playful inventiveness
with climate. Daylight, greenery and vistas were key considerations from
the start.
The louvered canopy roof connects indoor with outdoor, delineating semi-
covered landscaped spaces that are lush and green, hence the moniker
“Factory in the Forest.”
Introducing the new epicentre for commerce, Penang International
Commercial City (PICC). A visionary masterpiece, it is the new beacon in
the North that represents Penang’s vibrant culture and cutting-edge
ingenuity. From first-rate infrastructure, strategic connectivity to integrated
convenience, PICC will usher in a new age of global living.

infrastructure.
