Kuantan, Pahang
Office

Sultan Ahmad Shah Administration Center, PPSAS is envisioned to be the new landmark for Pahang and the architecture references the state’s identity. This project is facilitated by Pahang state JKR and fully awarded to Kreatif Sinar Gabungan Sdn. Bhd. as the main contractor. The building’s key idea is to heighten the sense of patriotism and pride for its people with the most befitting source of inspiration is Pahang’s Coat of Arms.

PPSAS combine structural complexities with intricacies of dynamic facades made up of slanted semi-unitised and unitised glazing wall, alternated with ribbed farefaced concrete walls and jagged aluminum-clad walls. DUN building and MB’s office feature spectacular construction of 1 large concaving Aluminium standing seam roof with skylights slits supported on steel trusses spanning across 150m. Suspended from this roof is the circular Assembly Hall propped on another network of steel girders spanning 50m across a columnless Banquet Hall. PPSAS also feature a remarkable 90m cantilevered archway formed by connecting roofs of SUK & Federal office blocks enframing ‘Dataran Perarakan’ for Royal salutations.
