Notable Overseas Projects

KIGALI CITY MASTERPLAN

Surbana Urban Planning Group master planned the 134.2 sq km Kigali city project in Rwanda. A blueprint was drawn up to strategically guide development, facilitate rapid economic growth by attracting investments, create employment, and position Kigali as a commercial hub of east-central Africa. [3]

MKH WORLD

MKH World is an integrated mixed development in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia that has 12 storeys of offices, 5 storeys of shops, 650 service apartments, as well as a street mall and plaza. It enjoys high visibility from passing traffic because of its strategic location along the North South Expressway.

THE LIGHT

The Light is an urban downtown development on 30 ha of reclaimed land designated to act as the main gateway to Penang island. It aims to redefine and reposition Penang as a significant destination within Malaysia, for both local and international visitors.

Surbana's design strives to reflect the essence of Penang as vibrant tapestry of life, with added focus given to its street food and business culture. The theme of light was used an inspirational thread to connect the different elements of the city – the architecture reflected the shimmering interplay of light on water or took inspiration from light travelling through a prism or crystal.
