Housing 184 bespoke guest rooms and suites, STRIPES footprint is set on a row of existing heritage shophouses in Jalan Kamunting, Kuala Lumpur. The most distinctive feature of STRIPES is its “brick façade”, adopting a customised modular brick system that could be mounted vertically without the use of mortar or cement and offers both repetition and variety over the 20-storey building. Horizontal bands are interspersed throughout the building to frame the progression of the brick screening and reference the STRIPES that give the hotel its distinct name. This delicious tension between materials were also repeated thoughtfully within the interior spaces.
