Location      : Kota Masai 3, Johor Bahru, Johor

Client         : Titian Hasrat Sdn Bhd

Value          : RM77.6 m

Status         : Design Proposal

Given the tropical climate and surrounding neighbourhood, the school is organised around shaded courtyards, green spaces and covered walkways. North–south classroom orientation reduces solar heat, while the connected layout supports comfortable movement, learning and everyday school life.

Responding to a sloping site along Persiaran Gugusan, the student residence is planned to strengthen connections between the future MRT station and the university campus. North-south room orientation reduces heat gain, while commercial spaces and shared facilities activate the ground level. Podium parking follows the site's natural topography, minimising earthworks and reducing the project's environmental impact.

Value           : RM3.75m

Status           : Schematic

The proposed multipurpose hall brings sports, study and student activities together around a shared courtyard, extending the limited facilities available at Nilam Court. Its compact orientation maximises the site while north–south openings support daylight and passive ventilation. Container-based construction offers an economical approach, while the courtyard creates a shared space connecting the new hall with the existing canteen.

The complex is organised around a central control tower, establishing a radial planning concept for the aviation academy. Training, administration, hangars and accommodation radiate from this core, while aerodynamic building forms respond to the site and minimise interference with existing conditions. Green links connect the different facilities, creating a cohesive environment for aviation training.
