The University of Technology Sarawak will be a major education hub, designed to significantly contribute to vibrancy while attracting more than 5,000 students and staff to the urban fabric of Sibu. Situated adjacent to the historical Sibu airport runway, the organic formation and orientation of the site grant the design team from AkiMedia the opportunity to magnify the sustainable qualities and achieve a green-rated building design.

Transforming the Kota Samarahan Industrial Zone with a vibrant One-Stop Collection Centre, the OSCC building, designed by RKD Architects features a retail gallery, packaging area, and flexible spaces to support local start-ups, especially women entrepreneurs, with training and networking opportunities.

Design Network Architects transformed the trapezoid-shaped site into an opportunity by offsetting the building line on both sides of the boundary, creating two distinct projections. By softening the sharp edges with a full-height curving glazing, it becomes the focal point of the house, designed to accommodate a feature tree.
