The astounding Desa Sentral Sales Gallery is located along Jalan Desa, Kuala Lumpur, on the same plot of land that the former Desa Water Park was situated on. Its strategic location is one of the enticing factors of this upcoming development by the client, Garuda Searah Sdn Bhd. The entire development, named Desa Sentral, will be a new urban hub in the city for leisure, work and an overall greater living experience.
The mythical Pegasus was used to draw inspiration for the layout and design process of the gallery. It symbolizes power, immortality, and highflying imagination, all of which exhibit the client’s business nature and fast growth as one of the leading developers in the market. These elements of the Pegasus can be seen throughout the design of the gallery; from the planning, to the building form, and in the flow of the internal spaces.
The wings of the pterippus are reflected in the design of the building façade and the welcoming gate at the main entrance. The cascading facade was integrated to symbolize the continuous growth of the client. The spaces within the gallery include the main galleria, the pavilion which runs along the ramp, a sales office, a VIP lounge, a series of more private pocket zones, and a large open park.
The gallery would become the node for all residents from the surrounding neighbourhood to visit and explore during their free time. The park at the centre of the development could be used as a work-out and sports zone, a meeting place for the public to gather for larger outdoor events, or simply for leisure.
