• Bangunan Dato' Abdul Rahman Andak

​

Make a visit to BDARA and you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the Straits of Johor. Designed to create an inspiring work environment, it translates heritage into a contemporary space that is naturally green and encourages social interaction. The modernised gabled roof of the Johor-Malay house offer shade whilst the sun shade cleverly deflects the sun’s glare.

The grand entrance mimics a traditional anjung (porch) leading to a well-lit serambi (foyer) where government staff can mingle. Connecting the office blocks is an atrium, inspired by a selang that customarily joins the main living area to the kitchen at the rear of the house. Bask in the natural light that filters through into lushly landscaped grounds.

Dato’ Abdul Rahman Andak was Johor’s first State Secretary and drafted the Johor Constitution, the nation’s first, which became a fundamental reference for other states. Furthermore, he implemented a highly structured civil service system, still practised today.

• Bangunan Dato Mohamad Salleh Perang

​

See how the traditional Malay house, or rumah bumbung panjang, is translated into a modern, comfortable office context – areas customarily used for family gatherings are introduced to encourage interaction amongst colleagues. The sunshades of the edgy pitched roofs protect the offices below from the tropical sun, offering a shady terrace much like the pelantar (deck) found in traditional homes.

Explore the landscape that aims to inspire both staff and visitors: hardscapes like street décor creatively draw from Johor’s cultural and economic influences, whilst lovely softscapes complete a harmonious work experience.
