CIDB Convention Centre Sarawak

The CIDB Convention Centre, with its double-volume convention hall, is designed to subtly blend with the surrounding landscape and be in communion with nature.

Despite its massive massing, it boasts a sense of lightness and simplicity, invoking curiosity with its distinctive shape and transparent boundaries.

Instead of the conventional enclosed walls, the building’s skin is actually a fixture of semi-open corridors with decorative louvres and polycarbonate. The interior spaces are ‘partitioned’ by the semi-open corridors, forming inviting nooks and crannies.

BEST OF SARAWAK
Partially rising atop a pond, the centre combines the best of Sarawak architecture, taking into account its culture and environment while integrating modern technology for an ecologically-designed product.
