Shah Alam Selangor - This elaborate architecture
beauty so sturdily structured and resting majestically atop
the 12-acre hill, granted by the Selangor State Government,
is a dream come true for His Royal Highness, Sultan Salahuddin
Abdul Aziz Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Hishamuddin Alam Shah.
His Royal vision had crystallized and was in concrete form
before His Royal Highness.
From its ideal hill-top location sited opposite Istana Kayangan,
it overlooks the picturesque vicinity and the sight of the
State Mosque with its majestic blue Dome and tall minarets.
At night,
one can feast ones' eyes on a glowing and glittering view
that lends a unique ambience and enchantment to its silhouette,
enshrouding it in a mantle of exclusivity. It hosts a wide
variety of amenities beneath its regally shaped roof that
resembles a Bugis Headgear that gives the Club a distinct
identity.Should one be driving along the Federal Highway between
Klang and Kuala Lumpur, one cannot fail to see this distinct
landmark on top of the hill. At night, it serves as a beacon
in the dark, serving as a guide to familiar and unfamiliar
souls traversing the highways.
To construct
a Club of this stature, aimed to blend with the surrounding
nature, 10 consultancies, comprising of architects, surveyors,
engineers, designers and Club operators were pooled and from
these enriched sources, the best in creative ideas was culminated
to create this masterpiece. The design and concept was researched
and obtained from Indonesia by the Protem Committee assigned
to oversee the project. This mammoth project took off when
the Selangor State Development Corporation undertook the conceptual
and initial designing through to construction. Panji Alam
were engaged as the main contractors whilst The Public Works
Departments and JUARA CONSULTANTS handled the piping and wiring
works. RAJA ZULKIFLI TUN UDA were appointed as the structural
engineers and for the foundation to be laid out, ZAKARIA LEE
AND PARTNERS were engaged for the task at hand and finally,
in order to bring out the desired interior furnishing, AZIZAMAS
INTERIOR DESIGNERS were assigned to cultivate a majestic ambience.
The present plush interior of the Club bears the testimony
of their combined efforts. Finally, to exude that refined
finish, local materials were used in the construction of the
Club which was built over a duration of two years and six
months at the cost of RM25 million. |
