Arte S坐落在峰巒起伏的甘密山和檳城海峽之間。用主創(chuàng)建筑師斯蒂芬.平博理和林雯慧的話說，“塔樓流動(dòng)形態(tài)的設(shè)計(jì)靈感來源于檳榔嶼壯觀的地貌”——高層公寓的外形和結(jié)構(gòu)與甘密山上升的陡坡和檳城海岸線形成了戲劇化的關(guān)系，兩座塔樓和裙房通過陽(yáng)臺(tái)，露臺(tái)和游泳池之間的優(yōu)美曲線相連接，進(jìn)而產(chǎn)生城市意義上的社區(qū)界面感。這里，山地景觀被詮釋為一系列類似于臺(tái)階的層狀平面，與人們長(zhǎng)期居住在山嶺地區(qū)的生活方式相呼應(yīng)。設(shè)計(jì)的原則是一種基于地形和氣候的形態(tài)策略。

兩座塔樓的外形由橢圓形樓面板擠壓產(chǎn)生，通過在每個(gè)樓層巧妙增設(shè)旋轉(zhuǎn)的波形遮陽(yáng)板，以實(shí)現(xiàn)建筑物的旋轉(zhuǎn)外形。西面的公寓更靠近群山，可攀登至50層欣賞到壯觀的海景。2棟塔樓中較矮的一棟從層疊的裙房上升至32層。塔樓的高區(qū)戶型向內(nèi)縮進(jìn)，以創(chuàng)造出最高三層樓板所雕刻出的頂級(jí)豪宅感受。當(dāng)人們從不同的角度觀賞兩座塔樓及其相互的關(guān)系時(shí)，會(huì)有著如同觀看雕塑藝術(shù)作品般的感受，一天中不同時(shí)刻的光線投射在建筑立面的不同位置引起的陰影變化，增加了整體形態(tài)的立體感和飽和度，旋轉(zhuǎn)的體態(tài)令人們即使靜止駐足觀看，也可以感受到建筑本身蘊(yùn)含的無限動(dòng)感活力。

Arte S最引人矚目的“活躍因子”，在于較高的塔樓35層的空中花園——內(nèi)有兩個(gè)鵝卵石形狀的吊艙供居民娛樂消遣。較大的吊艙可容納多達(dá)60人的活動(dòng)，較小的吊艙配有按摩浴缸。這些吊艙共同為項(xiàng)目創(chuàng)造了一個(gè)引人入勝的視覺特征，同時(shí)為居民提供了喬治城和檳城海峽對(duì)面的壯麗景色。

在靈活而嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)慕ㄖ矫娌季值幕A(chǔ)上，SPARK思邦的設(shè)計(jì)不滿足于戶型單元內(nèi)的使用需求，更是在不同的樓層拓展出“空中花園”的布局（例如A塔的29層和B塔的37層），在“空中吊艙”或立面造型有明顯收分的位置，建筑師都巧妙地讓原本難以使用的過渡空間成為令人樂意駐足的平臺(tái)花園，與地面層的景觀垂直呼應(yīng)。

The Arte S twin residential towers are located between the island's undulating hills (Bukit Gambier) and the Penang Strait. The towers' flowing form was inspired by the dramatic topography of Penang Island. The Arte S twin residential towers sit at the base Bukit Gambir, a lush tropical mountain located at the heart of Penang Island off the Western coast of Malaysia. The geometry and composition of the towers was inspired the dramatic surrounding land form that mediates between the steeply rising hillside of Bukit Gambier and the coast line of the Penang Strait.

The 2 towers and the podium are articulated by the curvilinear movement of balconies, terraces and pools that echo the way man has occupied Penang's mountainous terrain over time. The mountain landscape has been interpreted as a series of layered flat surfaces that resemble steps, a graduated terracing of the building podium and its twisting towers is the signature of the Arte S project. The geometry of the two towers was generated by the extrusion of an elliptical floorplate, augmented by the addition of a waveform brise-soleil that is subtly rotated at each floor level to achieve the building's twisted appearance. The Western tower sits closer to the mountain, climbing to 52 storeys, it is the third tallest tower on Penang and offers spectacular views towards the ocean. The shorter of the 2 towers rises 34 storeys from the layered podium. The geometry of both towers steps back at their upper most levels to create penthouses sculpted from the final 3 floorplates. The taller tower has a sky garden at level 35 that incorporates two pebble-form recreational “resident club” pods. The larger pod can accommodate up to 60 people for events, the smaller hanging pod houses a Jacuzzi. Together the pods create a dramatic visual signature for the development whilst offering the residents spectacular views across Georgetown and the Strait of Penang.

The design provides a variety of apartment types for buyers. Future flexibility is achieved with column free and beam free apartment spaces that facilitate interior adjustments as tenant requirements change.

Designed for tropical living the units are orientated to bring in light and air without the need for air-conditioning.All common areas are naturally ventilated and day-lit. The lushly planted perimeter gardens and podium levels shroud the building's car park and takes advantage of the tropical climate to merge naturalistic tropical planting with the building's geometry. This result is layered, comfortable and shaded pool terraces supplemented by an organic form gymnasium pod. The green layering of the terraces continues to form a distinctive street presence and address for the development that has human scale and lush texture.

“In the early residential work of architect like Mies van der Rohe he created a new ground level by elevating the first floor. In Malaysia many residential developments sit atop ugly car parks” says Stephen Pimbley.“We wanted to capture the value of the Mies idea by lifting the piano nobile to create a beautiful landscaped communal space for the residents, that steps down as a series of green terraces to the primary street elevation of the development, shrouding the car parking facilities in a manner that is consistent and sympathetic with the layered terracing of the apartment towers” he added.
