A majestic grand waterfall that measures 40ft in height, welcomes you in, to an unprecedented living experience.
MITRALAND Group has made a ripple in the industry by winning the Residential Low Rise category at the recent Fiabci Malaysia Property Awards for its development, 16 Quartz.
16 Quartz, Melawati is a premier gated and guarded residential enclave, which underlines a serene and symbiotic relationship between big-city living while being close to nature.
This development, which promotes well-being, also offers spectacular views of the Klang Gates Quartz Ridge and is a mere 13km away from KLCC.
Refined elegance is the defining trait of this exclusive development of exceptional creativity. This development features a contemporary yet timeless architectural design and all units come with green building features.
It has been awarded the Provisional Green Building Index certification for Design Assessment. This is a truly sustainable development for the informed purchaser.
Creativity can be seen from the blended design of indoor and outdoor living spaces.
All villas open-up rearwards on the second floor towards the beautifully landscaped linear garden with a 146m natural water creek that meanders all the way to the clubhouse.
This provides an interconnectivity that is pleasing, efficient and unified. The linear garden also acts as an extension of the outdoor living space and allows for children to play freely without any vehicular traffic at this elevated podium.
During the planning process, green features were incorporated. For one, the development utilises the original undulating topography of the land, meaning minimal cut and fill was done.
Also, part of the design philosophy was the provision of passive cooling, which takes in the chill rainforest air of the night and retains and releases it within the concrete structure during the hot, humid tropical day.
The ground floor’s long covered entrance foyer to individual units provides ample shade and cooling benefits that permeate all the lowrise landed units.
16 Quartz provides a world-class living experience.
Among 16 Quartz's unique green-living feature is the impressive 30% greenery in the entire development, compared to typical housing developments with only 10%.
This was achieved with the unique Green Deck that boasts four thematic gardens; namely Spring Garden, Pebble Creek, Willow Creek and Summer Garden.
Natural lighting is promoted in every room designed for residential purposes with generous use of full-height windows, reducing energy consumption while a rainwater harvesting system leads to reduction in potable water consumption.
Water-efficient quality fittings are used in all units, resulting in saving of annual potable water consumption.
Permanent and accessible recycling bins are prepared to educate residents and promote recycling practices. A recyclable storage area is also provided within the refuse chamber.
In clinching the award, Mitraland Group believes there are many winning factors to 16 Quartz.
First of all is its location. Very few developments can say they have the longest quartz ridge in the world as a visual backdrop.
Next are the linear gardens, which won a Merit award at the Malaysia Landscape Architecture Awards.
Owners are greeted with beautifully landscaped greenery as soon as they open their doors.
Another highlight is that all villa car parks are located at the lower ground, cutting down on vehicular traffic. Therefore, children are able to play safely outdoors, offering parents and guardians peace of mind.
When it came to architectural design, 16 Quartz preserved most of the natural surrounds. The villas are composed in a staggered configuration in cascading urban forms.
Standing tall – a four-storey private clubhouse overseeing the KL skyline.
Also, the existing site terrain varies by 17 meters from the lowest point at the arrival entrance to the highest point of the site, allowing the entrance foyer and car park to be tucked away below and the landscaped podiums and elevated garden decks of the linear gardens to be located above.
This maximises the landscape areas and provides for the best use of the land parcel.
The concept and design of 16 Quartz were simply inspired by the organic beauty of the quartz ridge and forest reserves. From the get-go, the developer wanted to preserve and enhance the natural surroundings as much as possible and to build homes offering simplistic elegance while promoting one’s well-being.
An exceptional development for Mitraland Group, 16 Quartz is inspired by the concept of 'Live Green, Live Luxuriously', which promotes perfect harmony between high-end living and blending with nature. This is defined by the exclusive homes integrated seamlessly into green environments.
Fiabci Malaysia Property Awards is known for its stringent and thorough judging process. With judges having total anonymity to deter outside influence, it further anchors the awards’ credibility.
To achieve an accolade such as this is an incredible honour as it acts as a stamp of excellence and will further strengthen Mitraland Group’s brand image while reinforcing its credibility among the Malaysian public.
