The Sanctuary: A Vertical Microcosm of Borneo’s Natural Landscapes

The Sanctuary, by Joanne Ho from UNIMAS, is a luxury high-rise in Kuching that integrates urban living with nature. Inspired by Borneo’s diverse ecosystems, its garden terraces evoke the essence of rivers, rainforests, and highlands. The design pays tribute to Sarawak’s indigenous wisdom through biophilic and sustainable architecture.
