Ilham Tower, also known as Ilham Baru Tower and IB Tower is a 58-storey, 274-metre-tall skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is Malaysia's seventh tallest building.[1] The design of Ilham Tower is the outcome of an extensive and meticulous form-finding process. Its diagonal exoskeleton, which includes triangulated concrete frames and external trusses, contrasts with the elegant glazing that forms part of the building's structural facade.
The architecture of Ilham Tower, characterized by its dramatic lines and form, is poised to become a city landmark. The tower comprises 33 floors of office suites and 22 floors of serviced apartments, totaling a gross floor area of 93,000 m2 (1,000,000 sq ft).[3] Additionally, Ilham Tower provides parking facilities for both employees and visitors.[4]
