Landmark engages with ideas of tension and contrast. The ten-acre site in the heart of Yangon surrounds the 136 year-old former headquarters of the British Burma Railway Company – bringing together the colonial and the urban, the classic and the modern, the past and the future. A dynamic architectural statement is needed to reflect these ideas. The facades of the new towers are fluid, taking a traditional vertical, and in a modern move, twisting the surface into a horizontal. This transition is full of energy, representing Myanmar’s growth and changing horizons. Landmark is comprised of two office towers, a shopping mall and business hotel, a serviced apartment building and a residential building. The aesthetic of the mixed-use complex will be a first for the region.
