A façade shaped by the rhythm of rain.
The Rainz is a premium residential development in Bukit Jalil, designed with modern luxury and tropical functionality in mind. The project features three residential towers complemented by recreational facilities such as a rooftop garden, swimming pool, and sky lounge, promoting an elevated urban lifestyle.
Use of PBM Ventilation Blocks
PBM’s VB 608.150 was selected for this project to form striking visual elements along selected building façades. This square ventilation block features a clean front opening and a distinctive angled rear wall, which adds sculptural depth and dramatic shadow play.
🔹 Creative Application:
The block was rotated in alternating directions during installation—some with the angled face inward, others outward—to create a rhythmic pattern of light and shadow across the façade. This allowed a single block model to deliver visual complexity and texture.
🔹 Key Benefits:
•Ventilation and light filtration for semi-enclosed spaces
•Repetition and variation using only one block design
•Durable and weather-friendly for long-term use in external applications
