Bold and modernist vision


Striking features: An artist’s impression of the Pods of the Arte S project in Bukit Gambir, Penang.

Arte S is set to be a modernist masterpiece at Bukit Gambir, Penang.

The one-of-a-kind development by Nusmetro Group will see two towers stretching up into the sky, linked by a bridge in between.

Prospective home owners will be wowed by an open concept lobby featuring a textural contrast aimed at instilling a surreal quality.

Then there is a meticulously designed pool that incorporates four overlapping layers that spiral over 50m in length.

The pool will also be dramatically lit up at night, bringing the intricate details of its spiralling architecture to life.

Apart from the pool, another signature feature of the project are the artistically designed Pods which heralds an artistic twist that steps away from the usual bland clubhouse features in most high-rise dwellings.


The two towers of Arte S are set to rise amid the hills.

Located on the 35th floor and spanning four­ storey, the pods are a lifestyle structure meant to provide an entertainment space for residents and their guests.

Residents can choose to lounge and relax while admiring the breathtaking sea and city view of Penang from the pods.

Another choice that will be popular is a smaller pod which boasts the first­ ever ‘hanging’ whirlpool design.

For residents who prefer to flex their muscles and sweat out their stress, the gym pod located on the facilities floor provides a perfect environment for them to do so.

Prospective home owners who value privacy and peace will be pleased to know they will enjoy a private lift from their unit to the car park.

Ranging from 600sq ft to 850sq ft, the units come with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, designed exclusively for young families.

Another important factor that makes Arte S so appealing is its strategic location in Bukit Gambir.

The development is only five minutes from the Penang Golf Club and 10 minutes from the Penang Bridge which grants easy access to the North-South Expressway.

It is also just a stone’s throw away from Green Lane, the residential area in the middle of Penang Island which provides access to George Town, Air Itam and Gurney Drive.

For those who require medical care, Arte S is a mere 15 minutes to private hospitals on the island.

Frequent travellers will benefit from having the Penang International Airport only 10 minutes away.

More exciting features are also in store for residents with the future development slated for the surrounding area.
