Lumos is a 9-storey serviced apartment located at Jalan Ong Tiang Swee, Kuching, Sarawak, featuring 72 low-density units designed for modern urban families. Adjacent to Lumos is the developer’s corporate office and a communal sports hall, connected via a first-floor bridge exclusively for residents. The apartment’s single-tiered, north-south orientation maximizes privacy and ventilation, with balconies screened by pivot louvre panels and ventilation blocks to enhance airflow and reduce energy use. Embracing contemporary design, off-form concrete walls, exposed staircases, and lush planter boxes soften the building’s form, creating a harmonious living environment. Smart home devices, rainwater harvesting, and sustainable landscape irrigation reflect Lumos's eco-conscious ethos. Security is ensured through a guardhouse, while the sports hall fosters community life. Four layout types (1,100–1,300 sqft) cater to diverse needs. Lumos stands as a thoughtful balance of design, sustainability, and urban comfort — a true light of home in Kuching’s cityscape
