Centre for Coffee Education, Tourism & Community
Nestled at the base of Gunung Lambak in Kluang, Johor, Lambak Brew: The Coffee Experience Center is a place where the aroma of freshly dried coffee fills the air, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the enchanting journey of coffee— from bean to cup. This 1031sqm, four-story centre serves not only as a hub for coffee education and tourism but also as a vibrant community space, offering areas for study, recreation, and connection, addressing the need for shared spaces in this quiet neighbourhood. This building also seamlessly integrates modern vernacular architecture, drawing inspiration from the gentle slopes of Gunung Lambak while paying subtle homage to the rich heritage of Kluang RailCoffee. Dynamic roof heights, playful façades, steel frameworks, timber frames, and pebble landscaping evoke railway tracks, uniting history with nature in its design. This dual-purpose approach enriches the cultural value of the space while establishing it as a vibrant hub for both locals and tourists, seamlessly blending economic growth with social harmony.
