Arte S is a residential complex located in Gelugor, a suburb south of George Town, Penang, Malaysia. The complex consists of two residential towers, Tower A and Tower B. Tower A, with 35 stories, has a height of 121.4 m (398 ft). On the other hand, with a height of 186 m (610 ft),[1] Tower B of the complex is the tallest skyscraper of Gelugor, as well as one of the tallest skyscrapers in Penang.[4][5]

Both towers contain a total of 480 residential units, with areas ranging from 584 to 5,560 sq ft (54.3 to 516.5 m2). A notable sight are two pod-like structures named "PODs", each 4-stories tall in height. They occupy the sky-garden of the 35th to the 39th floor of Tower B. Meant for recreational and entertainment purposes, it could accommodate up to 60 people at once.[6] The building has a gross-floor-area of 780,384 sq ft (72,500.0 m2), with 3 underground floors.

Development started in 2013 by Nusmetro (later named as Arte Corp), a Malaysian property and development firm. The design of the structure was undertaken by SPARK, a multi-award winning architectural firm based in London, Shanghai and Singapore.[4] Construction started in 2015, with a scheduled completion date of October 2017.[7] The structure later topped-out in 2017, before full completion in May 2018.[1][2]

The building has been notable for its unusual look among locals, with "rotating-fin-geometries", creating unique observation angles on each floor.[7] The design was inspired by the geography of Penang Island, with the towers sitting between the island's undulating hills and the Penang Strait nearby. The design was praised as being innovative among critics, in which Nusmetro won the "Best Apartment of the Year" award in the 13th Kinpan Awards for this project.[4]
