Tucked away in Kampung Attap, just beyond the bustle of Petaling Street, stands a row of restored 1950s shophouses that has quietly become one of Kuala Lumpur’s most intriguing creative hubs. The Zhongshan Building is home to artists, musicians, designers, researchers, and craftspeople, all working side by side in a space where ideas seem to travel as freely as people do. What makes a place like this more than just a collection of tenants? How does a building develop a personality, a community, even a kind of soul? For this episode of Stories of KL, we explore the story of The Zhongshan Building, and the people and passions that keep it evolving in unexpected ways.
