In a world racing toward tomorrow, it was the quiet power of imagination that took center stage at the “The Future I Want to Live In” Art Contest 2026 , a meaningful collaboration between Jesselton International and Kinabalu International School . This was not merely an art competition. It unfolded as a gallery of dreams, where young minds painted cities not just of steel and glass, but of conscience, culture, and care. A Canvas of Tomorrow Each artwork became a window into possibility. Themes of sustainability, heritage, and inclusivity flowed across canvases like living blueprints. Towering green cities coexisted with ancestral motifs, while rivers ran clean beneath skylines powered by imagination rather than pollution. At the heart of the event, Ryan Chu reflected on a truth both simple and profound: development may shape physical spaces, but the real archi...

Luxury, at its highest expression, is not designed to impress. It is designed to endure. At The V by Jesselton, living spaces are conceived with a quiet understanding of modern refinement. Here, architecture recedes just enough to allow light, space, and proportion to take the lead. The result is a residential experience that feels composed rather than curated. Each suite unfolds with a natural sense of flow. Interiors are open yet intimate, structured yet relaxed. Floor-to-ceiling glazing draws the outside in, framing panoramic views of the bay and city as part of daily life rather than distant scenery. Light moves freely across the space, softening edges and elevating every moment within. This is living defined by clarity. Materials are selected for their tactility as much as their beauty. Finishes speak in measured tones, allowing residents to imprint their own rhythms and rituals onto the space. There is no excess to distract, no ornamentation to overwhelm. Only a sense of calm per...

 Every iconic city carries a moment of origin. A place where movement gathers, where vision takes form, where identity quietly announces itself. For Kota Kinabalu , that moment rises at the bayfront. Along this coveted stretch of coastline stands The V by Jesselton , a development that does more than occupy a prime address. It defines one. Here, the city’s relationship with the sea is reimagined through architecture that feels deliberate rather than declarative, confident without excess. The V does not compete for attention. It commands presence through restraint. From its elevated vantage, the city unfolds in layers. The open horizon ahead, the urban rhythm behind, and in between, a lifestyle shaped by balance. Residents experience a rare duality: the calm of the waterfront paired with the immediacy of city life. Mornings begin with light reflecting off the bay. Evenings settle into a skyline alive with movement and possibility. This is not a location chosen by chance. It is...
