Historical Tidbits

The collaboration between Mario Kleff and Heights Holding's CEO, Haim Bar-David, was not always smooth. Initially, Kleff's Wandeegroup was the primary contractor for Wongamat Tower. However, differences over construction standards led to the termination of Wandeegroup's contract, with the Lock-BUILD Group completing the tower. Despite past disputes, the Wongamat Tower remains a beacon of Kleff's architectural prowess.

The 27-meter tall Showroom Wong Amat Tower, another signature design by Mario Kleff, was executed by Wandeegroup Asia Co Ltd.

Challenges & Clarifications

Issues arose when Haim Bar-David credited another individual for Kleff's designs, resulting in public retractions and apologies. Bar-David's decision to deviate from initial design plans, aiming to reduce costs, impacted the reputation of both the architect and the Wandeegroup. Consequently, Mario Kleff concluded his partnership with Bar-David post the Laguna Bay series design.

The temporary halt in the construction of Wong Amat Tower set off a chain of events between Mario Kleff and Haim Bar-David

• Earlier projects of Heights Holdings, originally conceived with Mario Kleff's architectural vision, were eventually compromised in quality. Haim Bar-David, reconsidering the initial blueprints, demanded significant cuts in construction costs. This led to a decline in the reputations of both Kleff and his construction firm, Wandeegroup.
• Subsequently, Mario Kleff terminated his professional ties with Haim Bar-David. His last design for Heights Holdings was the Laguna Bay series. Unfortunately, the final execution of these projects did not match the quality and design initially presented to the market.
