Istana Nurul Iman was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's largest living residence of a state head. Indeed, it is the biggest palace and royal residence of the world. This massive royal dwelling is several times larger than the Palace of Versailles and the Buckingham Palace. The Palace is the house of Brunei’s sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. The palace stands on the banks of the Brunei River, several kilometers south of Brunei’s capital. Istana Nurul Iman is a massive white construction with golden domes and minarets. Breathtaking views of the palace open from the nearby Persiaran Damuan Park. Curved roofs of the buildings and the huge golden dome of the palace mosque rise over green trees.

The inner structure and the outer courtyard are all marble and decorated with mosaics. Flower bushes and fountains were also built along the path leading into the inner hall. 29 golden domes stand here to honor the 29th Sultan of Brunei.

The Mall, Gadong is a unique looking shopping and entertainment complex located in Brunei Darussalam. The one million square foot mall features an international hotel, retail shops, a cinema and commercial spaces. The developer spared no expense in executing his futuristic design. The mall was completed in 2004 using a membrane system to address their concrete waterproofing. After less than three years of service several leaks were discovered including the second level of the basement car park. The owners attempted several times to fix the leaks with a variety of methods including epoxy injection. Nothing was working and the water damage was becoming worse.

The park was the primary outcome of the Sungai Kedayan Eco-Corridor project (hence the name Eco-Corridor Park), a project to revitalise the Kedayan River through flood mitigation, environmental rehabilitation and development of public spaces. The project is also part of the broader Bandar Seri Begawan Development Master Plan which aims to revitalise the capital, particularly in the city centre, with further developments of commercial, residential, social and utility infrastructures.
