Project Conception

Strategically, we maximized the massing design toward North-South solar orientation with interior cores that are porous horizontally as well as vertically to promote natural ventilation, green space and views connectivity.

Architectural Design Concept

The North and South massing perfectly carve out the spine that runs down the entire length of the site. Multiple levels ensure visual connectivity in addition to a healthy green space, yoga deck, swimming pool, gym, and children's playground in the middle where people would come together. This resembles a Square in the middle of the site.

Despite height limitation, we managed to carve out certain interior spaces that are double and triple in ceiling height. These common spaces are directly facing the Spine, connecting people and activities together and making it a true community development.

Inspired by the lines and forms of the local architecture and temples, we translated those articulation into our balcony projection. Those lines become the identity of the project.
