SUSTAINABILITY

2015

The Aim

- Select and consolidate options selected from Phase II to Phase V

- Site Specific - make use of the characteristic given by the sites

- Maintain the original program and function of the space

- Improve the spatial qualities and exaggerate its function

Design Concept

Making use of the T zone given by the site to create a micro-climate within the zone, to acheive passive cooling by water and vegetation, meanwhile anchoring the exterior with the interior. For the interior space, individual units were connected with another T zone formed by the stairs and terrace, which ultimately the T zones are then connected with the view from terrace.

Design Strategy

To exaggerate the communal space with the T Zones in the exterior and the interior. Meanwhile, exaggerate the private space by the pulling and pushing of a solid facade.
