Project Summary
 
The project has been developed based on a functional zoning strategy with a large ground floor parking area (the swamp ground makes below grade parking not a feasible option), most public usage on second floor and rooms / apartments above. The schemes also directly address the street front with an engaging silhouette and develops a geometry that maximizes views towards the open waters of the South China Sea.
 
This design achieves stunning views for a majority of units by gently twisting and shifting the building geometry every two floors. Thereby, deck access and roof gardens are generated in a variety of sizes and shapes. The entire canter of the site can be left largely open as a generous courtyard flanked by a uniquely engaging facade. A combination of wood screens, glass and concrete lends the building a rural, yet contemporary appearance, provides shade and a distinct inside and outside facade vocabulary.
