Masterplan

Accessibility, connectivity and walkability are promoted by the creation of alleyways and suitable sized central plazas. The alleyways are lined with shading by trees, water features as well as serving as shop and building access'.

Concept development

We started off by lifting the entire mass. From there we connected the more important areas to one another via nodes. This served as a reference for walkability and accessibility as well as a guide for our alleyways.

Perspective sketches showing the use of alleyways for visitor interaction. Lining the bottom of our buildings with seating areas that are shaded by both the building cantilever as well as vegetation.

3D rendering

A play on urban furniture. We made sure that seating areas are big enough to be shared by a number of people at the same time. By also adding hidden light fixtures, we were able to illuminate the areas to be more inviting.
