Adaptable

All typical apartment units feature fine aluminium fins orientated at 45 degrees to north-south, that are devised as operable façade screens which not only provide vertical sun shading without compromising on ventilation, but also allows user-controlled amounts of privacy as well as facade animation.

Livability

Although the market price for Goodwood Residence is still considered una ordable for the mass community of locals, it is considerably cheaper than the Eden at half its price. Comparatively, the design focuses on creating livable spaces against the tropical climate in a more universally-accepted language.

Self- Sustaining

Conceived with sustainable design principles from the very onset, the project showcases several other (below listed) innovative environmental features and demonstrates that the introduction of such green measures, which cost only 1% more in construction cost, need not come at a high premium if adopted early in the design process.

The estimated savings from these implementations are approximately $600,000 on annual utility bills for the home and the common areas, which is equivalent to 20% reduction in the monthly maintenance cost. Goodwood Residence has been awarded the prestigious Green Mark Platinum Award by the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore.

Much of Goodwood’s exterior cladding and louvers are coated in cool tones of light to dark greys with the occasional orange shade that appears on the modular shading device.

Cool tones

01

Green strategy

Planters of 1m width, coupled with projecting balconies of either 2.7m or 4.5m depth, further provide vertical greenery and horizontal shading for the apartments below. Complementing and extending the green of Goodwill Hill are 55 existing trees which are preserved, along with approximately 500 new trees that are native to Southeast Asia.

Tropical Context

Set amidst an enclave of black and white houses just o the prime Orchard/Sco s Road area, and against a verdant 20-hectare backdrop of greenery, the 210-unit Goodwood Residence is conceived on a macro scale as a breathing spacea rarity in high density urbanised Singapore - and an extension of the Goodwood Hill tree conservation area that it shares a boundary of 150m width.

02 | Emphasis

The Verandah

The units at Goodwood are designed to have semiindoor/outdoor spaces reminiscent of the projected drawing studios of the black and white colonial houses from which to fully enjoy the expanse of openness and panoramic views towards Goodwood Hill.
