For this project, concepts of sustainability were experimented in various combinations to ďŹ nd reduced energy wastage and green living.

Section A-A

Statement: Basing off traditional Persian Windcatcher tower, I have modernised its use for residential purposes. Each end of the house points to the west which receives the most wind. The gaps on the 2nd storey allow the wind to drift into the first floor and out the back, making it suitable for living in SG’s climate.
