SITE

After market In front of our site happening (market) in the morning, our site's back lane becomes lively at night Back lane also one of the issues within our site.

DESIGN STATEMENT Our site is located at Pudu and opposite Pudu wet market. The leading age group on our site is the elderly and adults. Due to the rapid development in KL, few of the significant landmarks and colourful elements last time, which are part of the collective memory of the locals who have lived in Pudu area have since been demolished, such as five cinemas and railway station. The lively environment and neighbourhood keep changing from previous to now. In front of our site happening (market) in the morning, our site's back lane becomes lively at night. The back lane shows the more real and energetic lifestyle on our site.

The back lanes can also be a place for neighbours to socialize, children to play, and various social interaction purposes (Beasley, 1996; Martin, 2000).

Back lane is important between a neighbourhood in Asian countries, which is a public shared living room of everyday uses. Most people are not aware of the needs, functions, and potential of social space in the back lane, although they are conscious of the existence of the back lane in their daily lives. The back lane behind our site contains the potentials to become lively open spaces and create neighbourhood connections. It also can become a catalyst for the revival of pedestrian activity to promote relations between communities. Suppose the back lane becomes pedestrian prior and prompts with people, which creates a reasonably continuous human flow. In that case, it will increase the number of effective eyes on the back lane and solve the back lane issue on our site.

In building massing design, I open up the ground floor for the public area and create the permeability from the back lane to the front yard. The building's massing is divided into two; pedestrian circulation is created from the back lane to the plaza between two massings on the ground floor. For the upper floors, the area is used for co-living and co-working for the young generation. Multi-direction of elevations on the upper levels created to allow the upper floors' circulation and activity can be seen from outside whether it is from front or back. Physical connection happens on lower floors, and visual contact occurs on the level of upper floors, whether it is from outside to building or from building to outside.

Young Generation

Transitional Place

To live and work in KL

A place for the young generation to live when they come into the city to work in the early phrase

PUBLIC Lobby, Cafe, Outdoor Theater, Event SpacePlace for Vendors, Place for Flea Market, Plaza

CO-LIVING (Close to 55,000 people who work within downtown KL historical core. However, only about 11,000 live in KL. A large percentage of which are migrant workers. This affects the balance of activities, communities and commerce whitin the city core)

CO-WORKING

BUILDING MASSING

Most of the typical residential high-rise buildings, activities of the resident only take place within the building

Activities of the resident take place surround the building; natural lighting and ventilation becomes a problem when the massing become wider

The massing of the building becomes narrower to have better ventilation and natural lighting

Ground floor is opened up for the public area, bring in the public around the site, create a neighbourhood connection The building's massing is divided into two; pedestrian circulation is created from the back lane to the plaza between two massings on the ground floor, pedestrian and community activity can be happened whithin ground floor

Visual Contact

Visual Contact

PERMEABILITY Building serves as a linkage between back lane/ back yard and front yard on site Circulation and activity of the upper floors can be seen from outside Visual contact occurs on the level of upper floors, whether it is from outside to building or from building to outside.

STRUCTURAL & SERVICES DIAGRAM

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENTS OPEN CORRIDORS Open Corridors allow for cross ventilation prevailing wind through the building

PLANTER BOX Planter boxes on the facade provide additional shading and buffer the hot wind from outside and offer cold prevailing winds to space

PERFORATED FACADE The perforated facade is a double facade layer on the outermost of the building and can partially shade from direct sunlight and allow cross ventilation

GREEN ROOF Green roof can excellently tackle for the thermal issues especially in tropical climate country.

Green roof boosting thermal performance and reduce energy used in a building.

TECHNOLOGY COMPONENTS

Solar Panel Solar panels rooftop collect clean renewable energy in the form of sunlight and convert that light into electricity which can be used to reduce the energy use in the building.

Rainwater Harvesting System Rainwater can be used in toilet and landscape on ground floor and roof garden.

Rainwater harvesting system captures accumulation of rainwater from rooftop and the planter boxes which located on the facade and channel into rainwater downpipe to filtration sump and stored in basement rainwater harvesting tank.

Rainwater Havesting Tank located on basement
