RISE was our team's submitted design to the ITAD design
competition centered around the theme of "Our Urban Green
Home". As a mixed-use urban development the limited lot of land
was maximized to provide venues for residential, communal, and
commercial activities wherein the private residential block was
elevated above the public shared spaces below where shop spaces,
small offices and an integrated transport terminal are located
within walkable distance of the local district. As flooding has
become an increasing issue in the metropolis as of late, the
elevated design was akin to approach of traditional housing
prototypes that were able to respond to the context. Additionally,
residential units were to also allow for layouts to flexibly

accommodate households of different sizes, and demographics with
flexible interior partitions.
The development was to be designed for the urban tropical climate
utilizing: an insulating layer of sunshading devices and vegetation;
and natural ventilation strategies with atria and open courtyards.
Integrated programs for rainwater collection & reuse, solar power
generation, and waste management were to enable residents to live
sustainably and reduce ecological impact. Attention was given to
the sustainable sourcing of materials and local tropical flora in the
development.
