The design of the layout is interesting for both
its ability to be the selling point of the project,
especially when compared to other condominiums
within the same price range, as well
as how it has proposed a new approach to
residential spaces in urban high-rise condominiums.
Normally, a project of this nature often
comes with some sorts of limitation of how
functional spaces can be adjusted to accommodate
the lifestyle of each owner of each
living unit since there are conditions regarding
the construction of structural and system
works. Kevin Mark Low and the project’s owner,
however, chose a seemingly straightforward
approach that required thoughtful and careful
planning. The bare shell units are designed to
have all the necessary system works, leaving
the floor plan highly flexible for prospective
residents to design and partition several parts
of the unit as desired. Every floor of the condominium
houses only two units (435 and 563
square meters), which can also be connected
into one unit upon the owner’s wish. The room
partitioning can be done to suit each resident’s
lifestyle and behaviors, while each unit has a
private elevator lobby for the residents’ greater
sense of safety and privacy.
The architect also divides each unit into three
main sections; front garden, house and back
garden. These three portions of space offer
uninterrupted spatial continuity but each with
clear functionalities as both public and private
spaces, which are what the targeted users
need. The front garden is designed as a large
patio that opens to a wide view of the city.
The floor is designed and built with one meter
depth, allowing homeowners to grow midsized
trees with maximum 4-5 meter height
or a small pool to bring nature closer to their
everyday life.
