The main feature of the building
is a continuous landscaped ramp which links the
ground floor all the way up to the roof. Adjoining
the landscaped ramp are water features, a grand
stair, terraces and cafeteria. The thickly vegetated
landscaped ramp displayed a variety of tropical
plants while the cascading water feature generates
an ambience of water sound that relaxes both the
visitors and users of the building. |

Ecological Design Principles

•
|
The continuous landscape ramp
provides an ecological (green) lung to the building
enhances the quality of the office and public spaces.
While the internal atrium space operate on passive
(naturally ventilated) energy made with the ability
to switch to mixed-mode system if required. The
cascading water features act as a cooling agent
for the unenclosed spaces
through passive evaporation. The internal planters
of this building is watered by recycled (or grey
water) water system,with water collected from rain-water,
as an environmental conscious approach. |
