A contemporary G+5 apartment building envisioned as a refined urban residential landmark, designed on a compact 3,598 sq. ft. west-facing plot.
The architectural expression embraces simplicity, proportion, and depth through a carefully articulated façade composed of repetitive recessed balconies, clean vertical planes, and a warm earthy material palette.
The building responds thoughtfully to the west-side road frontage by creating deep balcony pockets that reduce direct heat gain while enhancing privacy and shaded outdoor living. The façade geometry establishes a rhythmic play of light and shadow throughout the day, giving the elevation a calm yet strong visual identity. Elevated stilt-level parking creates openness at the ground plane and improves ventilation, while the upper residential floors maintain a balanced combination of functionality and aesthetic clarity.
The planning prioritizes natural light, cross ventilation, and efficient circulation, resulting in comfortable urban homes with well-defined living spaces. A centrally positioned staircase and lift lobby ensure seamless vertical movement while maximizing usable apartment areas on each floor. The project reflects a modern minimalist approach where clean lines, recessed openings, and restrained detailing create a timeless residential character.
The typical floor layout accommodates four apartments per floor with a mix of compact and spacious units ranging from approximately 550 sq.ft to 790 sq.ft, ensuring flexibility for varied family requirements. Living areas are oriented towards balconies and external openings to enhance openness and visual connectivity with the surroundings. Bedrooms, kitchens, and utility spaces are carefully arranged for functional efficiency and ventilation.
