1. Introduction
1.1 Abstract
The project acts as a solution to the Inactiveness and absence of diverse activities
available in Taman Tasik Titiwangsa. It is also a response to a national issue, the
decline of intangible cultural heritage, the traditional games of Malaysia.
Therefore, the “ traditional games and recreation park” envisage to revive the
community by introducing new activities to site to and at the same time, bring
the traditional games back to the spotlight, to attract and educate the young to
the diversify experience. Hence, the “timeless” quality of the park suggests
activities from the past, existing, to new activities, whether or not they need
dedicated spaces or multipurpose (hybrid) spaces.
As the site is located beside the strategic park, the project took advantage to
build “an extension of a park”, bringing in pedestrian to the building where
activities happens within landscape.
The report serves the purpose of demonstrating the ability of developing design scheme
with the incorporation of site and contextual studies, design intention strategies,
environmental strategies and technological resolutions. Each aspect is hereafter broken
down and analysed to ensure the structural integrity, sustainability and buildability of the
above project.
1.2 Introduction to project
The site is situated in in Taman Tasik Titiwangsa. Behind one of Kuala Lumpur main access
route, Jalan Tun Razak, the site is surrounded by the heritage museum belt (Istana
Budaya, National Library, Fine Art Museum). However, looking into a closer shot, only
traditional dance and play, literature and fine art are focused in these institutional icons,
with the exception of the traditional games of Malaysia.
On the other hand, the site is famous for its recreation park. Since its opening in 1975,
the park offers various activities such as horse riding, go Kart, water sports and more but
due to its poor management, the park no longer provide these diverse activities, leaving
only jogging, cycling and playground which is identical to the current condition of Taman
Tasik Perdana as well.
Stadium Titiwangsa and existing tennis court on site offers community recreational sports
but they are of private management, which are not available for the public. Sitting
adjacent to one of the main ingress point of Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, the site is a potential
spot to invite the human circulation from the plaza in front of the site all the way into the
compound.
Therefore, the project tackle both community and national issues to form relevance to site
and suggesting a necessity of such project on the context itself in hopes to create an
architecture of ‘sustaining humanities’ - for people, place and time.

1.3 Project Aims and Objectives
The project provides a platform to reintroduce the intangible cultural heritage back to
our young generation, as well as to add value to Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, adding
diversity of sport and recreation activities to the site, caters to all age group, making an
impact, not only on a community scale but on a national level.
1. Educate and nurture the young of the lost heritage
Provide workshops and lecture rooms as platform to heighten recognition and
status of traditional games of Malaysia such as gasing, wau and sepak takraw,
both locally and worldwide. The project aims to facilitate in inculcating the
importance of cultural heritage to the youth.
2. Improve the monotonousness of the existing sport and recreation
facilities in Taman Tasik Titiwangsa
Adding diversity of choice of activities by introducing new activities available in
Malaysia but not introduced to site such as Dodgeball, Diabolo and
skateboarding, making Taman Titiwangsa a holistic recreation park, beside
having scenery as its only attraction point.
3. Leading in introducing foreign activities to Malaysia
Attract bigger user groups not only within neighborhood but crowd within state
and outstation as well. Introducing foreign activities such as Parkour and VR 360
sport that has not been officially recognized and presented in Malaysia, allows
the youth to get in touch with these foreign sports that is more relevant to their
generation.
4. Role in valuing recreation sports in youth development
Making Malaysia pioneer in fostering culture of sports to the youth and also to
the public. Creates an enabling environment and act as a catalyst and facilitator
for the promotion and development of youth and sports around the
neighborhood.
2. Site Investigation & Contextual Studies
Site is strategically situated in Jalan Tembeling, off a 4000sqm plot, facing across the
57 hectares lake and adjacent to Stadium Titiwangsa. The district is a public open
space zone of Class D6: Sports and recreation facilities where the Titiwangsa Lake
Gardens is a city-hall operated (DBKL) public park coordinated by the landscape and
recreation department and is listed as one of the major green corridor linking from the
cultural precinct along Jalan Tun Razak and Taman Tasik Titiwangsa with Kampong
Bharu into the City Centre. The park is also a major tourist attraction in Kuala Lumpur
because of its breathtaking night view. The neighborhood is sandwiched by DUKE
highway and Jalan Tun Razak which serves as major access route to Kuala Lumpur city
centre. The site is under the landmark view control zone to maintain visual corridor
form the district park to KLCC.
The compound is surrounded by private properties where the proposed building is to
be isolated and focused on potential user group from front. The site suggests a one-
way vehicular circulation as of what it is in Jalan Tembeling.
2.1 Introduction of site

2.2 Historical background
SITE 4
Stadium Titiwangsa
Tennis court
Office
1960s 1980s Present
Taman Tasik Titiwangsa was a tin mining district covering
part of the city centre with tin miners settled down around
the vicinity without proper planning. The mine was one of
the biggest mining ground in Kuala Lumpur.
Site location
The tin mining calls for a halt after being dormant for
years and the abandoned land leads to an expansion
opportunity of new land use. The area was tansformed
into a recreation park during mid 70s. Jalan Tun Razak
was the only major road leading to the lake during that
time.
Denser urban pattern can be seen formed by new urban
development bloom with Jalan Tun Razak transforming
into a institutional zone due to the grown prominence of
the lake, infrastructure such as MRT station is introduced
to the area.

2.3 Site significant issues (macro)
4. Low site permeability to pedestrians
2. Insignificance of primary access to site
1. Imbalance of social class 3. Disconnection between residential
and institutional zone
The institutional zone is fenced with attention directed at Jalan Tun
Razak. Residents around neighborhood merely utilizes the park.
Therefore, even though Taman Tasik Titiwangsa act as buffer zone
between institutional zone and residential. Therefore, there is no
interaction between social groups around the area. Outsiders mostly
use the park, hence the community can be said to be isolated to the
surrounding.
Jalan Kuantan serves as main access road to Taman
Tasiktitiwangsa. However, the one-lane road does not serve the
purpose of attracting the public into the district because of the
lack of signage and condition of road and surrounding.
The estimated journey to the nearest MRT stations is
around 20 mins on foot. Besides, the bus schedule
is not frequent and often off-schedule. Therefore,
the only conventional way for outsider to approach
site is by cars.
Properties in Taman Tasik Titiwangsa is mostly of freehold tenure with
an estimated land price of RM800+- per sq in average, the residential
area is mostly constituted of higher social class. Students in the area
came from other community or districts of different social class.

The district is constituted of different grain pattern due to the improper planning
during the early days and the seperation of zones after 2000s.
1. Fine grain (scattered): The scattered fine grain can mainly be found in
residential area in Taman Tasik Titiwangsa. It is relatively scattered compared
to other residential area as the area is made up of higher social class, with
each household possess bigger land area and further apart, neighborhood
mostly made up of self-built bungalows.
2. Coarse grain: Coarse grain is formed by the invasion of institutional building
to the district. Each building is isolated and there is no connection between
coarse and fine grain.
3. Fine grain (Gridiron): This urban pattern is the typical row-to-row terrace
house district planning introduced in later days, streets are arranged in order
and organized
Connectivity (road system)
Hierarchy road system is
implemented in districts whereby
roads ranges from big to small
according to primary (highest
number of lanes), secondary,
tertiary (smallest number of lanes)
to service road. Primary circulation
runs through nodes and landmarks
within or about district and
secondary circulation mainly occurs
within neighbourhood or
landmarks.
In KL city, land use for open space
and recreational land use decreased
from 179.28 to 170.25 hectares from
1980 ro 2007. As the city gets
warmer each year its commercial,
undeveloped and reserves land
increased, while its open space ,
recreational, residential and
institutional land decreased like the
main zonings in Taman Tasik
Titiwangsa. UHI in Titiwangsa Lake
Garden is recorded as 28.0 C which is
relatively low as compared to city
centre. This is because it has lower
population density and large area of
green.

Most institutional building around the vicinity is inspired by traditional malay
architecture and features malay elements as discussed in below:
Istana Budaya: Design inspired by Sirih Junjung,
traditional malay flower arrangement, traditional
malay house layout
Balai Seni Visual: takes on the traditional Rumah
Bumbung Panjang roof structure with a
contemporary touch
Stadium Titiwangsa: Layered roof design is the
key feature of traditional malay house. The
stadium uses polycarbonate and glass instead as
a design reinterpretation
Roof pattern inspired by kain songket and form
takes on the tengkolok design signifying
intellectual pride and respect in the Malay culture
Nodes and landmarks
Nodes can mainly be found within
Titiwangsa Park such as food kiosk and
restaurants which are crowded from time to
time throughout the day; Bicycle rental and
playground during daytime; adjacent
schools especially during school break
hours. The Titiwangsa train station is the
biggest node as it is the interchange station
between LRT/monorail line. Taichi and
group exercise can be seen in several open
places within the park and they are of
informal nodes where these spaces are
flexible in terms of usage.
Hard edges can be visibly seen between
zoning and they are bounded by urban
typology .The edges forms disconnection
between zonings, creating issue of
permeability in terms of pedestrian
circulation, Soft edges can be identified
within the institutional zone where public
hardly access these building from within
Titiwangsa park, the back lane is mainly
used only by office workers. This soft edge
created a sense of pedestrian barrier and
disconnection between the lake and visitors
coming from the institutional buildings.

3.Project Background & Design Intentions Strategies
3.1 Micro site analysis
Pedestrian circulation
Future development
Jalan Tun Razak is the main ingress /egress
point from KL city centre. Jalan Kuantan
serves as primary circulation, linking Jalan
Tun Razak and the lake. Jalan Temerloh and
Jalan Tembeling is main access for the move-
about of the community as these roads
circulate the perimeter of the park. Secondary
circulation can be found within the vicinity of
residential and institutional zone, the only
difference between the two is the volume of
traffic and vehicular fluctuation and
congestion occurs only in primary roads.
River of Life project has been in the spotlight
during the recent years as it is a river-cleaning
project throughout a 110-km stretch involving
eight rivers, namely, Sungai Gombak, Sungai
Keroh, Sungai Batu, Sungai Jinjang, Sungai
Bunus, Sungai Klang, Sungai Ampang and
Sungai Kerayong that runs through KL city. The
vision is to turn these waste rivers into iconic
attractions through beautification and
cleansing to increase economic viability to the
country as well as the site (adjacent Gombak
River to be potential attraction spot after
modification). High-rise residential
developments to bring in more permanent
user groups to site. Titiwangsa MRT station is
expected to open in July 2022, located in front
of Istana Budaya. This means an opportunity in
bringing in public from different part of KL city.
Human activities
Target user group
Activities around Titiwangsa Lake is rather
monotonous such as jogging, cycling and
playground activities, these are the activities
that can be found in other recreation park as
well such as Taman Tasik Perdana and KLCC
Park. Horse riding and Go-kart is of private
management where only members can enjoy
these facilities. One suggestion is to diversify
and improve the facilities available in
Titiwangsa Lake, or incorporate new activities
in the proposed building.
One can notice an influx of crowd during
early morning, especially from 6am-8am
where office workers and senior citizens can
mainly be identified before office hours.
Similar manner can be seen between 7pm-
9pm where some office workers and old folks
prefer evening walk. Students can also be
spotted from 2-4pm during weekdays where
their P.E class mainly takes place in
Titiwangsa Lake. Jogger, cyclist and family
visits the park throughout the day, be it
weekend or weekdays.

1. Vehicular congestion caused by illegal
parking
The existing parking lot provided by the park is not
sufficent for the amount of visitors. Therefore, illegal
parking can be found on both side on road in Jalan
Tembeling, Jalan Temerloh and Jalan Kuantan
Significant site issues (micro)
2. Monotonous activities available in
Taman Tasik Titiwangsa
Activities in Titiwangsa lake is similar to Taman Tasik
Perdana or KLCC Park like jogging, cycling and
playground activities. Stadium Titiwangsa, tennis court
and horse riding are private facilities where public
cannot access
3. Illegal and informal rubbish
dumping ground
Food stalls and kiosks in Titiwangsa Lake are not
provided rubbish bin and this result to an irresponsible
behaviour of illegal dumping at empty space beside
the stalls. Rubbish can also be spotted on road caused
by the food trucks and tents around the area.
4. Vandalism of sports and recreational
facilities in park / security
Vandalism is one of the main issue faced in site where
part of private and public facilities are damaged. There
is no schedule patrolling around the neighborhood
Site permeability (pedestrian)
Site permeability (vehicular)
Site can be accessed from main ingress point
(Jalan Tun Razak) that is mostly used by the
public and also from the north, Jalan Chan
Chin Mooi, as secondary ingress point, mostly
used by local residents. The two ingress points
leads to Jalan Kuantan, which serves as the
primary road moving about the neighborhood.
From Jalan Kuantan, users can access Jalan
Tembeling which is where the site is located.
Users coming from the east or north find
inconvenience in reaching destination, as they
might need to take a lap to arrive to site.
Poor pedestrian walkability towards the park if
the public visits Titiwangsa Lake using public
transports due to the pedestrian barriers. One
have to make a detour around the institutional
buildings to get to the site, therefore,
pedestrian route can be seen isolated and
disconnected from the street network. Besides,
due to the high number of private and semi-
private government sectors on the east and
south, soft edges is formed.

3.2 Precedent studies
San Wayao Community Sports Center Zhonghe Sports Center
Takeaways: Distribution of space, crowd diversion from ground level,
Quietness to surrounding, choice of material and colors
Takeaways: Design approach, Site context, visual connection, height and
proportion
Continuous sloping roof is an open public space with big steps
acting as a walking route and bleachers for the east sports
ground in the same time. Moreover, lawn roof provides spaces
for grass skating, yoga, picnic and more for the community
without charging a fee. People could walk slowly up to roof
deck on 4th floor along the slope and down through a
cantilevered stairway on the north. These form a round route in
an “artificial hill” bringing the pleasure of climbing a real
mountain into the crowded city town.
Sport facilities cover half of the massing,
while retail, MEP and parking covers ¼
each. Public activities on outdoor
landscape and interior is dedicated to
ball sports and swimming pool.
With the aim of producing a friendly sports
space, the concept is to make the building
and site integrated. Creating a sloping shape
of the building by “extruding” and connecting
the sports ground on the east with walkable
sloping roof lead to a stronger space
perception of the building as a public facility.
The given site is located inside a large recreational
park with a small footprint for buildings to be erected
within. The plot is bounded by a main road to the
north, an existing parking lot to the east, a swimming
facility to the west and an outdoor basketball court to
the south.
The design concept came from the idea of stacking all
the required programs in the most compact form,
which incorporates playful building sections that
engage indoor space with outdoor surroundings, and
at the same time, involves spatial arrangements with
visual connectivity. The field hockey rink is housed
away from the main building and bury it deep into the
basement, revealing only its triangulated roof with
grass covered on top. By doing so, one is able to
reduce the building height and create less urban
congestion in terms of building mass and scale.
all the column spacing are equal and aligned, all the facades
are modulated and unitized, and all the structure pieces are
easily erected and assembled. Moreover, to further save cost,
only long-span spaces were realized with steel structure, while
the rest of the building was constructed with reinforced
concrete on the lower floors.

3.3 Design intentions
Programs consideration:
Dedicated spaces: Swimming pool, badminton court, football court, skateboarding,
Parkour, basketball court, rock-climbing, ping-pong (to be finalized and justified)
Required spaces: Cafeteria, Reception, accommodation, office, MEP, loading-unloading
bay to house in Administrative building.
3.4 Programs and project brief
The building serves as an extension of the park, with main circulation interweaving with Parkour
course and front park with skateboarding trail, this suggest a familiarity of a park layout and
trigger users to experience parkour course and skateboarding trail, and by finishing experiencing
the spaces users find themselves at the entrance of administrative building. Toilets to have
separated massing facing the back to block foul smell, situated beside gathering node and drop
off point.
Dedicated spaces and hybrid spaces
The concept of the recreation park is
Timeless, activities ranges from new to
past (traditional) . Nature of space
required for each activities were
studied. As the building wishes to
house programs in its most compact
form, activities like gasing (past),
diabolo (present), VR 360 (future) are
able to share the same court, same ro
the sepak tatraw-futsal-dodgeball
hybrid court. Hybrid spaces are more
flexible and cater to more user groups.
Building is to be 3 floors and below and design not to disrupt
buildings around and pay respect to features of institutional
buildings.
As the site is located at the buffer zone between institutional and redisential zone, the
proposed building is to pay respect to both aspect of site, as stated below. Also,
building is to be as quiet as possible, program to be in its most compact form,
minimising its massing footprint to reflect the topography of recreation park context.
Frontage facing Jalan Tembeling to house foreign activities
such as Parkour and skateboarding and to merged into
landscape, creating a “activities within the landscape” design.
Design to attract public from existing node across the road
(jetty plaza) and to take note on trail path. Visual connection
should be considerated.
Design that draw public from ground level up to massing.
Activities blend in with main circulation route.
The main intention is to introduced new activities, to face Jalan
Tembeling and traditional games to be in administrative
building, providing workshops and lecture room to educate the
young. Design to look innovative and energetic because main
user group would mainly be youth from 13-18. Site to be
considered as an extension of Titiwangsa Park, with shared
traits and design features.

3.5 Site response 3.6 Spatial programming
An artificial hill is created spanned with wide steps to drive
public up to massing. The hill is to be seen as an extension of
the titiwangsa park.
Semi public hybrid space to lower down to 2 levels above
ground and span until lower ground floor to form hierarchy of
space and make building as quiet as possible to site.
Layering of plans in administrative building is the
reinterpretation of layering of roof of the traditional malay
house roof implemented in institutional building around
neighborhood. The floor slab serves as sunshading purpose
and suggest underlightedness.
Space layout is inspired by malay house layout, Serambi as
atrium and anjung as outdoor porch. Rumah Ibu houses
reception and office while Rumah Dapur is the secondary
massing accessed through pelantar (connecting bridge)
Design to reflect Titiwangsa Park layout to create familarity to
users. Existing trails in the park is “extended” to site,
connecting public from park to building.
Administrative building to be biggest massing and green is
compensated back to rooftop garden, as well as hybrid grass
field in hybrid building. Water features are of deffirent level
extending the water body into the site.
Design is first developed through grid arrangement. 30’
grid is for sunshading and seperation of past, existing
and new activities and 45’ is north-south wind direction
where main circulationis placed to take advantage of
ventilation.
Void created by the artificial hill is utilized by skateboarding
park to create a under-the-bridge informal skateboarding
and loading-unloading bay to separate public from vehicular
circulation.
Ground floor plan
First floor plan
Pedestrian can fisrst spot a large pond in front of hybrid building and this lead them to the front park trail. Users can
choose to experience space using Parkour course, ramp or park trail to get themselves into administrative buidling.
Skateboarding park is located at the void created by Parkour course. Workshops, lecture room, M&E and loading bay is
located in ground floor of main building. Hybrid court can be accessed from the front as well as drop off area at the
back. Front focuses on pedestrian while the back give way to vehicular circulation. Cars to circulate in one-way
circulation.
First floor in main building features semi-open atrium, drawing crowd from ground level into reception /café area.
Office is located beside reception. Hybrid field is located above the double-volumed hybrid court, facing the Titiwangsa
lake to avoid glare from the east-west sun. Toilet is available in main building for public and another beside field with
showering facilities.

14

Second floor plan
Rooftop plan
Through the plan, one can see that the only massing is of main administrative building, reflecting the concept of
minimizing building footprint on site. Second floor is semi-public, featuring ANJUNG cafeteria (porch) overlooking the site
and Titiwangsa lake. Beside, this floor is mainly occupied by dormitary (bunk bed and single-bed room) for guests.
Rooftop is designed to compensate the green used up by the massing. Rooftop features planter box and seatings and a
huge pond overlooking Titiwangsa lake, this forms a visual connection formed through the water body. Rooftop can be
accessed through both lift and feature stairs where activities like wau-flying and yoga is held.
3.7 Morphological / form studies

4.Environmental and Technological strategies
4.1 Site planning strategies
The design features a functional wall that cuts through the site. The wall serves as rock-
climbing wall and also for shading purpose. The wall is positioned in such a way that blocks
back park during the morning (jogging and yoga), and the front park during the afternoon
(skateboarding and parkour)
Morning sun (7-10am)
Afternoon sun (2-6pm)
4.2 Orientation: Wind and Solar analysis
Solar analysis
Shadow study
7am 10am 12pm
2pm 4pm
Through the shadow studies, one can see that the site is shaded by
Stadium Titiwangsa and Office building. However, from 10am to 2pm,
site is exposed to sun. Therefore, wall is placed 30’ just enough to shade
sun during these hours, let ample sunlight into site but not too exposed
during early morning and late afternoon.
Main circulation is placed facing northeast-southwest wind direction,
making sure circulation area is well ventilated.
Skateboarding park has openings that allow
cooler morning sun to penetrate through
the space while blocking off afternoon sun
at the west entrance. Rooms in
administrative buildings are well shaded
while lecture hall are partially exposed to
morning sun. Hybrid court is covered by
field above with the intention of blocking
excessive sunlight entering the double-
volume space.
The semi-open atrium at first floor is completely shaded by
roof level, suggesting an underlightedness as mentioned
in design intention. Double-volumed reception is has
sufficient sunlight, creating an warm and soft mood.
Private spaces (accommodation) suggest privacy therefore
only minimal sunlight can enter these spaces. Only
desirable amount of sunlight penetrates through cafeteria
to create a cool and well ventilated environment.
The feature act as sunshading device to
the back park, shading morning
activities. Besides, rooftop garden
shades the semi-open atrium below,
giving a cool and dim environment for
cafeteria and reception.

Wind analysis
Ample sunlight penetrates into skateboading park in the
morning and opening aboves serves as skylight in the
afternoon to create the under-the-bridge street
skateboarding atmosphere.
Rock-climbing sport is placed at the back of feature
wall to get sunshading from afternoon sun. The
functional wall also helps to shade back park where
yoga and group exercise is held.
The triangular void below the rock-climbing is designed in a way that only partial of the
afternoon sun can penetrate through to lower ground floor. The void beside hybrid court is
a small garden with water feature, keeping lower ground floor bright and lively but at the
same time absorb heat that enters the court.
Only minimal sunlight can penetrate into hybrid court as the hybrid field above covers the
walkway and double-volumed space below. Stack ventilation is formed driving out the hot
air from lower ground to ground level.
Ground floor
First floor
Second floor
Main circulation is placed in consideration of the northeast-southwest wind, making full use of
the wind as natural ventilation. Outdoor space are mostly naturally ventilated. Only part of
administrative building is naturally ventilated such as cafeteria and reception area.
Artificial hilll is created not only with the intention of drawing public from ground level up to
main massing, but also to direct wind into the semi-open atrium and cafeteria. The wind enters
the building and drive hot airs to rooftop area, creating a stack ventilation effect.

5.3 Environmental Strategies

5.4 Sustainability Concepts

Cooling effect and biofilter

Self-sustainable ecosystem

Rooftop rainwater harvesting and
drip irrigation system

The design incooporate a large area of park and a rooftop garden which serves as an
extension to the existing ecosystem in Titiwangsa Lake. The biodiversity introduced to the
site is self-sustainable as in the species are not interdependent, however the intention is to
introduce new species to site, adding value to the lake as well.
7m high creeper
plantation with
Irrigation trellis
Creepers are planted in planter boxes located
at the perimeter of rooftop. The plant grows
down to ground level on a trellis system with
drip irrigation. This “green” wall also acts as a
biofilter, bringing a cleaner air into the
building.
Lake Front park Rooftop garden
Rainwater is first collected through the planter
drain into the overflow standpipe, where it goes
through a filtration proess before being stored in
the underground storage tank. The water is then
use for irrigation, on both rooftop and front park.
Drip irrigation has the potential to save water and
nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to
the roots of plants. Therefore, freshwater used
from supply pipe is minimized and save cost on
water bill.

5.5 Energy conservation features

Having a double volume means more
penetration of sunlight into space, hence
less usage fo artificial lighting. The large
volumed recpetion area drives cool air in
and hot air up to second floor, released
back to the atmosphere. While mechanical
ventilation is optional, the space is fully
dependent on natural ventilation.
1. Double volumed reception area
and hybrid court
2. Greenroof and rooftop grass field 3. Cooling through natural
ventilation
5. Greywater reuse for toilets
6. Low-E laminated glass

4. Evaporative cooling
7. Regenerative lift
The double-glazed low-E laminated glass is
designed to reduce heat loss but admit
solar gain. Ordinary glass poses the
problem of allowing a lot of heat inside
during the daytime, causing overheating,
while low-e glass has a tendency to emit
lesser heat than conventional glass. This is
possible because of a thin coating of metal
oxide present on the glass. This kind of
glass is to be installed as curtain wall in
administrative building as well as hybrid
building.
1
As mentioned above, Greenroof, and the
rooftop grass field, are one of the main
design feature, hoping to compensate the
green taken up by the massing. The garden
comes with a large pond and they are self
sustainable and does not require fresh water
for watering and cleaning. The greenroof,
together with the creeper, absorb heat that
enters the building.
Cross ventilaion design on ground floor,
supplyig fresh air in and removing stale air from
rooms and corridor to surrounding.
The water body lower the surrounding
temperature and increase the humidity of
air by using latent heat of evaporation,
changing liquid water to water vapor. In
this process, the energy in the air does
not change. Warm dry air is changed to
cool moist air.

Greywater is gently used water from the
toilet sinks, showers, tubs, and washing
machines. It is not water that has come into
contact with feces. The easiest way to use
greywater is to pipe it directly outside and
use it to water ornamental plants or trees.
Greywater will be used in watering plants
on ground level and front park.
