Features mall architecture
project in Singapore to replace more than 122 per cent of the greenery lost to a building’s footprint through the provision of skyrise greenery and landscape areas within the development.
Through vertical green urbanism, the lush environment is divided into four key zones of greenery, Active Laneways, Cascading Skypark, Sky Terraces and Sky Sanctuary, which are incorporated into the 17-story mixed development. These features make it poised to be a modern and enticing focal point for the residents and working population in the West.
The architectural concept of a multi-faceted microcosm harmonizes plans of urban connectivity and accessibility, memorable streetscapes and integrated landscaping.
The Cascading Skypark, also known as ‘Jem® Park’, spreads across three floors (Levels 5, 6 and 7), serving as the building’s ecological and communal heart. This includes children’s play spaces, meeting areas, quiet reflection zones, a cafe and an area focusing on bio-diversity and education, which provides a variety of passive and active recreational spaces that the community can enjoy.
Landscaped Sky Terraces on the office building provide external shading, minimizing heat gain and maximizing opportunities for external views to the surrounding environment. The greenery here thus engages and influences the urban environment, adding value to the city and making it a better place to work and play in.
