"Living Pockets"

ITAD Design Competition calls for an innovative design proposal for an office building with a site within Singapore.

Living Pockets: We selected an empty site near Marina Bay Sand, and next to it was a popular spot for kite and wau flying. The concept took inspiration from the adjacent activity which is reflected on the fluidity of the form and facade.

At the same time, we were also inspired by the pockets of green within the Singapore’s urban which we applied this inside the building. We amplified and multiplied the greens so that the users of the building would enjoy the maximum
advantage from the green pockets despite of high up in the air.

The infinity loop layout allows bicycle to travels smoothly with gentle curve and ramp. This largely avoided sharp turn and steep ramp which can be uncomfortable to the cyclist and
accident may occur. Another interesting feature within the building is the change of level alternatively, which encouraged interaction between people at one space and another, and
bringing people’s eye level closer to the canopy of a tree instead of the trunk.
