Construction update: Completion on track at Forbes Residences in Perth, Western Australia. Swipe ➡️ for architectural rendering.
.
@forbesresidences is designed as a three-dimensional “vertical suburb” that contains liveable, generous homes, shared facilities, common spaces within gardens, natural light and fresh air that weave throughout every level.
.
“Hanging gardens” will drape the podium form and extend up the roof. They will preserve the garden suburb quality that Applecross is known for, create greater privacy, frame views, and enhance sociability.
.
They will also perform meaningful environmental services that benefit not just the development site, but the district – reducing the heat island effect, reducing noise and dust, preventing glare, and providing a habitat for biodiversity.
.
When the Jacarandas are in bloom, the building will be covered in a canopy of vibrant purple flowers. The leafy greenery that characterises Applecross will flow seamlessly through the building, capturing the essence of the neighbourhood.
.
Design Inception: 2018
This project is a collaboration with @mjastudio

In 1968, the renowned Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi unveiled her “crystal easels,” a groundbreaking design approach for displaying paintings at the São Paulo Museum of Art. For Tropical: Stories from Southeast Asia and Latin America, the Gallery actively engaged with Bo Bardi’s designs within the exhibition as a strategy to bridge industrial histories, material expertise and distinct building techniques from the Global South.
.
To bring this vision to life, the Gallery has collaborated with WOHA to engage with Bo Bardi’s designs.
.
In this wide-ranging talk, Richard Hassell @richardhassellart, one of WOHA’s co-founders, will offer insights into the exhibition’s design ethos and reflect on burgeoning questions around postmodern tropicality, urbanism and architecture.
.
The lecture will be followed by a discussion with the exhibition’s co-curator Shabbir Hussain Mustafa.

Reposting @ecogradia: If cities of the future will be dense agglomerations of high-rise, vertical buildings, we need to ensure that they are designed for occupant well-being, instead of just becoming “sealed glass boxes”.
In this extract from Ecogradia season 2 episode 10, Richard Hassell, Co-Founder of Singapore-based architecture practice WOHA, talks about the design for The Met (Bangkok), a 60-storeyed residential building that works with climatic elements to create a bright☀️ and airy🌬️ vertical habitat for its residents.
