Design Orchard

Design Orchard is located at a prominent junction along one of the world’s iconic shopping streets, Singapore’s Orchard Road. The building is designed to act as an incubator for emerging Singaporean designers: integrating a high-profile retail space at ground level with co-working creative spaces at levels two and three. Atop the building is a rooftop public space, which is tiered away from the junction to form an urban amphitheatre and stage along with a shaded pocket park. The collaborative spaces provide a nurturing environment for young designers to go from concept to production, market their products at the retail spaces below, and showcase their designs with fashion and design events at the rooftop garden amphitheatre.

万科云城

Drawing inspiration from the natural landscape and mountain parks in Shenzhen, Vanke Yun City is designed with twelve 7-storey high “Sky Hills” that connect three office towers configured around a centralised core. Accommodating child-care facilities and other amenities for workers, the hills are strategically introduced at Multiple Ground Levels that serve as the refuge and lift transfer floors of the tower. Designed as large internal atria with pockets of cascading sky gardens and planted waterfall valleys, the hills are naturally ventilated outdoor spaces, shielded from the wind and rain. This arrangement opens up the common lift lobby areas to daylight, greenery and fresh air, creating a comfortable micro climate and biophilic working environment within the tropical high-rise.

凯德天府

地处中国西南部的四川省省会成都市正处在一个崛起的阶段,这里不仅拥有秀丽的山水和肥沃的平,也同时积载了丰厚的历史和文化底蕴,如今这座古老的城市正以飞快的速度发展成为一个现代化的大都市和金融中心。凯德天府商城正是坐落在这样一片复苏地域的西面,新南天地商圈的核心地带之中。这座拥有着一幢办公大楼,三栋公寓楼和一个八层楼高大型商场的一站式城市综合体紧邻着连接成都新行政中心和老城区的南北向交通枢纽天府大道,得天独厚的选址使得人们在经过此处的天府高架立交桥时能清楚的一览项目的全貌。商城无论是在白天还是在夜晚都是一处引入注目的地标建筑,彰显着自己独特的风采并吸引着南来北往的顾客。

商城的设计灵感来源于成都当地著名景点青城山独特的地理风貌,借喻于那里的山石将建筑与自然有机的结合了起来。整个建筑的造型犹如一簇巨石,经过开凿打磨后展露里面的水晶块面,像是从周围城市基础设施和混凝土大楼的灰暗基调里拔地而起的一攒光彩夺目的珠宝。而石块与石块之间的“岩缝”则成为了一条条有着茂密植被和错落水景的“山涧峡谷”。这样有趣的自然造型和景观以空中花园的形式一直垂直延续至了商城顶部的办公和公寓塔楼内,在为商城周围其他商业群落提供丰富景致的同时更为物业内的顾客,居民和办公人员带来了享受自然的体验。

花园绿化的主题也被带入了商场的内部设计里,特别是在位于商场四层的溜冰场四周,多种多样的室内植栽形成了一座茂密的温室花园让人们在购物的同时也能亲近和了解自然植物。溜冰场的上方则采用了有着枝叶纹理的穿孔铝板作为天花板,天花内部的灯光经铝板过滤后柔和的撒下来,让人感觉仿佛置身于一大片热带雨林内。此外,溜冰场底部的天花则是一块大型的电子显示屏,模拟着不断变化的天空。

凯德天府的建筑外表皮被赋予了独特而丰富的色彩和纹理,让建筑不至于在成都较为阴沉的气候环境里显得平乏无趣。设计通过铝制饰材,金属穿孔板和玻璃等轻快材料之间的几何组合制造出了对比强烈,丰富多彩的强有力建筑语言。底部群楼立面上犹如被抛光打磨过的块面变成了悬挂节庆横幅,展示品牌商标和零售商品的绝佳界面,而上方办公和居住塔楼上比例讲究的玻璃幕墙则映照着这片天府之国的风云变化。作为整个建筑的主要立面材料之一,经过特别设计的铝制穿孔板不仅是一种对传统中国隔栅的抽象演艺,也在功能上起到了提供隐私和过滤自然光的作用。嵌在这些铝板后的特制灯光会在晚上为商场换上又一层靓丽外衣,如同布满夜空的繁星一般。

这样一个大型的综合体项目就像是成都这座城市的缩影,将天府之国的活力浓缩进了自己的一方天地里。商城的定位旨在迎合社会的文化倾向,为人们提供一个有咖啡厅和公园的独特城市体验和新鲜的生活方式。为了更好的和顾客互动,群楼商场的屋顶部分被设计成了一系列拥有众多景观平台,花园和休闲空间的商业广场,为家庭,青少年,中老年和上班族等不同人群提供了观景,交流,用餐,溜冰以及参加各种活动的极佳场所。这样一个屋顶商业广场也是下方商场内各种商业活动的延伸,为顾客提供了更加全面和连续的购物娱乐体验。

万科峯境

项目是一座位于中国广州市白云地区的商住综合体。设计为中国的城市化进程提出了具有领先意义的环保居住模式,在高密度的城市环境里创造出了可以呼吸的绿色建筑

项目基地比邻绿意昂然的白云山,坐拥着在中国大都市里难得的优良自然环境。设计充分考虑到了这一点并把自然景色作为了建筑造型和布局的主要的出发点。

为了充分的利用景观的优势,小区的楼房被布局成了一个”U”字型,确保了尽可能多的居住单元能享受到不远处的山景。在小区里不同区域和不同楼层的立体绿化和背景中的白云山一起构成了多层次的立体景致,远近呼应的绿意为居民带来了更多的视觉享受。

在每栋居民楼上每隔四层就设有一座空中花园,这些花园与电梯厅相连,将自然带到居民眼前的同时也提供了方便邻里之间社交的平台。除此之外,空中花园设置的数量和间隔还赋予了居民楼一种传统连排别墅那样三至四层的一种更宜居尺度。空中花园的两侧纵向建筑表皮是从二层一直通到屋顶的垂直绿墙,它们与花园结合起来形成了每栋楼的垂直绿核。小区内较低矮的居民楼和所有商用建筑顶部也都被绿化覆盖,成为了除去地面层以外又一个公共活动平台。

绿化的概念也被引入了每户单元内,设计让居民可以在自家的阳台上轻易的接触到建筑立面上的花池。主户被鼓励在这些花池里面栽种自己想要的花草,这样的策略让每家每户都能自己拥有独特外观的同时也加强了住户对居民楼共同责任感和归属感。立面上网格状的金属结构将凸窗和阳台整合成了一种和谐的建筑语言,它们也为垂直绿化提供了附着攀爬的骨架,使植物能够逐渐蔓延开来以至最后为建筑完全批上一层绿衣。

空中花园,垂直绿墙,屋顶花园和地面景观一起构成了一座”立体森林”, 将社区变成了一个能够24小时产生新鲜空气的”绿肺”。所有的绿化也能其到良好的隔音效果,让居民免受来自于周边城市环境里的噪音打扰。

小区的布局也考虑到了广州地区每年的季风风向变化,通过居民楼上的不同间隙和开口以及高层楼房和地层楼房叠搭后在底部形成的两个大开口使每家每户以及整个社区在不同的季节都能拥有良好的自然通风。

小区地面层的公共空间和私密空间被景观清楚的划分开来。一个全标准长度游泳池从小区大堂延伸出去并穿过低层居民楼的下方,形成了整个小区的视觉主轴之一。泳池旁的景观水体会根据季节而变化,在炎热的夏天被注满而在凉爽的秋冬季节被放干成为活动平台。在小区内的下沉式商业广场的四周,一圈竹林将附近道路上的汽车噪音隔绝开来。巨型”盆景”则成为了供公众休憩的凉亭。

项目的商业部分被安排在了地面层上朝向主路的位置。商业功能的体量被细化成在广州地区常见的小尺度模式。此处也包括了一个下沉是广场,在满足商业面积需求的同时也提供了一个不受外部行车噪音打扰的公共空间。

当人们驾车行驶过白云高速路时,峯境面向道路的两块50米通高绿墙会显得格外引人注目。小区内层次丰富的绿化和另一侧的白云山遥相呼应,赏心悦目。项目大胆的景观手法和科学的规划布局是对传统商品房如出一辙的开发模式的一次挑战,设计也希望通过这样一个项目能在当地和更广泛的中国区域内带动起生态环保建筑的新潮。

海军部村庄养老综合体

Kampung Admiralty is Singapore’s first building to bring together a mix of public facilities and services under one roof. The traditional approach is for each government agency to have their own plot of land, resulting in standalone buildings. This one-stop integrated complex maximises land use and the benefits of co-location, and is a prototype for meeting the needs of Singapore’s ageing population.

The compact site, adjacent to a train station in medium-rise public housing area, prompted a layered ‘club sandwich’ approach. The result is a “Vertical Kampung (village)”, with a Community Plaza sheltered by a Medical Centre supporting a rooftop Community Park overlooked by apartments for seniors. These three distinct layers juxtapose the various building uses to foster diversity of cross-programming and frees up the ground level for activity generators. The proximity to healthcare, social, commercial and other amenities support inter-generational bonding and promote active ageing in place. The development has proven extremely popular, and was used as the backdrop for the Prime Minister’s 2018 National Day address, as a visual embodiment of Singapore’s aspirations for a more caring community environment.

Alila Villas Uluwatu

The multi-award-winning Alila Villas Uluwatu resort is located in the Bukit Peninsula of Bali, a wild landscape of cliffs and rugged savannah landscapes, totally unlike the rest of the island. The resort redefines luxury as delight and enjoyment of the natural beauty and sense of place, rather than excessive consumption – making it one of the first ecologically sustainable luxury resorts of the region.

Working on all scales, WOHA developed the masterplan of the entire property, which includes Alila Villas Uluwatu and the OMNIA Dayclub, the architecture for the resort, the interiors as well as a suite of furniture.

The 50-suite hotel and 34 residential villas were built from mainly locally sourced materials, such as limestone from the site and recycled railways sleepers. It was inspired by the pale limestone cliffs and the deep blue of the sea and references Bali’s rich culture with its centuries of influences, from the Bronze Age animism, to the Hindu Majapahit Empire as well as Dutch Art Deco and contemporary modern design.

磐鈺雲華

Sky Green a mixed-use development located at the heart of Taichung in a densely developed and vibrant neighborhood. The site is made up of two rectangular plots, one facing the main city thoroughfare, Gongyi Road, and the other facing Daying Street, a quieter secondary street. The development consists of two 26-storey residential towers with apartment units from level 4 onwards, as well as retail spaces. To connect to its setting, and the hustle and bustle of the streets, the building’s retail spaces are located from ground level to level 3. The shops have staggered patterned glass cladding to give an urban backdrop to the tree-lined pedestrian walkways and modern outdoor street furniture.

Away from the busy street life an intimate, serene landscaped courtyard greets the residents as they return to their homes. Above the retail shops rise the two residential towers as well as generous recreation facilities for indoor and outdoor activities. Both towers have deeply recessed windows and the façades are enveloped with protruding balconies with trees, sky gardens and mesh screens that serve as a trellis for green creeper plants. Landscaping is treated as a key material in creating the building envelope for the residential towers. The façade elements create deep sun-shading and the greenery acts as an active and living interface between the interior and exterior environment.

Large sky terraces at every five floors within the block extend the living space of residents from indoors to outdoors, creating a biophilic environment within a high-rise development. Every unit is visually connected to greenery outside their apartment windows. A series of open, yet sheltered sky gardens, terraces, balconies and planters create a breathable façade and visual interest, enhancing the real estate value of these apartments in a densely built up area while providing spatial relief to apartment owners.

新加坡市中豪亚酒店

Oasia Hotel Downtown sets out to create an alternative imagery for commercial high-rise developments. It combines innovative ways to intensify land use with a tropical approach that showcases a perforated, permeable, furry, verdant tower of green in the heart of Singapore’s Central Business District (CBD).

In programmatic response to the client’s brief of having distinct Soho, Hotel & Club rooms, WOHA adopted a club sandwich approach by creating a series of different strata, each with its own sky garden. Introducing layers of elevated ground levels allow the precious but limited ground floor space to be multiplied, creating generous public areas for recreation and social interaction throughout the high-rise.

443 Queen Street

The design of 443 Queen Street tower explores the potential of passive, low-technology, high-ambiance design for the sub-tropical climate.

Urbanistically, the development opens itself up to the city. At the river level, the pedestrian realm flows under the giant umbrella of the hanging gardens, to the cafe and restaurant which inhabit the base of the building.

The cluster form of the tower allows further views through the site and allows spatial relationships with the diverse surrounding fabric to be developed. The units fully exploit their access to views, light and air.

皮克林宾乐雅酒店

At home in central Singapore, between the central business district and Chinatown, the Parkroyal Collection Pickering captures passersbys’ attention with its striking lush, green terraces. The project is a study of how we can not only conserve our greenery in a built-up high-rise city centre but multiply it in a manner that is architecturally striking, integrated and sustainable.

Inspired by Hong Lim Park, which is located next to the site, rice terraces and the topography of natural landscapes, the building brings 15,000 square metres of greenery – around double the area of the site – back into the city. Every one of the 367 guest rooms offers a tropical garden view from its windows.

The passive strategies such as naturally ventilated corridors, solar-powered irrigation, rain water retention and sun shading have helped this project to achieve Singapore’s Green Mark Platinum rating, the nation’s highest environmental certification.
