Our primary challenge was to devise a proposal that would not only enhance the quality of life for the neighbourhood's residents but also cater to the needs of property developers.

The proposal centred around three buildings and an intervening vacant site. This envisioned complex integrated a school, office spaces, apartments, and retail establishments, all situated above a spacious public plaza. The tiered design of the project introduced much-needed green outdoor areas amidst the urban landscape. At its core, the building featured an art school with exhibition spaces seamlessly integrated into the facade design. On the ground level, mixed retail spaces activated the street edges, while the plaza promoted pedestrian flow and served as an inviting informal community gathering spot, particularly during lunch hours.
