Embodied carbon
-
Optimized steel structure: Structural steel profiles and an innovative floating buttress design significantly reduced material use while preserving aesthetic and functional integrity.
-
Modest material palette: The use of white glazed brick—a locally contextual, durable, and long-life finish—helps offset higher-impact materials by reducing maintenance and replacement cycles.
Operational Emissions / Energy
-
Advanced mechanical systems: The building employs water-cooled Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems, Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS), LED lighting, occupancy and daylight sensors, and high-performance glazing.
-
Green roof irrigation: The rooftop terraces are irrigated with rainwater recycling systems, offering stormwater management and passive cooling benefits
Service and maintenance emissions
-
Durable finishes: Brick facade and VRF mechanical systems are chosen for longevity and low maintenance.
-
Smart controls: Integrated building automation (lighting and ventilation controls) supports reduced maintenance cycles and energy use.
Afterlife
-
Stacked bar layout: The modular floorplates around a central pivot can potentially accommodate future programmatic shifts.
-
Flexible interior design: Areas like the auditorium, green terraces, and central lobby provide versatile space for various uses.
-
Standard material assemblies: Steel, brick, and mechanical panels are conventional and recyclable.
-
Green terraces: Designed with typical soil and planting systems, not explicitly modular for disassembly.
