Multiple Residential High Rise​​

Skyawani 3

Setapak, Malaysia

Project Summary

A residential development located in Setapak heartland with comprehensive views of the KL CBD cityscape and its urban neighborhood. SkyAwani 3 is a RUMAWIP project taking affordable housing principles and extending it beyond the public’s expectations. It is aspires to be the best of its kind within the RUMAWIP typology. Consisting of 3, 52 storeys towers, there are 1,905 units of identical layouts, each with 800 sq.ft  of built-up area. The building attempts to democratize views-for-all were also made with the extensive roof deck emphases on common and public areas were very much prioritised to balance the high-density living ‘pods’.

Design Statement

WOVEN PODS. Weaving has generally been used in the production of fabric with the end purpose of draping and covering human forms. Weaving in the context of architecture and our design narrative was less the aspiration to cover or drape the building but more on the narrative of the process. With identical units, called ‘pods’, the design focus was less on changing layouts but more on the modulation and organization of the units by creating an amalgamation of form through the weaving of a tapestry of ‘pods’ onto the façade of the building. Ultimately we wanted to create a super-scaled form that does away with usual striation of floors but instead create a form that is much more iconographical and singular.
