DESIGN NAME: Pulsa
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential
INSPIRATION: The design takes inspiration from Repulse Bay, clear azure blue waves gently lapping the shore, the building’s form is based on a ribbon – analogous to the movement of waves. The ribbon curves and moves responsively to the varying functions and spatial requirements of interior spaces. By the diffraction and reflection brought about by the sculptural building profile, a vivid and impressive experimental sequence comes alive.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The ribbon language response to the varying functions and spatial requirements to create a fluid form with changing profiles. The houses area arranged in two rows to minimize disturbance to the natural slope on site and cater for optimized sea view towards Repulse Bay for all houses. In addition, through the diffraction and reflection brought about by the curves, residents are always surrounded by the adjoining natural beauty. The curves also functionally improve the quality of interior space.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: -
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Finished in end of 2018. Located in Repulse Bay, Hong Kong. 108 Repulse Bay Road
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design
|
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The development achieved BEAMplus GOLD assessment. The insulated glass panels with Low-E coating help reduce heat transfer across the building envelope through Insulation gap units. Other components of environmentally friendly design include a robust solar thermal system to generate “free” hot water, cross-ventilation to enhance thermal comfort, and rainwater harvesting to collect and treat rainwater for cleaning and car washing.
