Synopsis
Apartment buildings with “skyrise greenery” on their upper levels have been getting much attention with the recent completions of work such as The Interlace, Sky Habitat, SkyVille@Dawson, SkyTerrace@Dawson in Singapore as well as well as Bosco Verticale in Milan. These buildings all followed on the seminal Pinnacle@Duxton about ten years ago.
Whilst providing such green, social spaces in tall buildings is good, it has also been expensive because the sky-terraces or sky-courts are extras that have to be paid for. Moreover, these sky-terraces or sky-courts also take up space that could be used to fit in more apartments, and so represent an opportunity cost.
This talk proposes a high-rise design solution that can provide a private and a shared garden for each high-rise home. With this “sky neighbourhood” concept, additional areas for the gardens in the sky courts is balanced by substantially reducing circulation space which is achieved by eliminating the need for corridors.
Speaker's Biography
Mazlin Ghazali graduated from Welsh School of Architecture in 1984. Upon his return to Malaysia, he spent nine years with Arkitek Akiprima working mainly on housing, including several projects that employed system formwork, lightweight concrete or precast panels. In 1993 he set up Arkitek M. Ghazali and the firm has thrived by building upon his earlier experience and focusing on affordable housing, completing 12000 units of them.
Mazlin’s interest is in developing cost-efficient forms of housing and his R&D work to find a better yet cost-saving alternative to terrace houses has resulted in his Honeycomb Housing concept. That work has been successfully commercialized with pioneer projects in Johor Bahru and Bernam Jaya in Selangor already completed, with several others in the pipeline.
His continuing typological research has now resulted in the “sky-neighbourhood” concept where every high-rise home can be provided with a private and a shared garden in a way that is cost-efficient.
