TCC Super Tower Indonesia
The later of two towers planned for The City Centre development project in Jakarta, the 54-storey tower, which comprises an office tower above a retail podium, is poised to become a distinguished landmark in the city. The design veers away from the typical podium and tower arrangement to better integrate facilities within the building. Enclosed by layers of vertical fins, the building takes its form from the Chinese character 川 (chuan), meaning river. The tower slopes upwards in a gradual curve from the ground to the peak. Apart from form making, the sloping design allows the office tower to merge seamlessly with the retail podium, while offering larger than usual floor plates for office tenants. A sky restaurant and two levels of dining options facing large garden spaces add to the vibrancy of the development, and provide a welcome respite for visitors.

Crystal Tower and Residences @ Junction Square Myanmar
The proposed extension to the Junction Square shopping mall, located in the central city area of Yangon, comprises an elegant 17-storey office tower named Crystal Tower, a 15-storey high-end serviced apartment tower named Crystal Residences, and an annex mall. Anchoring the northern end of the site, Crystal Tower features a stark rectangular form, wrapped in a combination of flat and indented full-height glass as well as solid panels. When viewed from different angles, the random yet modulated arrangement creates unique patterns on the façade. Crystal Residences is oriented to face one of Myanmar’s most iconic historical sites – Shwedagon Pagoda. The apartments are designed to adapt to the local context and lifestyle, including a spacious wet kitchen in every unit to cater to the locals’ affection for heavy cooking. In addition, crossventilation and natural lighting throughout the residences is provided through a large central atrium, cut-outs on the building massing, and the careful orientation of the units. An environmental deck on the sixth floor features a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, gym, barbeque area and children’s playground.

Yahya Awal Master Plan Malaysia
The Yahya Awal master plan is a dynamic hub which offers an integrated and sustainable environment. The site is divided into five phases, namely residential, gateway, hospitality, iconic office and connectivity, with each having its own distinct character. A large sky garden acts as a seamless connector throughout the phases and enhances connectivity. This 1km-long green corridor provides a platform for public activities that relate to the characteristics of each phase. The connectivity creates a cohesive and immersive experience where one can live, work and play. Softscaping on the podium level provides an opportunity to give back to nature with a series of ecologically sustainable interventions. These could include features like a ‘learning garden’ filled with native plants for children to explore or a rainwater harvesting system that makes use of green-roof filtration and bioswale technology.
