Every bit of Jalan Besar

Location: Beatty Road Off Street Car Park, Singapore

Year of Study: Year 3 Semester 1

Category: Cultural

For the first stage of my Final Year Project (FYP), I was tasked to repurpose the existing surface of the carpark that would create design typologies which offers innovative, socially conscious, sustainable and spatial design solutions. Every bit of Jalan Besar encompasses all there is to Jalan Besar, making it a one stop place for anything jalan besar. It celebrates the culture and history of the site through the main program; the exhibition and gallery halls. Every bit of Jalan besar has many supporting programs, ranging from a atrium, cafe & retail spaces, co-working spaces, lounge spaces, workshops & studio spaces and spaces for cultural events. The simple form of the design is done so as to give visitors the experience of going in & out of the buildings; having that dark and light effect. There are also many open green roofs to break up the densely built up area of the surrounding site.

For this project, I was tasked to come up with a concept for a vertical building in the sky. This projects aims to enrich lives in the community through encouraging social as well as individual engaging discoveries. bar-ble is a place where day meets night! It serves as a cafe during the day and the interior can be converted to a bar by nightfall. The concept behind bar-ble was to provide the public a space to do their work during the day and a space for those above 18 to look forward to by the end of the week. bar-ble provides indivdual pods for doing work or to hang out with friends, making it more exclusive to the users. To tie in the greenery and minimal look of bar-ble, you will be greeted by a lush display of fauna at the lift lobby, including a infographic urban farming green wall which raises awareness on the government’s 30 by 30 goal of growing 30% of our vegetables domestically by 2030.
