Whimsical and joyful use of spatial harmony captivates visitor attention immediately. The industrial materiality and colourful spatial harmony establish an ambience of cosiness and quaint urban charm.
The Selindung Daun Sales Gallery along Jalan Hulu Yam Baru was designed as a simple rectilinear box with slim steel structures framing the gallery.Glass panels wrap around the entire mass of the sales gallery, bringing natural daylight into the main gallery.Recycled shipping containers supported high above the ground on the first floor are coloured in bright colours not only to reflect the sun’s heat but also to capture the attention of passers-by.Three bright yellow beacons located around the sales gallery not only serve as landmarks but also provide extra storage for water tanks, services and refuse compartments.The surrounding of the building is properly landscaped with shrubs, trees and water features to mitigate solar gain and HVAC strain.At dusk, the box shines from within. Warm lights reveal the rich texture of the timber strips on raw clay brick walls, creating a striking cosy contrast to the external structural framing.Inside the main gallery, scale models of the development stand between the reception counter and the cafe.A green haven of landscape with trees around the sales gallery emphasises how the development intertwines with nature and ecology.
