The key of the overall planning for the waterfront is the relationship
to the waterfront or lakefront. Whilst the buildings on the boulevard
predominantly reinforce the alignment of the boulevard, the waterfront
planning should tie the boulevard back to the waterfront. The current
masterplan creates large building block footprints that remain heavy
a reminiscent of old American models.
Our conceptual approach is relative to context and tropical climate.
Three factors influence our sketch planning approach: allow permeable
building blocks, smaller block sizes and radiate the buildings to
enhance the visual corridors and links between the boulevard and the
lakefront; varying the building height of ten storey restrictions
heightening at nodal points for massing hierarchy; unify the buildings
by introducing a canopy roof uniquely tropical.
The new urban plan places integration with landscaping and view as
priorities. It encourages creating "fingers" of developments towards
the water body and infused with park, creating a series of green forecourts.
The urban plan suggests the building orientation and massing provide
maximum view toward the water and development across the lake. The
massing is broken into smaller components with different heights.
This approach will ensure the integration of landscape and building
massing. The landscape and public areas will be larger and located
in between the building fingers, which will create an interesting
"journey" towards the waterfront.
