PROGRESSION OF FACADE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

Thank you to the 615 Members who voted on the facade design options in September. Option 1 (shown right) was the winning design with 30.57% of the vote. This design was given back to the architects to develop further. MEMBER-SELECTED FACADE OPTION

This image shows the progression of design development for Option 1. Due to a double-height playspace that has been designed in the Youth area, which fronts Scotts Road, it was decided to create a full glass window on the left to allow natural light into the space and give children a view of the outdoors. AT VOID INCREASED GLASS

AND INTERMEDIATE PANELS REDUCTION OF GLASS

Based on feedback regarding air-conditioning concerns and cleaning of the windows, the design was further developed as shown to the right. This still allows for the full windows in the double-height Youth space, but minimizes the amount of windows in the tower on the left and in the intermediate panels.

The design of the facade continues to be developed with the architects. Members will be kept informed as the design develops and a final design is reached.
