BUILDING CRITIQUE ACTIVITY

1. Building Design
The only thing that I noticed about the building design is the way the vertical masses are located. The roof deck is
surrounded by the tall mass of the residential towers, preventing it from fully catching the outdoor light or view.
However, it is good for privacy in such a way that it prevents other buildings from taking a peek on what is
happening on the roof deck. But in my opinion, privacy can be easily solved without stopping the outdoor
elements to come through the roof deck.
2. Amenities Design
Some amenities can be hard to find, it felt like a maze since the amenities are scattered around the central park. I
personally think that it can be oriented in a more organized way. The al fresco is too restricted inside, it does not
feel like an al fresco. The play room is too small, especially with the billiard pool, there is no proper clearance to
move around or do the desired activities inside.
3. Units Design
Studio type is too small to even have a bed space in it. The only unit with a reasonable size is the 2 bedrooms with
balcony.
4. Over-All Development
Overall, the park is somewhat restrictive to some outdoor elements. Some amenities lose their purpose due to
location and inadequate sizes. Most residential units are too small to move around, it made me question about its
habitability. It felt like the units are purposely designed to be small in order to increase the number of rentable
units, but I personally think that the well-being and comfort of the tenants should come first before the interest of
the company.
