AND CALMNESS
THE BUILDING HAS TWO SECTIONS
• OPAQUE SECTION
• TRANSPERANT SECTION

OPAQUE SECTION
• THE EASTERN PART OF THE BUILDING IS OPAQUE TO REDUCE THE
AMOUNT OF GLARING SUNLIGHT IT ALSO REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF
LIGHT AND HEAT PENETRATION FROM THAT DIRECTION

• THEY HAVE BUILT SOLAR PANELS AT THE SKY PARK TO ABSORB LIGHT AT
THE OPTIMUM AREA AND USING THE POWER DURING THE NIGHT

• ROOF GARDEN IS PROVIDED TO REDUCE HEAT AND IT’S THE RIGHT PLACE
WHERE WE GET MAXIMUM SUNLIGHT
GREEN ROOF
WIND ACCESSIBILITY
• THE GREEN ROOF HELPS TO CAPTURE THE NORTH EAST AND SOUTH
WEST PREVAILING WINDS THAT IS FOUND IN SINGAPORE

• IT MAXIMISES THE USAGE OF NATURAL RESOURCES TO COOL DOWN

THE AREA

• PROMOTES CROSS VENTILATION OF WIND AND MORE COMFORTABLE

TEMPERATURE

TREES AS SOUND BARRIER

• NOISE CAN BE REDUCED BY 6 DECIBELS OVER A DISTANCE OF

30MTS WHERE PLANTING IS PARTICULARLY DENSE

• A BELT OF TREES AND SHRUBS BETWEEN 15 AND 30 METERS

WIDE CAN REDUCE THE SOUND LEVEL BY AS MUCH AS 10 DB

TINTED GLASS
GREEN ROOF IT IS USED AS A
CANOPY OF A
GREEN ROOF AND
SHIELD THE
FOUNTAIN SQUARE
FROM EXCESSIVE
HEAT RADIATION
FROM THE SUN

SOLAR PANELS
USED IN THE TOP OF
THE GREEN ROOF TO
ABSORB SOLAR
ENERGY IN THE DAY
TIME WHICH IS USED
TO POWER UP THE
FRESH AIR BELOW
THE FOUNTAIN
SQUARE
GROUND COVER PLANTS
THEY ARE PLANTED ON THE ROOF TO HELP
MODERATE THE TEMPERATURE AND COOL DOWN
,IT PROMOTES CLEANER AND FRESHER AIR
CIRCULATION AROUND THE SURROUNDINGS

OF A LEAF WITH
ENVIRONMENAL FRIENDLY
FEATURES

ALUMINIUM
GLASS FACADE SOLAR PANELS
• GLASS IS DOUBLE GLAZED
• ALUMINIUM ARE GOOD
ALLOWING DAYLIGHT TO ENTER
CONDUCTORS OF HEAT
INSIDE.
AND ATTRACTS HEAT
FROM SUNLIGHT
• THE GLASS IS THICK AND
ABSORBS HEAT

METALS CERAMIC
BEST MATERIAL TO WITHSTAND CERAMIC FUSED WITH GLASS
DIRECT SUNSHINE , WATER AND USED AS SKYLIGHTS FOR THE
NOISE ROOF
TRANSPERANCY SECTION
• THE TRANSPERANT AREAS ARE LOCATED AT THE WESTERN
PART OF THE BUILDING

• A SINGLE ROW OF GLASS PANES TO ALLOW ENOUGH

LIGHT TO ENTER

NATURALLY LIT AREA

• NATURALLY LIT AREAS CAN
CREATE DIFFERENT
