Project: 1

54 TS - Private Residence, Singapore (2012)

Ongoing with AgFacadesign, Singapore

A 3 storey semi-detached with nearly 6,000 sq ft GFA, the house was designed to achieve a "green" low running costs building through passive sustainable design.

Every room is designed to be naturally cross-ventilated with slot openings, screens or "monsoon windows" with maximum daylight. Vertical "chimney or stack" effect ventilation is provided at 4 different locations to "release" rising hot and "draw" in air to stimulate cross ventilation around the house.

Project: 2

158 Cecil Street, Singapore (2011)

A “just completed” 14 storey office A&A building in the CBD. Objective was “to replace the unsightly perforated mesh* façade with something modern and nice” and “make the (banal) Atrium space more attractive”, were basically “The Brief” to AgFd.

The need for a “naturally ventilated” façade led to the concept of a “hanging garden” with a “Layered-glass façade” specially designed to integrate the plants to provide an “indoor-outdoor” (and vice versa) environment. Physical and visual connectivity of the 7 storey atrium and pavement/road levels are also seamlessly aesthically integrated with plants “well being” achieved via auto irrigation, lighting systems and maintenance access to all plants (and façade) seamlessly integrated into the design.

*Mesh were recycled as “ledge” to accentuate the “hanging garden” effect.

22 Island Gardens Walk - Private Residence, Singapore (2011-09)

A 3 storey corner terrace with 4,000 sq ft GFA, the house was designed to achieve a “green” low running costs building through passive sustainable design. Arguably the first of its kind in Singapore, every floor was designed to be naturally cross-ventilated from front right through the back of the house (12m on Plan) via slot openings. In addition, vertical “chimney or stack” effect ventilation is provided at 4 different locations scattered around the house to “release” rising hot and “draw” in air to stimulate cross ventilation around the house.

18 Treasure Island

A luxurious house in Sentosa Island with a central glazed cone as the main feature of the design. The glazed cone houses the Living "Pod" and Dining offering magnificent views out into the waters and sky through out the day/night. The glazed cone however is unable to provide the comfort needed. AgFd proposed an external shading incorporating a mixture of vertical green and mesh screens to protect against direct solar heat while providing breeze and views through them.
