One Pacific Serviced Apartment: Quality Accommodation in Macalister Road, Penang

​

One Pacific Serviced Apartment, a 9-storey development on Macalister Road, Penang, offers quality accommodation for various needs, including medical tourism, given its strategic location opposite the Loh Guan Lye Hospital.

Design Challenges and Solutions

​

  1. Light and View: The front façade features larger square windows for increased natural light and views, flanked on both sides by smaller windows.

  2. Heat Reduction: The front façade is constructed with a double skin of brick wall with a 50mm cavity, reducing heat gain in the rooms behind.

3. Aesthetic Design:

At the service floor, the walls are recessed to express the horizontal roofline. The larger windows at the corner are staggered in a curved outline and shaded with brown aluminium fins bent to curve, adding a unique aesthetic touch.

The Result

​

The One Pacific Serviced Apartment project provides quality accommodation with a unique design that maximizes natural light and views while minimizing heat gain. Its strategic location also supports the growing medical tourism industry in the area.
