Design Challenges and Solutions

​

1. Modern Office Design: The three-storey offices are designed in the modern style, incorporating the typical shopfront bay of columns and windows. A horizontal frame at the roof parapet level ties the bays together, with a sloping pitched roof behind.

2. Heritage-Inspired Entrance: The fronting fence wall is divided into three bays, with vehicle access in the central bay. This design uses the traditional sliding and folding grill commonly seen in the heritage zone, blending modern office design with traditional architectural elements.
