A 5-Storey Residential Landmark

Summary

Proposed 5-Storey Residential Development
 
Site Location:
The project is situated on a strategic urban infill site within a high-demand residential corridor, supporting intensification and efficient land use.
 
Proposed Development:

This proposed development features a 5-storey residential building with one level of underground parking (P1), designed to maximize density while maintaining a high standard of living quality.

The building includes a total gross construction area of approximately 3,763.80 m² and a gross floor area of 2,183.12 m². The development accommodates 32 residential units, including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, carefully optimized to meet market demand.

A total of 34 parking spaces are integrated within the underground and ground levels, including visitor and accessible parking. The project achieves a Floor Space Index (FSI) of 2.40, demonstrating efficient use of the site within zoning constraints.


Services Provided by N & N Engineers LTD:
N & N Engineers LTD delivered comprehensive architectural services, focusing on spatial efficiency, design quality, and regulatory compliance.
 
Architectural Design:
Full architectural design from conceptual massing to detailed Site Plan Application (SPA) documentation. The building form integrates modern geometry with a balanced streetscape presence.
