The Inspiration of Antenna – By philosophy of real antenna is connected to the first one or two segments of the arthropod head. They vary widely in form and typically sensory organs, the exact nature of what they sense including touching, air motion, heat, vibration (sound), smell and taste.
We explore what we learn from animal and the natural world, and how these experiences change us – at levels which ‘culturally we don’t even have the means to express’ as ‘an unarticulated but powerful undercurrent’ in a ‘deep and profound step into’. Designated with nature inspirations, the animal antenna such as the lighting structure is uniquely designed on creating a ‘wow’ factor through the massive structure display all over the space.
Nestled atop a cascading hillside, the landscape architect saw this as an opportunity to link the residences with the existing terrain. With thoughtful planning, the idea of a clubhouse at an elevated vantage point is developing to allow the residents to have a breathtaking view of the “Pearl of Orient“, accompanied by a dramatic and inviting walk along the existing natural slope. Native plants were arranged strategically to soften the existing granite terrain as well as to elevate the architectural characters of Legenda@Southbay.
Lost in Nature – No matter how caught up we get in our stressful day-to-day lives, nature always gives us the perfect place to escape to. Great outdoors has a way of making you seem small and significant, putting all of your problems into perspective.
The elevated boardwalk and the surrounding natural environment blended harmoniously together.
Night walks on the mesmerising elevated boardwalk are a great way to relax.
Nature Call – Luminous antenna calls back to his original place, dimmed and mysterious.
