Cho House is an elegant and sculptural family haven located on recent highly sought after city, Bukit Jalil. Embracing the site context setting while retaining privacy was a primary concern of the client and project brief...Our response was to design a simple, uncluttered composition of stacked block forms interlinked and cut open to exposed the interior spaces internally. The composition of the building consists of two white, elongated boxes shifted against each other. They include not only rooms but also open voids. The warm colour of the wood emphasizes the niches and contracts with the ascetic white of the building.
Large sliding glass doors open fully to dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior spaces. Terraces flow off the main living areas and lead to a private garden containing a swimming pool and water feature.
The living areas within the house are restrained and minimal. The entire ground floor is open and inter-connected yet does not feel stark or sterile. The kitchen is carefully detailed with a functional cooking area concealed in a separate annex, allowing the occupants to enjoy the primary space without clutter.
This is a building that celebrates its location and compliments the site context and surrounding landscape, yet still provides a comfortable retreat away from a very busy urban environment. The use of simple line and geometry form is distinctive of our studio and find its best expression in Cho House.
The brief asked for a hospital that does not look like a typical hospital. It should exude confidence in users as a place of science and precision in healthcare facilities...Unlike most of the conventional local hospitals that try to create vernacular or tropical architectural language, this hospital makes no attempt to follow the old paradigm hospital design in the region. It uses curtain wall to maximize natural daylight. Visually pleasing in proportion, the cladding uses was a bright silver composite aluminum panels and blue tinted glass to give a modern look with a clean sleek image. This functional high-tech appearance aims to impart a sense of confidence in the healing technology.
The interior design of the hospital, on the other hand, takes on a softer approach whilst maintaining a homely feel. Again, the aesthetics are achieved by the appropriate use of intricate detailing in the joinery works. Natural lighting is therapeutic and here it is abundant in the wards as well as the common areas in the building.
The design took the shape of an efficient rectangular shape, where generally the first floor is for the patient care. All the patient rooms are placed here along the perimeter with external windows for filtered daylight, and possible natural ventilation in case of power failure. Ground floor is dedicated to diagnostic, treatment and administrative functions. All supporting services and back of house functions occupy the only basement level. All the mechanical plants and water tanks are planned to centralize entirely on the covered roof level, which forms the mass necessarily for the required façade proportion consideration. This enclosed roof level becomes an interstitial space insulating the habitable floor below, as such reducing vertical heat load, which is predominant in tropical climate. By so doing, all habitable floors are also free of mechanical rooms, therefore reducing heat, noise and contamination risk.
A health facility with 82 beds, a full range of primary and secondary services, including inpatient and outpatient care, a 24-hour emergency room, day surgery and physiotherapy, three modern operating theatres, medical laboratory, an endoscopic unit with the support of ambulatory services and computerised operating systems.
