TikTok has introduced a group chat feature, allowing you to share videos with up to 31 people – so long as everyone is older than 16.
The vent blocks are meticulously arranged as a privacy screen that covers nearly all round of the first-floor exterior, strategically to shade the upper dwelling from both the eastern and western sun. Photos: MNSC Architects
“The screen on facade, or double-skin facade design, is made out of a green wall, pivot timber screens and concrete ventilation blocks to create a buffer-zone effect to prevent heat from directly penetrating the internal living area,” explained lead architect Lau Ming Ngi, adding that the green wall consists of climbing plants that hang on vertical wires.
Forming a contrast with the openness of the ground floor, first-floor spaces are designed with privacy using external screens, without compromising on their visual connections to the exterior. To ensure comfort in our tropical climate, the eastern and western sides of the house are shielded from the harsh sun by extended eaves and cleverly designed overhangs.
“This heat absorption lowers the air temperature, giving a cooling effect and reducing body temperatures. The water feature also reduces heat gain from the glass window, which is east-facing,” said Lau.Urat Mata also incorporates other sustainable elements like roof overhangs, sunshading screens and landscaping. These help to intercept and manage thermal heat gain by minimising heat transfer and reducing energy consumption.
