Social And Community Spaces in The Sky

By Alarkhas Post a Comment

SkyVille Dawson is a public housing project commissioned by the Housing & Development Board of Singapore to explore the future of public housing. Three main themes-community, variety and sustainability – form the basis of its design. The central innovation is the public, external, shared spaces that are inter- woven through the cluster of towers from the ground to the roof.

Each home is designed to be part of a ‘Sky Village’ comprising 80 homes that share a naturally ventilated community terrace and garden. These social and community spaces in the sky are a way to ensure that high-rise, high-density projects do not cause alienation, but instead can be vibrant, living, low-energy communities. Every tower is composed of 4 vertically stacked Sky Villages across 3 interconnected blocks. The apartments are designed as column-free, bean-free layouts, to allow diverse family sizes, lifestyles, and future flexibility.
