Concept
Appointed by a Catholic organization in Macau, the building is positioned to be a pioneer smart elderly complex. It will welcome top tier international convention on elderly trade. The elderly residence and hospice facility inside the complex will serve as an industrial model. We used to concept of a “flying angel” where He brings the good news of joy and peace to the building occupants.
The building is a literal translation of an angel form. It takes a symmetrical form that improves structural efficiency and flexibility of planning. Vertical green walls and outdoor plantings are designed to reduce heat island effect. In order to improve energy efficiency, solar panels and mini wind turbines are designed on roof top.
The initial application received wide acclamation from the Macau Government.
