The Selindung Daun Sales Gallery along Jalan Hulu Yam Baru was designed as a simple rectilinear box with slim steel structures framing the gallery. Glass panels wrap around the entire mass of the sales gallery, bringing natural daylight into the main gallery. Recycled shipping containers supported high above the ground on the first floor are coloured in bright colours to not only reflect the sun’s heat, but also to capture the attention of passer-bys. Three bright yellow beacons located around the sales gallery not only serves as landmarks, they provide extra storage for water tanks, services and refuse compartment. The surrounding of the building is properly landscaped with shrubs, trees & water features to mitigate solar gain and HVAC strain. At dusk the box shines from within. Warm lights reveal the rich texture of the timber strips on raw clay brick walls, creating a striking cozy contrast to the external structural framing. Inside the main gallery, scale models of the development stand between the reception counter and the cafe. A green haven of landscape with trees around the sales gallery emphasizes how the development intertwines with nature and ecology
