UMBRELLA CANOPOY PUTERI HABOUR

Puteri Harbour, the pearl of Johor, is a prestigious waterfront development located along the southern coast of Johor, wanted to erect a suitable outdoor shelter in the interior courtyard.

Opened in 2009, we were keen to retain the me-diating function of the courtyard between the main building and the annexe, and thereby keep the clarity of the urban design concept behind this development. The resulting proposal, which was accepted and implemented, was for a steel roof with an organic shape resembling an umbrella and contrasting with the rigour of the geometry and materials of the courtyard.
