Project 3

For the final task, students are required to design an atelier at Wawasan Recreational Park, Puchong. An 
atelier in the tropic denotes ‘a structure that is designed for a pleasant living and working environment with 
access to nature to boost the immune system and improve psychological wellbeing. The structure should be 
within the built-up space of maximum 100sqm and be able to accommodate 2 people, including yourself 
and a family member comfortably in a short spend of time (2-3 days).
The atelier must correspond to the immediate tropical site context. The relationship between your design 
and the context is important in making your architecture unique to its landscape and activity. The design 
of the structure must demonstrate your design intentions through the application of architectural principles, 
materiality and constructability in creating a memorable spatial experience for the user(s).
Space requirements are as follows:
1. An activity space where you are able to occupy your time during the short time spend (i.e. Work or 
hobby)
2. An activity space where your close family member (i.e. mother, father, brother, sister) able to occupy 
their time during short time spend (i.e. Work or hobby)
3. A space where the occupant(s) can carry on a discussion
4. A resting space to think, reflect, meditate and unwind
5. A washroom
