EVERY YEAR the Pertubuhan Akitek
Malaysia (PAM) or Malaysian Institute of
Architects, a national body which represents
architects in the country, would convene to
give out honours for the best architectural
works in terms of design quality and creative
built environment.
In order for the PAM Awards to become
more prestigious and highly coveted, the
organiser has raised the bar and set even
higher standards. Modelled after the Aga
Khan Award for Architecture, a five juror
system was implemented with members
sourced locally and abroad. The panel is
headed by the convenor while technical
reviewers will answer any questions raised
by the jurors.
Awards has been given out since the 1990s
and the new format was implemented since
2000. The higher criteria for winning the
Awards has translated into a greater variety

there have been many well-known firms like

Thailand’s tallest building a reality thanks
to Aurecon’s engineering expertise
The 314-metre, 77-storey MahaNakhon Tower is the tallest skyscraper in Thailand today,
thanks to the work of a dedicated team working on the project including Aurecon.
BY THE end of the year, Thailand’s capital
city, Bangkok, will have a new addition to its
already impressive skyline, the MahaNakhon
Tower. With a striking design resembling
computer pixels, the skyscraper is set to
become the country’s tallest building standing
at 314 metres tall and 77-storey high.
The developer, Pace Development
Corporation, enlisted the help of global
engineering firm, Aurecon, to undertake
peer review work on the building’s design
610Building

and construction. As a leading consultant
in skyscraper design, Aurecon helped Pace
to achieve a higher level of confidence in
meeting the required performance and
statutory requirements, including safety and
construction timeline. Given the building’s
unique pixel design, the building required
a tougher engineering review to ensure
optimum structural efficiency.
The work involved a comprehensive
review of MahaNakhon’s engineering details,
covering structural and mechanical, electrical
and plumbing (MEP) designs as well as the
construction method statement. The MEP
system has a long-term impact on operating
and maintenance costs and is critical to any
building’s tenants.
“Aurecon is a leading global expert in
tall buildings with a reputation that has been
bolstered in Asia through our involvement
in some of the region’s super-tall landmarks,
including the 632-metre Shanghai Tower in
China and the 462-metre Vincom Landmark
81 in Vietnam. Both are the tallest buildings in
their respective countries. We are honoured to
be involved in the MahaNakhon development
and to help bring this iconic development to
completion,” said Dr Assawin Wanitkorkul,
Technical Director – Buildings of Aurecon
in Thailand.
Supertall structures are complex so their
design will always require higher levels of
engineering consultation. With its experience
from working on other tall buildings,
Aurecon worked with the developer and
main contractor Bouygues-Thai to ensure
the structural integrity of the building under
Bangkok’s soft soil conditions, wind and
seismic factors, among others. n

Sunway Eastwood Park Villas to offer
contemporary green living
Architect CL&O’s linked villas located south of Kuala Lumpur are designed
to encourage a healthy lifestyle amid a natural environment.
SUNWAY EASTWOOD Park Villa is a
gated and guarded, low-density residential
development comprising of 66 units of
three-storey terrace homes in Taman Equine
(Puchong), located about 30 minutes south of
Kuala Lumpur. This is a stratified development
where the overall concept and building facade
of Sunway Eastwood is preserved and its
surroundings are maintained by the property
management or joint management body.
The development is accessible via several
major highways, namely the Lebuhraya
Damansara-Puchong (LDP), Putrajaya
Highway, South Klang Valley Expressway
(SKVE) and the Bukit Jalil Highway. In future,
Sunway Eastwood will only be a 20km drive
away from the city centre with the up and
coming MEX interchange.
The 66-unit development is the final phase
in the Sunway Eastwood master plan and is
conveniently perched atop the highest level
of the site giving it a vantage point over the
entire township.

The villas are designed to offer the best
in green living with eco-features installed in
every home. The development encourages
a healthy lifestyle with exercise stations,
meandering walkways that doubles as a
jogging path and other facilities located at
the club house.
The villas have a north-south orientation
to prevent direct impact of sunlight while
minimising heat gain from the harsh morning
and afternoon sun. The use of natural
lighting through large windows also plays
a part in defining the interior space and
adds as a distinctive feature of these homes.
The design style is contemporary and both
indoor and outdoor spaces are connected for
a comfortable living environment.
The villas come in three types: Type A is
two-and-a-half-storey with its lower ground
level overlooking the township; Type B is
three-storey with its living spaces oriented to
face the linear garden; and Type C is situated
nearest to the natural green belt and slope.

Status Quo & Stats
Here at home, the timber industry is a
significant contributor to the national
economy with revenue from exports
valued at RM 22.4 billion for the year
2015. The lion’s share of this revenue is
claimed by the timber furniture sector
with earnings of RM 7.29 billion, or 32.9%,
primarily for exports to Japan, the United
States and India (Source: Department of
Statistics Malaysia). To date, for the period
January to May 2016, the sector accounted
for exports valued at RM 3.03 billion,
against a grand total of RM 9.13 billion,
an encouraging performance, no doubt,
trending to growth and expansion.
Critical to the continued well-being
and long-term sustainability of this
sector is raw material supply, an issue, the

real time. First launched in May 2014, the award-winning app has
since been downloaded 10 million times and AkzoNobel aims to
roll out the new version in over 40 countries this year, including the
Netherlands, Turkey, France, India, Indonesia, Argentina and Russia.
Designed to give consumers the ‘freedom to experiment and make
bolder choices with their colour selections’, before walls or living
spaces are painted, the Dulux Visualizer 3.0 comes with new features,
i.e., augmented reality and enhanced video visualisation/capability,
that make decorating easier and more inspiring. With the ingenious
Colour Picker to mix, match and manage colours, said video(s) may
then be uploaded on social media and shared with family and friends,
if needs be, for second opinions.
As Mr Laban explained, now, more than ever before, the
“Visualizer is a tool that gives customers confidence to try new
colours quicker and see the potential end results of their purchases.”
It is a new digital dimension to selecting, experiencing and enjoying
the right colours or colour schemes. ■

MTC presents Malaysian Wood Awards

The Malaysian Wood Awards is a first-of-its-kind competition in the country to
encourage and inspire use of Malaysian timber.
TIMBER HAS BEEN changing the design landscapes of the world
for eons. Despite losing its prominence over a period of time, timber
never fell off the radar of builders, architects, engineers or developers.
Malaysia’s rich rainforest has been a source of high quality timber
for centuries. Our sustainable forest management practices have
further boosted our timbers in the eyes of major wood users all over
the world.
In a bid to highlight the versatility and beauty of Malaysian
timbers, the Malaysian Timber Council (MTC) is organising the
Malaysian Wood Awards, a first-of-its-kind competition for the wood
industry in the country.
The Malaysian Wood Awards 2016 was launched by YBhg Datuk

IGEM: Developing ASEAN’s Green
building sector to new heights
Organised by KeTTHA and co-organised by GreenTech Malaysia, IGEM is the gateway to
ASEAN’s burgeoning green market.
BUILDINGS ARE a key contributor of climate change, accounting
for around 40% of global energy use and contributing about 30%
of city-wide emissions. To mitigate this, sustainability is now at the
core of city and town planning with green buildings playing a vital
role in effectively addressing global warming.
Globally, the number of green buildings continues to grow with
projections that 37% of companies will have the majority of their
real estate assets certified sustainable by 2018.
In the region, the ASEAN Joint Statement on Climate Change
to COP21 set guidelines for member countries to pursue green,
opening economic opportunities in establishing sustainable cities.
The Philippines is embarking on its first smart city, Clark Green
City, with projects worth USD 2.2 billion already being rolled out.
Thailand is developing three smart city provinces encompassing
Phuket, Pattaya and Chiang Mai.
As a country committed to green transformation, Malaysia too
is advancing as a smart-city hub, focusing on major cities, economic
development zones and new urban housing areas. Malaysia now has
close to 700 green building projects registered and over 164 million
sq ft of certified green building space. Additionally, local councils
are adopting the Low Carbon Cities Framework and Assessment
Systems (LCCF), a tool to assist in sustainable city planning.
These concerted efforts from across the region are poised
to drive the demand and growth of green products and services
within ASEAN’s building and construction sector to new heights.

SEW-Eurodrive expands operations with

new facility at Frontier Industrial Park
Ground-breaking ceremony of SEW-Eurodrive new and largest centre officiated
by Dato’ Azman Mahmud, CEO of MIDA.

Eurodrive Malaysia; Mr Andreas Appel, District Manager of South East &

of Malaysian Investment Development Authority; Tuan Haji Abdul Ghazali
Haji Karim, Deputy Secretary of Johor Bahru City Council; Mr Woon Yet
Leng, Managing Director of WB Land and Mr Wong Yen Yap, Director
of WB Land at the groundbreaking ceremony of SEW Eurodrive’s Drive
Technology Centre in Frontier 2.
A WORLD LEADER in drive technology and a pioneer in drive-based
automation, SEW-Eurodrive, headquartered in Bruchsal, Southern
Germany, has been a solutions provider to power transmission and
motion control challenges – with their unique modular system of
components in their gearmotors introduced back in 1931. In the
ensuing eight-and-a-half decades, it has established a global presence
and reputation with annual worldwide sales of €2.6 billion in 144
countries, supported by a network of 92 production plants/drive
technology centres (DTC) in 48 countries.
Here in Malaysia and marking its 30th anniversary, SEW-
Eurodrive Sdn Bhd, the local subsidiary of the SEW-Eurodrive
Group, is expanding its operations with the commissioning of a new
DTC in the second phase of the Frontier Industrial Park, located in
Ulu Tiram Johor. SEW-Eurodrive’s new 2.4-acre facility will house,
as a ‘one-stop’ centre, its assembly, engineering, sales, service and
training functions, on the premise, and promise, of providing ‘faster
delivery and after-sales support within the shortest time-frame’,
shored by a nationwide supply chain that includes branch offices in
Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Ipoh, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu.
With four more products added to its range, SEW-Eurodrive
Sdn Bhd’s ‘customised’ factory will assemble all types of gearmotors
to suit different types of conditions/requirements, e.g., the S-Type
geared unit for low-noise operations in airport conveyor systems.
The technology behind it all is centred on its modular system, where
the gears allow an infinite number of combination options in torque
and speed, a unique feature that allows for and guarantees to fit the
requirements of any applications.

build-to-suit facility.
About Frontier 2
Sited next to Desa Cemerlang at Ulu Tiram, Johor (within Iskandar
Malaysia), Frontier 2 is a 62-acre industrial park comprising 66
semi-detached and 11 build-to-suit (BTS) factories. For industries,
it is a secure and green complex with gated-guarded surveillance,
a purpose-built two-acre central park for rest and recreation and
a workers’ dormitory for on-site accommodation. Aside from easy
accessibility by road, an added logistical advantage is its proximity to
the state’s key points of commerce, i.e., Johor Port (Tanjung Pelepas)
is 15 minutes away, the Woodlands Checkpoint, 25 minutes, and it
takes 30 minutes to Senai International Airport.
A part of the award-winning* 136-acre Frontier Industrial Park
development by WB Land, first launched in July 2014, Frontier
2’s value-added benefits are (a) the availability of industrial-grade
broadband service (in a tie-up with Bursa-listed REDtone International
Bhd) and (b) its passive green feature, being north-south oriented,
which helps in the design for natural lighting and ventilation. ■

Lama Tiles @ USM Products Talk

Lama Tiles’ Marketing Manager, Mr Gary Ho, highlights the features and advantages of the
company’s range of products at recent USM QS Club Products Talk .
IT IS SAID that success is not a destination but a journey; for Lama
Tiles the trek began in 1951 with the establishment of Butterworth
Brickworks Sdn Bhd, later changed to Lama Tile (Utara) Sdn Bhd
in 1997. Whatever the marque, it has been, in no uncertain terms,
a long haul, spanning more than six decades. Making a name for
itself in the production of clay bricks and profiled roofing tiles
(“LAMA 62”) for building construction, the company has since
consolidated its position in the industry as the manufacturer of
choice, founded on quality workmanship, service and innovative
ZEPHER Solar Ventilator.
technology. To date, Lama Tiles is the oldest and largest privately-
owned enterprise in concrete roofing tiles and metal doors/window
frames in Malaysia and Singapore.

USM QS Club Products Talk

In a recent presentation by Mr Gary Ho Wai Lun, the USM Products
Talk was as good a platform as any to highlight the origins of the
Lama Group and its range of products, accessories and services:
• Duly certified and approved by SIRIM, IKRAM, SPNB and
TCVN (Vietnam) and compliant with standards European (EN
490:1994, EN 491: 1994) and ASTM C 1492 – 03 (American) and
JIS A 5402 (Japanese), the Lama ROMAN range of Extruded
Interlocking Concrete Roofing Tiles are specially designed to
provide higher structural strengths for a higher break loading
and resistance against cross winds, with moderately sized, yet
deep, water course to optimise water flow especially during
heavy rainstorms.
• Lama’s Ultimate Cool Roofing Solution, namely, energy-
efficient KOOL@ROOF which incorporates COOLTECH
roofing tiles, heat-reflective (22-80%, depending on colour)
radiant barriers, ZEPHER solar-powered roof ventilation/
heat extraction system and “Breathable” Ridge & Hip Dry Fix
to remove any remnant penetrated heat. The bottom line is
(a) reduction of 10°-30°C at the surface and 5°-15°C indoors
and up to 10% in cooling costs, translating to approximately
1.0 metric ton of CO2 emission per annum for a 200m² light-
coloured COOLTECH Heat Reflective Tile.
• LAMANO Luxury Tiles of highly-compacted green concrete,
suited to roof pitches of 25° and above and as low as 5° with
ISOLINE system. Green products with low VOC, LAMANO
Tiles are long lasting and durable, self-cleaning with
nanotechnology and, therefore, requiring little maintenance.
Other features include low porosity, fire resistance, acoustical
insulation, high solar reflectance index (SRI) and UV
resistance.
• Full range of roofing components, including (a) Lama Ridge
Tree (for fast and convenient installation and easy levelling of
ridge runner), (b) Lama ‘breatheable’ ridge and hip dry fix with
self-adhesive butyl backing, to replace traditional wet cement
mortar fixing, (c) Lama Abutment Flashing Strip (nailed/
screwed over abutment dry fix to provide sealing).
• ZEPHER Solar Ventilator, powered by energy from the sun to
extract stagnant and hot air built up indoors (via radiation)
through vented ceilings/exhaust fans at rates of more than 10-
15 times that of standard Whirlybirds - ideal energy-saving
application for homes, commercial buildings, offices, factories
and warehouses, schools and leisure outlets. ■

(Note: The recent Product Talk was organised by USM QS Club for
its first and second year students from the Architecture and Quantity
Survey course; special thanks to Prof Dato’ Dr Abdul Rashid
Mohamed, Dean of the School of Educational Studies, USM, and
Lewis, USM QS Club representative.)

Bentley Systems: Advancing Infrastructure

CONNECT Edition unveiled @ Jakarta to an audience of more than 200 building
professionals from various disciplines.
BE IT AMSTERDAM, London or Kuala
Lumpur, it is always an event when
Bentley Systems comes to town and the
recent Jakarta jaunt on 27 April 2016 is no
exception. Bentley, a leading global provider
of comprehensive software solutions
for advancing infrastructure, was in the
Indonesian capital to tell attendees of the
CONNECTION event all about CONNECT
Edition, Bentley Systems’ common
environment that comprehensively supports
on-time delivery of infrastructure projects
and unifies work across the entire project
eco-system and over the full lifecycle of
the project – a “purposefully-connected
environment” to improve the performance
of projects and assets with reduced risks and
on budget.
To an audience of more than 200
building professionals – from disciplines
of design, construction and operations –
the day-long agenda, themed “Advancing
Infrastructure,” also included a keynote
presentation on four innovative projects in
Indonesia that were nominated (by Bentley
Systems users worldwide) to vie for Bentley’s
Be Inspired Awards, an annual programme
that recognises outstanding achievements
in applying technology in infrastructure
development and advancement.
About CONNECT Edition
The CONNECT Edition comprises a
comprehensive modelling environment,
connected performance environment,
and common data environment, while
embracing the Microsoft Azure cloud service,
and supporting a hybrid environment
that includes on-premise servers, desktop
applications, and mobile apps. In serving to
advance projects, it is a new user experience
that, through cloud services, connects and
shares information securely with all project
participants and stakeholders anytime and
anywhere.
Unveiled in 2013, the CONNECT
Edition is BIM Level 3 information
modelling that facilitates “reaction,” enabling
real-time decisions for best performance
and the infrastructure asset to operate with
“intelligence.”
As explained by Mr Kaushik Chakraborty,
VP & Regional Executive, Asia South, Bentley
Systems, the CONNECT Edition allows
“organisations and enterprises, including
the supply chain beyond your organisational
firewalls, to connect their projects to a greater
degree than was ever possible.” In building
infrastructure, it is critical, he elaborated, to
converge project delivery and operations, to
connect assets to improve their performance
and to connect, through reality modelling,
the real to the virtual world.
Keynote Presentation
Highlighted as examples of best practices
in advancing infrastructure, the day’s
agenda featured four innovative and
successful projects in Indonesia. Contenders
drawn from Bentley’s Be Inspired Awards
programme, were:
• USD 5 million project for Holcim
Indonesia for front-end engineering
design of the Lampang Cement
Terminal, including a loading platform,
breasting and mooring dolphin, pipe
bridge and abutment, at the port of
Tarahan in Lampung Province. For
efficient and functional design, BAM
Infraconsult worked with Delta Marine
Consultant Singapore using Bentley’s

STAAD.Pro to provide a fast and accurate solution for meeting
project requirements, i.e., quality design within the scheduled
timeframe and minimum budget. STAAD.Pro’s collaborative
environment for document sharing, review, comment (e.g.,
modification in pipe bridge, steel material take-off, vibration
checks, and so on) also helped to reduce project delivery time
and cost.

was cited, where utility provider PDAM Malang was experiencing

pressure and, in consequence, reduce operating costs through
hydraulic modelling using data logger, flow meter and GPRS
data. WaterGEMS also enabled simulation of customer usage
patterns and the conditions in corroded distribution pipes, a
process much more expedient than manually.
• Within its engineering and maintenance department, technology
services provider PT. FKA Global, Jakarta reduced maintenance
costs by 12% by developing a collaborative data-sharing network.
Aside from eliminating departmental data silos, it bolstered
reliability of customer service data and provided better fibre and
coax network visibility. Software used included Bentley Coax,

Bentley Expert Designer Communications, Bentley Fiber, Bentley

Geo Web Publisher, Bentley Inside Plant, Bentley Map, and
MicroStation, to streamline data communications network and
accommodate its many data formats. As an innovation in utilities
and communication, the system allowed for, along with reduced
maintenance costs, better-managed workflows and licence usage.
• As part of a USD 100 million undertaking by Chevron Indonesia,
the Bangka deep-water gas field located offshore of East
Kalimantan is being developed into a two-well subsea production
that is to be connected to the West Seno FPU by a flow-line
and umbilical. To create an ‘as-built’ 3D model of the unit to
simulate and facilitate design modifications, ZEE Engineering
used Bentley’s MOSES software. It is a cost-effective strategy that
allows for all future modification works, if any, to be less costly.

New from Bentley

Also, it was opportune, at the Jakarta event, to inform all and sundry
on enhancements to Bentley’s existing software including release
of new ConstructSim products, i.e., ConstructSim Planner, that
simplifies the advanced work packaging process using a virtual
construction model, while ConstructSim Work Package Server
combines real-time construction information with automated work
packaging to increase project visibility, improve productivity, and
reduce costs.
In advancing reality modelling capabilities, Bentley has acquired
LumenRT for “visual optioneering,” with real-time, immersive
interaction, enlivening infrastructure environments with rich libraries
of dynamic content. Last, but not least, is Bentley’s acquisition of
AssetWise Amulet, for industrial-scale predictive and prescriptive
analytics that advances Bentley’s existing AssetWise solution from
reliability-centered maintenance and risk-based inspection to asset
performance modelling. ■

100% Leakproof concrete-tiled roof, which translates to more uninterrupted sleeps in

Monier® roof system is durable and 100% leakproof. Even with rain
falls aplenty in Malaysia, house owners do not need to worry about
leaky ceilings and wet floors. Additionally, concrete actually gains in
strength over time as they get harder through further carbonization
by absorbing CO2. This gives concrete tiles an edge over other types of
roofing in terms of durability and longer lifespan. Monier’s roof tiles
are made to prevent fungus and algae growth on the surface. They are
not easily damaged and allow walkability.
Low Noise
The natural properties of concrete tiles provide outstanding acoustic
performance for quieter indoor environment. The mass of the tile
body and the batten system absorb sound waves, helping home
owners to save on heavy investment for huge insulation. What’s more,
the sounds from rain, wind or street traffic are less noticeable with a
a peaceful ambience.
Superior Heat Reflection
Monier® Horizon™ 8 Roof System effectively reflects radiant heat
and has higher residual heat dissipation which prevents large build-
up of residual heat to ensure residents a cooler indoor environment
and maximum comfort of living. The surface materials for roof tiles,
underlay and passive heat removal design applied for this roof system
remove excess heat through self-ventilation.
Monier® Horizon™ 8 Roof System is the ideal and environmental
friendly roof system for low pitched roof. It’s competitive price and
high performance also give your wallet a run for its money. Monier’s
complete roof system is available at all major cities and towns
nationwide. For more information, call toll free 1800 88 0865, e-mail

LAMA Verizon
For many, the home is their greatest single
investment in their lifetime; and the roof
contributes significantly to its grandeur. As
an integral part of the building envelope,
the roof provides protection and shelter
against the elements, namely, solar heat,
wind and rainfall. The selection of roof tiles,
therefore, is topmost and LAMA’s Verizon,
a premium product with a defining touch
of class with uncompromising quality and
aesthetics is the preferred choice.
Verizon is derived from the word
Veritas, portraying the truth and kindness
of beauty under the horizon where ‘beauty
of style and harmony and grace and good
rhythm depend on simplicity’ (Plato;
428-348BC). The elegant, contemporary
and semi-flat but simplistic profile of
Verizon gives the roofline a distinct and
sophisticated character which integrates
seamlessly with the clean lines of the diverse
modern architectural styles, creating a
point of difference with adaptability to a
variety of settings that makes it the ideal
choice for the discerning homeowner even
while it arouses the prolific vision and
creativity of the architect.
‘When love and skill work together,
expect a masterpiece’ (John Ruskin;
1819–1900). Verizon’s exclusively stylish
wing shape and features are infused
by LAMA’s manufacturing expertise,
synergized into a product of distinction
with enduring qualities and requirements.
Further, Verizon’s inspirational colours
work perfectly with the five elements
of geomancy, capturing the essence of
picturesque scenery while retaining its
iconic and beautiful images in the natural
landscape hence, allowing the experience
of style and harmony. ■

architect James K Cheng. A pioneer in
west coast architecture, Cheng’s green glass
towers helped coin the term Vancouverism,
and designed the Fairmont Pacific Rim as
an urban oasis. For the Owner’s Suites he
incorporated contemporary and European
modern design influences for a tranquil space
that is intentionally stunning in its simplicity
and allows panoramic views to remain the
primary focal point.
Fairmont Pacific Rim was rated the
World’s Best Business Hotel by Condé Nast
Traveler and the number one City hotel in

Terra Cotta Studio in central Vietnam
Vietnam’s leading architect, Tropical Space, creates a work space in the middle of a village
for renowned artist Le Duc Ha to create his clay sculptures. Photos by: Hiroyuki Oki
THE TERRA COTTA Studio—located beside the Thu Bon river about
12 km from Hoi An, a Unesco world heritage site in central Vietnam—is
a unique architectural structure in the middle of a village. The Studio is
the work space for renowned artist Le Duc Ha to create his masterpieces
made from terra cotta. Thu Bon river is the lifeline for the local residents
who depend on it not just for sustenance and agriculture but also for
their traditional crafts of mat weaving and silk production.
The Studio is a cube-shaped building that has a space of seven-
metre square surrounded by a bamboo platform that is used for drying
the terra cotta products. Across the interior are two benches for resting
and tea breaks. There is also a raised platform which separates the studio
The exterior facade of the Studio is created
mostly from bricks, bamboo and wood.

and workshop areas.
The outermost layer of the studio is made with solid clay bricks,
resembling a traditional Vietnamese furnace. The studio also borrows
some design characteristics of the ancient Champa culture as this entire
area was part of the Champa kingdom from the fourth to the seventh
century. Bricks are stacked in an interleaved pattern with holes in
between to allow for air circulation. While working, the artist Le can
feel the wind and hear the sound of nature from the surrounding area.
The interior of the studio houses a wood-frame system across
three-floors. This system has 60-centimetre-square modules comprising
shelves for displaying artworks, a staircase, hallways and bench seats.
The frame is seven-metre tall and visitors can walk along the hallway
or climb up to the mezzanine to observe the people at work in the
workshop and look out to the surrounding garden and nearby river.
At the ground floor of the studio is a turntable for Le to work on his
sculptures. Natural lighting is allowed in throughout the day and
visitors can observe the artist working with light as one of his tools.
During the monsoon season, the river might overflow its banks and
flooding is one of the major concerns for the architect. Hence, shelves
are built on the higher decks for the artist to store his unfinished work
should water seep into the studio. The terra cotta studio is designed to
be an arts centre to attract lovers of clay handiworks both locally and
from abroad. n

Anyway Doors with unique 360°
pivoting hinge wins design awards
High-tech hinge makes a heavy door swing as light as a feather and can be customised.
AZ Awards named it “best architectural product” for 2016.
ANYWAY DOORS, a company based in
Belgium came up with the idea for a door
that can swing 360° like a carousel on a
central pivoting hinge. Their design can be
customised and fitted to any pivoting door
or wall.
The idea was so innovative that the judges
at the 6th annual AZ Awards named it “best

architectural product” for 2016. The idea also
picked up a Red Dot award for best product
design last year, among other awards.
Anyway Doors’ design revolves around an
‘invisible’ pivoting hinge that is integrated into
the door panel without the need for visible
floor fixtures. The compact hinge features
a high-tech comfort closure which works
in both swing directions, allowing doors to
revolve up to 360°. The company claims that
the hinge can make doors as heavy as 150kg
feel as light as a feather.
The pivot doors are designed to close
quietly by means of a patented locking
technology integrated in the door as well as
in the minimalist frame. The male (convex)
part consists of a synthetic profile on the door
leaf; the synthetic fitting in the door frame
is the female (concave) part. Every Anyway
door can therefore be set at an opening of 90°,
or 180°/360°. Even with doors swinging at
180°/360°, this guarantees perfect closure and
positioning. The invisible built-in ventilation
is also provided as standard with full doors
and glass-framed doors.
Anyway Doors has been studying the
characteristics of modern doors since 1995.
Not only are doors the most used element in
a residential construction, they also cover a
fair percentage of the wall surface area. From
the start, the company made it its mission
to re-invent the door with special attention
to insulation, ventilation, privacy, security,
maintenance and durability. n
