ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
About Buji Residences Buji Residences consists of 11 residential towers situated on a challenging mountainous terrain. Despite a restricted construction area, the project accommodates high-density living through multifunctional landscape spaces that cater to the diverse needs of residents and their visitors.
BAM integrates landscape program zones for residents of all ages, including a swimming pool, a multi-nodal playground, chess and game rooms, reading zones, pet gardens, sports courts, a playfield, and a dance plaza. The high-density mix of programs is nestled using architectural elements as landscape structures: lobbies, site walls, fences, corridors, ramps, and covers become the occupiable and connective tissue of the landscape program zones.
Visually, the design is recognized for successfully integrating high-contrast patterns and a bold color palette into a high-value residential landscape. Rather than appealing to a notional luxury through conventionally expensive-looking materials, the project achieves a tropical modernist approach where pattern, color, and space achieve a visual richness that surpasses routine application of expensive material finishes.
