ACE Community Centre
The competition brief specified an iconic building and a “home away from home”. Our response was to provide a “living room” concept in which a number of public spaces are designed to be flexible and encourage social interaction between the users. The iconic orange canopy acts as a metaphor of sheltering the numerous activities provided by the community club while the “green ramp” brings the public to the function deck on the 3rd storey and provides sun shading to the air-conditioned multi-purpose hall at the same time.
