Puteri Cove Residences and Quayside, Puteri Harbour Iskandar

"The Puteri Harbour", a mixed used marina front development located at southern of Peninsular Malaysia, takes the inspiration from the qualities of typical waterfront aesthetics and resulting in the natural forms shaping the various functional zones throughout the development. It is also hailed as the Jewel of Iskandar Puteri, Johor, designed to bring world class water front living in Malaysia. Iskandar Puteri is set to be a flourishing zone in Iskandar Malaysia as added ferry travel option recently as well as rail transports in near future, providing many new opportunities for business, developments, offices and people within Iskandar Puteri and beyond. Puteri Cove Residences’ landscape design philosophy is simple yet striking. The design strategy and approach carefully complements the sophistication and diversity of its surrounding nature and waterscape, and encapsulates the lush marina scene surrounding the development by purposefully incorporating the surrounding into the design and architecture of the development. Designed to suit a variety of different lifestyles, Puteri Cove’s resort styled landscape and facilities projects a tropical heaven on earth where one can escape from the pressures of daily routines and luxuriate in lyrical moments amidst the calming waters and thoughtfully designed landscape amenities, right at the doorstep. The varying ecological elements within the area from the sea, dunes, swamp, swale, mound and forest scape provides the site with an interesting topography and ground texture for the designer to experiment with. The concept of “Nature vs. Art” is explored in studying the translation of different shapes, colour and textures when different ecological elements merge into each other such as how water reacts when it flows and penetrate through sand.
