SkyWorld unveils the Healthy Home initiative as its product DNA.
SkyWorld Development Bhd (SkyWorld) is transforming urban living by seamlessly integrating quality, innovation and affordability. As a dedicated city developer, SkyWorld upholds its brand promise—You can now own a quality home and living—by consistently delivering high-quality homes. This commitment is evident in its impressive QLASSIC scores for workmanship and GreenRE/GBI certifications for green building performance. SkyWorld developments prioritise both sustainability and a high-quality living environment.
Taking a leap forward in its commitment, SkyWorld has launched an initiative known as SkyWorld Healthy Home—a long-term strategy that ensures the four fundamental elements of Light, Air and Water, Nature and Community are prioritised to create an environment that enhances physical and mental well-being. Developments under this initiative will embody sustainable building practices and passive design principles that promote a healthy lifestyle, delivering both healthy buildings and healthy living for residents.
"We have always embraced passive design but now we’ve taken it a step further by embedding it into the very DNA of SkyWorld Healthy Home," said chief executive officer Lee Chee Seng.
EdgeWood Residences’ surrounding is naturally cooling with fresh air, ensuring healthy living for residents.
One example is EdgeWood Residences at SkySanctuary in Setapak, which stands as a testament to SkyWorld's Healthy Building, Healthy Living ethos. From the moment one arrives, the harmonious integration of nature and modern architectural design is evident.
Nestled within lush greenery, the development is anchored by the exclusive, residents-only 2.92-acre SkySanctuary Central Park—a vital green lung thoughtfully designed to elevate urban living. Carefully curated landscapes and tranquil water features work in synergy to naturally regulate temperatures, creating a refreshing microclimate that lowers ambient temperatures by 2°C to 4°C, ensuring a cooler, more comfortable and serene living environment. Amidst the greenery, residents get to savour the clean, fresh air, as the Air Quality Index at the park is firmly within the ‘healthy’ zone of 8 to 10. With SkySanctuary Central Park designed thoughtfully to acts as a natural purifier, it proves that it is possible to create a haven where residents can thrive by weaving nature into the fabric of urban developments.
Nature flourishes at SkySanctuary Central Park, naturally purifying and enhancing urban living.
The façade design of EdgeWood Residences is meticulously crafted for optimal thermal performance, featuring a strategically oriented structure enhanced by shading elements such as architectural fins, alternating balcony lengths and an earth-tone façade. These elements work together to minimise heat retention, naturally keeping indoor spaces cooler. Beyond enhancing comfort, this thoughtful approach significantly reduces energy consumption and lowers the building’s carbon footprint by effectively harnessing natural elements. Thermal imaging tests have shown that this design reduces temperatures by approximately 4°C to 6°C, further proving its efficiency in creating a cooler, more comfortable living environment.
Another key element, Light, is also carefully considered in EdgeWood Residences. Units are designed to be bright and airy, with optimal building orientation and expansive windows that maximise natural light. Each home is meticulously crafted for thermal comfort, incorporating passive design principles that enhance ventilation and daylighting. With over 75% natural daylight coverage, these homes reduce reliance on artificial lighting while promoting well-being. Also, the units are constructed with advanced soundproofing to ensure an ambience of 50dB or below, making EdgeWood Residence a sanctuary amidst the city’s hustle and bustle.
Community thrives at SkyWorld, with vibrant spaces like SAMA
Square fostering connections.
Beyond that, the core pillar of Community thrives on vibrant shared spaces designed to foster genuine social connections— through the development’s extensive facilities or dedicated community hubs like SAMA Square: Setapak's 24-Hour Lifestyle Hub. This seamless blend of social engagement and tranquility results in thoughtfully designed developments that redefine modern community living.
EdgeWood Residences is a prime example of a healthy home, showcasing a commitment to creating sustainable, high-quality living environments through its four key elements. This dedication has earned the development an impressive QLASSIC high score of 86% and a Bronze GreenRE certification, reflecting excellence in construction quality, energy efficiency and resource conservation. As a testament to SkyWorld’s vision, EdgeWood Residences is just the beginning, with future developments set to embody the healthy home philosophy, redefining urban living for generations to come.
