Rifle Range Flats district strikes by the verticality of its high-rise blocks and the tension generated by proximity of the Penang Hill. The radicality of this piece of modern architecture heritage calls today for a new highlight. The feeling of density is extreme and needs to be counterbalanced by generous new visual openings towards the adjacent landscape.

The new east-west mall connects the major existing and fresh public spaces. The new communal loggias make the high-rise buildings patios breath again and provide meeting points in the flights. The new building noses inhabit the gables with open living room and enrich the public space setting.
