Le Corbusier meets Mies van der Rohe
ARCHITECTURE
Le Corbusier’s ‘lesson of Rome’ inspired the two simple cubic forms of the overall design.
Architects RTNQ applied valuable lessons applied by Architectural masters when creating Petit Jervois. Le Corbusier’s ‘lesson of Rome’ inspired the two simple cubic forms of the overall design, whilst Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s ‘free -plan’ influenced the simple and free-flowing spatial plans of the apartments to maximise flexibility, a precious commodity in today’s world.

Each cubic block was carefully positioned considering the tropical climate’s vagaries and the surrounding neighbourhood. The result was low-slung, angular apartment buildings surrounded by baroque-inspired landscaping and two piazza-like spaces, each providing distinctly different experiences.
The first piazza serves as a striking entry point with its sweeping driveway; the rear piazza is a veritable sanctuary, with pockets of quiet spaces for residents to unwind and bask in the tranquil surroundings. Lush greenery encircles a 20-metre swimming pool and a pool pavilion with fitness equipment — an extension of the Ultimate Living in the natural beauty of the outdoors.
