In today’s fast-paced urban landscape, finding a home that balances well-being, sustainability, and modern comfort can be challenging. SkyWorld Development Berhad (“SkyWorld” or “the company”) addresses this need through its SkyWorld Healthy Home product design principle—an innovative approach that integrates passive design strategies, smart innovations, and eco-conscious features to create a healthier and more comfortable living environment.
As SkyWorld’s 11th completed residential project, EdgeWood Residences at SkySanctuary, Setapak embodies this vision, prioritizing natural elements, energy efficiency, and community well-being. Conceptualized through SkyWorld Healthy Home, the development is built upon four key pillars: Light, Nature, Air & Water, and Community. Natural daylighting is maximized, with over 75% daylight coverage per unit, while extensive landscaping and water bodies help reduce the overall temperature by 2-4°C compared to surrounding areas. The ventilation system and sustainable materials contribute to an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 8-10 (healthy zone) within SkySanctuary Park. Additionally, community-focused shared spaces are designed to foster social engagement and well-being.
By applying passive design principles, SkyWorld Healthy Home enhances daylighting and airflow through large windows and cross-ventilation, improving indoor air quality while reducing energy consumption. Thermal comfort is achieved with optimized building orientation, shading devices, and an earth-tone façade that minimizes heat absorption, keeping homes naturally cooler. Advanced soundproofing technology lowers noise levels from 70dB to 50dB or below, ensuring a quieter and more peaceful living environment.
To showcase these unique features, SkyWorld hosted an exclusive project tour, welcoming over 120 media partners, bankers, and estate valuers for a firsthand experience of the SkyWorld Healthy Home concept at EdgeWood Residences. Situated within the SkySanctuary masterplan, this development seamlessly integrates modern city living with sustainability-focused design.
At EdgeWood Residences, the Smart Façade Design plays a crucial role in maintaining indoor comfort. The earth-tone exterior reflects infrared light to reduce heat gain, while extended balconies and architectural fins provide additional shading. Eco-friendly and energy-saving features, such as low-VOC materials, energy-efficient fittings, and rainwater harvesting systems, contribute to a healthier indoor environment and lower environmental impact. Meanwhile, SkySanctuary Central Park, a 2.92-acre resident-only green space, offers a central lake, lush greenery, and natural biodiversity, enhancing air quality and temperature regulation.
“At SkyWorld, we believe that a home should do more than provide shelter—it should enhance the quality of life. Through SkyWorld Healthy Home, we are refining urban living by integrating sustainability, comfort, and wellness into every aspect of our developments. EdgeWood Residences exemplifies this vision, ensuring that residents enjoy cleaner air, better thermal comfort, and thoughtfully designed community spaces that promote a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.” said Mr. Lee Chee Seng, CEO of SkyWorld Development Berhad.
Beyond individual homes, SkyWorld is committed to creating vibrant community spaces. Residents of EdgeWood Residences enjoy a range of facilities, including an Open-Concept Function Pavilion, Mini Cinema, Kids’ Playroom, Lap Pool, and Co-working Space, all incorporating natural ventilation and eco-friendly materials. The development also features car-plate recognition technology, offering residents seamless and secure access to the property, enhancing both convenience and safety. Additionally, EdgeWood Residences is equipped with high-speed inverter lifts, which consume 30% less energy than conventional lifts, reducing power usage while ensuring smoother and more efficient operation.
The project upholds the highest standards of construction quality, boasting a QLASSIC Score of 86%, while its Bronze GreenRE Certification recognizes its energy efficiency and resource conservation.
With EdgeWood Residences marking yet another milestone in SkyWorld’s journey, the company continues to set new benchmarks in sustainable and wellness-focused urban living. Through innovative design, passive cooling techniques, and a steadfast commitment to reducing environmental impact, SkyWorld Healthy Home is shaping the future of healthier, smarter city living—where homes are designed not just for today, but for generations to come.
