這棟36層樓高的住宅樓坐落于城市中心高樓區的邊緣，居民的視野能夠越過面前低矮建筑群看到遠處的自然保護區。該項目探索了在熱帶環境里的高層住宅實現方法。塔樓將幾種環保設計融入到了當代建筑構成當中，為城市的天際線增添了一種新的現代環保高樓模式。

建筑外部由遮陽設施，有著特殊紋理的色塊圖案和懸挑出來的陽臺一起構成了具有功能性又極富表現力的立面語言。橫向的金屬遮陽網格能有效地遮擋熱帶強烈的陽光，而網格相對于實心板材則能在阻隔日照得同時避免高層與地面之間的視線阻擋。遮陽網自上而下包裹住了整棟建筑包括了樓的轉角處。從不同的角度看去，這些網格和它們在陽光下的投影交織互動形成了建筑虛實之間的另一層變化而不是絕對清晰的語言，讓建筑在一天的不同時間里呈現出不同的美感。除此之外，這些網格也很好的與公寓的凸窗(凸窗在新加坡公寓里是一個標準的設計因為它能為開發商增加可售面積帶來更大的商業利益)結合起來讓凸窗在立面上變得更加統一且與眾不同。

懸挑出的空中花園和陽臺和遮陽網一起組成了塔樓的室外環境，這是一種有著充分遮陽和自然通風，非常適合熱帶居住的生活環境。而且由于基地地勢較高的緣故，這種理念變得更加切合實際。

建筑的地面層是架空的，所有居住和輔助功能都被抬高，這樣避免了居民受到周邊接到的噪音煩擾也避免了地樓層的居民無法享受的好景致的狀況發生。雖然樓層越高景致越好價格也越貴，但設計仍確保了樓層最低的居民也能看到遠處的自然保護區并且能享受到小區內公共綠化的綠意，在保證品質的同時實現了開發商利益的最大化。由于首層架空，居民樓的落客點也被設計得大方高挑。同時因為建筑足跡在地面層的減少這里的公共區域得以規劃進更多的綠化，讓落客處等地面公共空間都被環繞在濃濃的綠意里。

公寓單位以每層兩梯四戶的格局垂直堆疊起來。每個單位都有寬闊的室外生活陽臺面向著自然保護區和城市景觀。廚衛等功能區被安排在了單位的后方，既能與室外通氣又能被隱藏起來在立面上不被看到。盡管公寓的布局緊湊，但前后的通風設計加上被動式環保節能外立面的采用確保了每家每戶都有著良好的自然通風而不必過度依賴空調。

This 36-storey building is sits at the edge of a high-rise zone and fronts a height-controlled area that affords expansive views of the central nature reserves. The project is a study in environmental solutions to tropical high-rise living. The design integrates several sustainable devices into a contemporary architectural composition, creating a sustainable, contemporary addition to the city skyline.

The exterior of the tower uses sunshading elements, patterned planes of textured panels and protruding balconies to create a facade that is functional yet expressive. The horizontal, metal expanded mesh sunshading screens the strong tropical sunlight. The angled mesh prevents insolation while permitting visual connection to the ground. The angled expanded mesh changes appearance with viewpoint, appearing anywhere between solid and transparent. This, combined with the cast shadows and interference patterns between the shadows and the mesh, gives the building a constantly shifting, blurred appearance depending on angle and time of day. The layers of sunshading screens also changes the reading of the projections of the bay windows, a standard applied feature of Singapore apartments due to their contribution to developer proft and prescriptive regulations, embedding them in the language of the building.

Protruding sky gardens and balconies combined with sunshading screens create outdoor living environments that are sheltered with ample cross-ventilation due to its elevated location and are particularly suited for the hot tropical climate.

The building is elevated above the ground level to mitigate noise pollution from the adjacent street and view blockage with the lowest habitable unit enjoying views of the communal landscaped deck at the rear and views out to the nature reserves in front; ensuring that maximum value is retained for the developer as higher units command a price premium. The elevated building also afords a high volume drop-of on the ground level with lush landscaping fowing from the external under the building footprint for a larger landscaped area.

Residential units are stacked 4 per floor with habitable balconies treated as outdoor living rooms orientated towards views of the nature reserve and city centre. Service areas are screened from view and open to the external at the rear of the units. Despite the stacked layout of the units, ample cross-ventilation from the balcony front through the services areas at the rear coupled with the passive environmental fa?ade features ensure that the units are conducive for tropical living without depending on mechanical cooling.

景觀植栽如屋頂花園，空中花園和垂直綠墻被當作是建筑材質的一種從項目一開始就被考慮近了設計當中。設計在建筑外立面一般比較單調的位置設置了可供攀爬型植被附著的屏障，形成了既可以創造視覺享受又能吸收陽光和二氧化碳為高密度住宅制造氧分的垂直綠墻。大部分的建筑平面和立面都得到了綠植覆蓋，實現了130%(110%為實際種植的)于基地面積的景觀綠化。樹木被用于停車場的遮蔭之用，同時也被植栽到了每隔四層就一個的懸挑空中花園和最高層的閣樓公寓花園之上。地面上的多層停車場也被能阻隔并吸收汽車尾氣的垂直綠化覆蓋，而且地上停車場的耗能要比普通地下停車場要少得多。在多層停車場的頂部，設計安排了豐富的會所功能，如健身房，蒸汽室，派對池和一條25米長的玻璃邊際的泳池等。

所有的環保設計讓樓內的公寓單位和社區場所都形成了獨特的熱帶建筑體驗，提高了居住環境品質的同時也迎合了新加坡花園城市的主題。

Landscape is used as a material – rooftop planting, skygardens and green walls were incorporated into the design from the very beginning. Creeper screens are applied to otherwise blank walls to create visual delight, absorb sunlight and carbon and create oxygen in the dense environment. Most available horizontal and vertical surfaces are landscaped; creating an area of landscaping that is 130% (110% planted) of the total site. Trees cover the carpark, project from the skygardens at every 4 levels and crown the building at the penthouse roof decks. The above ground carpark uses far less energy than an underground carpark and is fully enclosed with creepers, absorbing exhaust emissions. The carpark roof houses a substantial clubhouse with gym, steam room, party areas and 25m swimming pool with a glass overfow edge.

The environmental elements added to liveable apartments and extensive communal areas combine to make a unique tropical building that achieves both Singapore's national vision for a green city and an improved living environment for the inhabitants.
