Toyo Ito has completed yet another building in Singapore, his second residential project. Located alongside a canalside park in Alexandra, the development consists of 3 high-rise towers and 3 low-rise blocks.
At a lecture in 2015, Ito explained that the building footprint gets larger as it gets taller so the high-floor units with good views are larger than those at the base. The form is also inspired by natural tree-like forms.
Renowned Pritzker Prize winning architect Toyo Ito has completed a number of buildings in Singapore, including VivoCity, CapitaGreen tower, Belle Vue Residences, Pioneer & Crescent Halls at NTU, and the recently completed sports hall at NTU.
