Renowned architect Daniel Libeskind designed this stunning megacondo in Singapore. Located in a prominent location along Singapore’s seafront and Southern Ridges, the buildings sit among sweeping views of mega-yachts at Keppel Bay and the resort island of Sentosa. With six towers between 24-41 storeys and a number of low rise blocks, the development hosts 1,129 homes.
The curved, shard-like towers are a striking sight. Pairs of buildings connected by skygardens dramatically bend in a stunning composition of dynamic angular forms, terminating in sharp lattice crowns. The unique cluster of buildings challenges typical cookie-cutter residential typologies with asymmetric building forms with varying layouts and views. I think it’s one of Libeskind’s most successful high-rise designs.
Up close, one of the highlights of the development are a pair of gold-clad angular recreational buildings, nestled into the verdant grounds next to the pool.
Even a series of shade pavilions along the waterfront evidence Libeskind’s signature deconstructivist style!
Libeskind also designed a nearby low-rise development with 366 units, the Corals at Keppel Bay (pictured below).
This building complex is a bit more reserved but still dynamic and evocative, and there are some interesting moments such as the entrance canopy and even the ancillary services building (below) which terminates the complex with a signature Libeskind bold angular form.
