Influenced by the existing trees on the site, the design features screen inspired by the forms of tree trunks and the translucency of leaves.

Design Team: WORK
Location: Singapore
Status: Completion 2010
Located in the Novena area, the site for this 5-storey 1,700 square metres serviced apartment fronts a large and busy road. The client asked for a luxurious and special building, with a distinctive façade.
WORK wanted to create a porous architecture with generous views and light for the occupants. Inspired by the organic forms of nature, the design strategy was to create a building that has separate private and public faces. By dividing the accommodation into two distinct but connected parts, the apartments could have two fronts, one facing the street and the other facing a landscaped poolside area.

The trees on the site inspire the apartment main element – the façade facing the street is clad in a layered mesh screen inspired by the forms of tree trunks and the translucency of leaves. The façade facing the pool area consists of an organic undulating screen and overlapping balconies.
