The OMA’s Latest Amazing Project In Singapore

The Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) is set to launch it’s first architectural project in Singapore - a 36-storey residential building which is an amazing feat of engineering. The high-rise tower is going to be 153 metres tall, with four individual towers vertically offset from one another and attached to a central core. “The design vertically redistributes the floor area in four alternating towers to create a skyscraper in which architectural and urban concerns merge with mechanisms that create added value. The architecture, in this sense, goes beyond form and generates symbiotic qualities” says OMA partner Ole Scheeren.
The development will be located at the crossroads of Scotts Road and Cairnhill road and is in close proximity to Singapore’s famous shopping area, Orchard Road. The towers will feature 68 luxury apartment units each offering amazing panoramic views of the city.  The architectural design of the tower  is unique and gives residents an unrestrictive view of the surroundings. OMA’s original design puts the available building site to good use, developing four large towers at the same time as keeping the building’s imprint to a minimum. The freed up space at ground level will provide communal leisure activities for the residents that is to be set out in a lush and tropical landscape.
“OMA with its extensive international experience will certainly bring a new perspective to luxury urban living and add to the cosmopolitan flavour of our development,” says Far East Organization Chief Operating Officer, Chia Boon Kuah. “The design reflects the new vibrancy and vitality of Orchard Road and Singapore.”
