INTRO
GFD teamed up with LAUD Architects to develop the site and a new skin for the building as part of a design competition by the clients.
CONCEPT
“Transparent” Sun-Shading Skin
Metal tube frames flow along the building’s perimeter. These tubes are perfectly aligned with tight tolerances for expansion under Singapore’s tropical climate.
“Integrated Green Delights”
Strategically placed potted plants in-between the skin and glass façade help to enhance the edges and softens its mass.
Outdoor Spaces
Designed to be a People-centric hub, PHILIPS modern façade and extensive landscaping brings the outdoor environment inside the hub.
Central Street
As the focal point of the development, it encourages interaction within the community, as well as an abundance of natural daylight from pixelated roof skylights.
At dusk, the facade envelope skin appears to “peel off” to invite and draws passers by in
