Ben van Berkel / UNStudio’s design for The Scotts Tower unveiled today in Singapore UNStudio's design for The Scotts Tower in Singapore will be the first development to be unveiled today under the Far East Organisation's new SOHO brand. Designed to conserve space whilst maximizing live/work/play areas, The Scotts Tower presents a new dimension of functional and flexible vertical space.

Neighbourhoods in the sky The concept of The Scotts Tower is that of a vertical city incorporating a variety of residence types and scales. In addition, outdoor green areas in the form of sky terraces, penthouse roof gardens and individual terraces form an important element of the design. The vertical city concept is interpreted on the tower in three scales; the “city”, the “neighbourhood” and the “home”. The three elements of the vertical city concept along with the green areas are bound together by two gestures: the “vertical frame” and the “sky frames”.

The frame affords the tower the vertical city effect by dividing the four residential clusters into different neighbourhoods. The sky frames – at the lobby (Level 1 & Level 2) and sky terrace (Level 25) – organise the amenity spaces and green areas of the tower.

Individual identity is given to each unit by means of type, scale, distribution and articulation of outdoor space, along with the possibility for personalisation of the interior layout; by means of a semi-white plan, residents will be given the freedom to configure their personal living spaces according to their lifestyles and aspirations.  The Scotts Tower - Unit, drawing courtesy UNStudio The individual articulation of each cluster within the main framework of the tower is directly related to the organisation and materialisation of the terrace spaces. These varied outdoor spaces afford a choice of views, with corner terraces providing both cityscape panoramas and vistas over the natural landscape adjacent to the building.
City Loft, City View, Park View and Penthouses  The Scotts Tower - Skyframe, drawing courtesy UNStudio Situated above the lower sky frame, the hundred and twenty-eight City Loft residences in the first cluster occupy the lower sixteen floors of the tower. The second cluster offers a total of eighty City View units distributed in two clusters. The first cluster shares the first sixteen floor plates with the City Loft residencies. While the second cluster of forty eight units runs above the previous package.

This ground level concept incorporates a multi-layered environment which links together the different zones and recreational facilities available to the residents. Recreational facilities within the gardens include a 50 meter lap pool with sunning deck, a children's pool, a wellness pool, dining & BBQ pavilions, a meeting pavilion and massage and gym pavilions. A green gateway to the residences is created by the lower sky frame terrace, the “sky lobby”, which is located eight meters above the access routes to the building. This terrace serves to continue the natural landscape of the gardens vertically into the tower.

Facilities such as Jacuzzi pools, a swimming pool and a dining deck can be found on the “sky garden” level. + Project factsThe Scotts Tower, Singapore, 2010 Client: Far East Organisation + CreditsDesign Architect UNStudio: Ben van Berkel, Astrid Piber with Luis Etchegorry, Ger Gijzen and Cynthia Markhoff, Konstantinos Chrysos, Elisabeth Brauner, Shany Barath, Thomas van Bekhoven, Iris Pastor, Rodrigo Cañizares, Albert Gnodde, Mo Ching Ying Lai, Grete Veskiväli, Samuel Bernier Lavigne, Lukasz Walczak, Alicja Chola, Cheng Gong Executive Architect: ONG&ONG, Singapore Landscape Architect: Sitetectonix, Singapore         |
