Oasia Hotel Downtown

The Oasia Hotel Downtown, a striking tower of red with its very own sleeve of lush vertical greenery in its ever-evolving form, is located in the vicinity of Tanjong Pagar MRT Station. The 314-room integrated hotel-office development is conceptualised by local architectural firm WOHA, and is a unique embodiment of the vertical environment with its integration of greenery and biodiversity.

The hotel is strategically designed to overcome the constraints of the site, which measures 24,757 square feet, as well as to create three specific zones to hold high-ceilinged offices, hotel rooms and club floors within one tower. In response to these challenges, WOHA worked these zones into three stacked L-shaped sections with unique facings for each zone.

With 30m-high sky gardens and a living façade of creepers and flowering plants, the hotel’s architectural surface treatment with landscaping forms a major part of its material palette to achieve an overall Green Plot ratio of 750%. An organic-themed interior by Spanish interior designer Patricia Urquiola adds to the hotel’s focus on crafting an environment for its guests to recharge, refuel and refresh.

The Scotts Tower

The Scotts Tower is designed as a new representation of efficient and customisable space that maximises areas for living, working and leisure. Conceptualised by celebrated Dutch architect Ben van Berkel of UNStudio, the 31-storey luxury residential tower holds 231 apartments in Singapore’s prime commercial and residential district of Orchard Road. It highlights a vertical spatial concept, with a mix of one- to three-bedroom units alongside three exclusive four-bedroom penthouses.

The Scotts Tower is an engineering feat. It stands in close proximity to underground MRT tunnels and had an architectural requirement for slanted columns to support the building. Engineer Aaron Foong of KTP Consultants had to creatively overcome multiple challenges, in addition to working around ground conditions, spatial constraints of the site and foundation piles of an adjacent demolished building. With deft innovation, Mr Foong had a two-ringed wall installed to support excavation and avoid affecting MRT tunnels, and an “outrigger” component constructed to distribute the building’s weight while retaining the aesthetics of the unique slanted columns.

Today, penthouse roof gardens top the property and form an integral green element of The Scotts Tower alongside individual terraces. Mr van Berkel’s interpretation of space for The Scotts Tower is a unique take on the precinct’s urban context: “Instead of the more usual means of planning a city horizontally, we have created neighbourhoods in the sky; a vertical city where each zone has its own distinct identity.”

Waterfront Collection

As one of the largest and possibly last private developments in the area to have direct water frontage, the Waterfront Collection is a unique offering of residences framing the Bedok Reservoir.

Jointly developed by Far East Organization and Frasers Centrepoint Limited, the collection sits on a 7.5ha site carved into four parcels of land, with each developer leading two developments.

Conceptualised by award-winning DP Architects, the Waterfront Collection comprises Waterfront Waves, Waterfront Key, Waterfront Gold and Waterfront Isle. The four estates combine to offer more than 1,700 units that range from one- to four-bedroom apartments, alongside penthouses.

Guided by a master plan, each development was created with a unique design concept to allow homebuyers variation in facilities, architecture and landscape. Together, the developments have injected new life into Bedok Reservoir and its surrounding areas, adding architectural diversity and revitalising the modern ideals of waterfront living.

SBF Center

SBF Center is a 31-storey commercial development featuring 196 contemporary office units and 48 purpose-built medical suites. It is located in an urban high-density area in the heart of Singapore’s Central Business District (CBD). Just 400 metres from Tanjong Pagar MRT Station, it is also a Green Mark Platinum building with sky gardens, a fully sheltered plaza that simulates an indoor park, F&B outlets, a 20m lap pool and a gymnasium. The Singapore Business Federation (SBF) is a major occupier of the Center. Additionally, members of SBF and the wider business community have access to a 22,000 sq ft Community/Sports Facilities Scheme space gifted by Far East Organization to SBF Foundation.

Engineer Allan Teo overcame major challenges in the construction of SBF Center. An example was the issue of the Center’s slender build: due to its close proximity to neighbouring structures and the first reserve line of the East-West Line MRT tunnel, SBF Center stands at a soaring 184 metres with a width of only 20.2 metres. To reduce impact on nearby structures during construction, Mr Teo used top-down construction and an earth retaining and stabilising structure (ERSS), thereby sustaining a tall but balanced site to completion.
