A LIVING LANDSCAPE

Completed in collaboration with design architect UNStudio, Ardmore Residence at 7 Ardmore Park in Singapore is one of a new breed of residential towers, enjoying both expansive views of the panoramic cityscape and the vast green areas that surround it. The 36-storey residential tower is a multi-layered architectural response to the natural landscape inherent to the ‘Garden City’ of Singapore, expressed through four key concepts: the articulation of the facade, expansive views across the city, interior ‘living landscape’, and connectivity to the ground level gardens.

The facade is derived from interweaving structural elements such as bay windows and balconies into one continuous line. The façade pattern is repeated every four storeys, while rounded glass creates column-free corners, visually merging the internal spaces with the external balconies.

Each of the 58 apartments embodies the idea of a ‘living landscape’, with floor plans designed to offer residents versatile functionality. Large windows and double-height balconies take full advantage of daylight and the panoramic views, creating an indoor-outdoor living experience and an atmosphere of spaciousness.

The first residential level is located on the eighth storey of the building. The open framework at the base of the raised tower frees space for the shared amenities, while enabling connectivity and transparency across the ground level.
