Habitat
(In collaboration with Moshe Safdie & Associates)
Year: 1985
Region: SINGAPORE
The 19 storey block of 35 apartments introduced a more compact version of the principles established in the Montreal Habitat to Singapore’s prestigious Orchard Road area. Above, between and below the precast “box” dwelling units, hanging gardens provide “for every house a garden”, but also give the elevation an unusual degree of articulation between solid and void.
