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.

The Scotts Tower SOHO apartment building is situated on a prime location in Singapore, close to the Orchard Road luxury shopping district and with views encompassing both nearby parkland and the panoramic cityscape of Singapore City.

Ben van Berkel: “An interesting facet of The Scotts Tower is the way that it reacts to the urban context of Singapore. 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.” The 18,500m2, 31-storey, 231-unit tower consists of 1 to 3-bedroom apartments and 4-bedroom penthouses; expansive landscaped gardens, sky terraces, penthouse roof gardens and diverse recreational facilities.

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 vertical frame organises the tower architecturally in an urban manner. 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.

Customised living

The four residential clusters are each designed for versatile and customised living. 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 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. Ben van Berkel: “The balconies combined with the zoning of the individually framed neighbourhoods in The Scotts Tower create different scales of detail in the structure; both intricate, smaller details and larger gestural details. In The Scotts Tower the balconies form part of the interior furniture.”

City Loft, City View, Park View and Penthouses

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. Park View units form the next cluster above the second sky frame, covering five floors and containing twenty units. Crowning the tower is the final cluster containing one floor of three exclusive Penthouse residences.

Gardens, recreation and Sky Frames

The nearby green area to the West of the tower is extended into The Scotts Tower site initially by means of a ground level landscape concept designed by Sitetectonix. 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 A second sky frame terrace, the “sky garden” is introduced above the third cluster, offering panoramic views and the possibility for use as a social platform for outdoor events. Facilities such as Jacuzzi pools, a swimming pool and a dining deck can be found on the “sky garden” level.

UNStudio 設計的Scotts大樓是遠東組織在新加坡地區第一個亮相的SOHO品牌大樓。這是一個將空間最大化利用于生活/工作/休閑的建築，展示了新的功能和靈活的垂直維度。大山坐落在新加坡的黃金地算，靠近烏節路豪華購物區和公園，能在大樓上看見新加坡全市市容。Ben van Berkel說：“這個大樓是新加坡城市的一個有趣點，跳出了一般的慣常設計手法，我們創造了一個在天空之中的街區，一個每個區域都很獨特功效的垂直城市。”18500平方米，31層，231個單元（3間臥室的公寓和四間臥室的躍層），廣闊的花園，空中露台，複式天台花園和各種休閑設施。

天空鄰裏

用垂直城市整合各種居住類型和規模。此外，退台式屋頂花園及版塊式綠化都是重要的設計元素。這個垂直城市在三個尺度上得到了解釋：“城市”“鄰裏”“家”。並用“天空框架”和“垂直框架”把他們組合到一起。垂直框架搭建其這個垂直城市，彙聚了4個不同的街區。天空框架在大堂1—2層以及天空露台—25層。這裏塔內的休憩空間和綠化地帶。

匹配的生活

四個住宅類型采用了通用的定制設計。個人可以選擇每個單位的類型，大小，排列和鏈接，並進行個性化的室內裝飾。居民可以根據自己的意願裝點配置自己的生活。每一個單元都有露台空間可以享受外面的自然風光，全市全景還有建築退台景觀。Ben van Berkel說：“獨立框架系統上的陽台有著不同比例的複雜細部，這些大小不一的陽台就像室內家具一樣成爲建築的一部分。”

城市閣樓，城市景觀，公園景觀和屋頂

上述的天空框架的低處，下面16層擁有一百二十八個公寓單位，第二組公寓有80個單元，其中16個單元同第一組單元並列，剩下48個位于16層以上，第二個天空框架之下。塔頂有三個獨立躍層住宅。

花園，休閑和天空框架

塔底層天空框架的景觀與地面結合天衣無縫。多層次的環境爲居民提供不同的休閑區域和設施。有日光浴甲板，50米泳池，兒童遊泳池，健身中心，餐廳，燒烤涼亭，會議區，按摩和健身區域。低層“天空大堂”挑高8米，上層的天空框架提供了全景視野的戶外休閑社交區。這裏有按摩池，泳池，餐廳。
