The Best of Both World

 

It is made to form a hexagons developed by Capitaland and Hotel Properties. The greenery surrounding Alexandra Road and Ayer Rajah Expressway is the ideal background for this new developement. The approximate 870000 square feet of land will have 1,040 units ranging in size from 2 / 3 / 3 + study / 4 bedroom /Townhouse / Penthouse units. It forms a seemless green belt that stretches between Kent Ridge, Telok Blangah Hill and Mount Faber parks..

This outstanding design highlights and takes advantage of Singapore's natural environment. The massive size of the development has permitted designers to include a large number of greenery to give the complex a tropical feel to the over all effect of the venture.

The Iconic Design

Ole Scheeren said: “The design addresses concerns of shared space and social needs in a contemporary society and simultaneously responds to issues of shared living and individuality by offering a multiplicity of indoor/outdoor spaces specific to the tropical context.”

This new concept takes a different and unique approach to tropical green living as the building complex is made of connected hexagonal buildings built to highlight Singapore's natural environment. It capitalizes on the generous size of the site and further maximizes the presence of nature by introducing extensive roof gardens, landscaped sky terraces and cascading balconies. Above-ground vehicular circulation is minimized, liberating large green areas within the development.

However at the Interlace Condo, privacy is balanced with green open spaces for recreation and generous spacing in between units. There are also other amenities homeowners can enjoy that were incorporated into the natural greenery aside from the quantity of indoor and outside recreation areas built for fun and relaxation.

Patricia Chia, CEO of CapitaLand Residential Singapore, said: “This is a great opportunity to create and build a residential destination at the Gillman Heights site that will challenge the present architectural definition of living spaces. While developing the dramatic external form, we have also given much attention to creating comfortable internal spaces. The name, The Interlace, reinforces the interconnectivity of the community with the surrounding natural environment. Ole Scheeren has created a new landmark for Singapore.”
