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 设计的Scotts大楼是远东组织在新加坡地区第一个亮相的SOHO品牌大楼。这是一个将空间最大化利用于生活/工作/休闲的建筑，展示了新的功能和灵活的垂直维度。大山坐落在新加坡的黄金地算，靠近乌节路豪华购物区和公园，能在大楼上看见新加坡全市市容。Ben van Berkel说：“这个大楼是新加坡城市的一个有趣点，跳出了一般的惯常设计手法，我们创造了一个在天空之中的街区，一个每个区域都很独特功效的垂直城市。”18500平方米，31层，231个单元（3间卧室的公寓和四间卧室的跃层），广阔的花园，空中露台，复式天台花园和各种休闲设施。

天空邻里

用垂直城市整合各种居住类型和规模。此外，退台式屋顶花园及版块式绿化都是重要的设计元素。这个垂直城市在三个尺度上得到了解释：“城市”“邻里”“家”。并用“天空框架”和“垂直框架”把他们组合到一起。垂直框架搭建其这个垂直城市，汇聚了4个不同的街区。天空框架在大堂1—2层以及天空露台—25层。这里塔内的休憩空间和绿化地带。

匹配的生活

四个住宅类型采用了通用的定制设计。个人可以选择每个单位的类型，大小，排列和链接，并进行个性化的室内装饰。居民可以根据自己的意愿装点配置自己的生活。每一个单元都有露台空间可以享受外面的自然风光，全市全景还有建筑退台景观。Ben van Berkel说：“独立框架系统上的阳台有着不同比例的复杂细部，这些大小不一的阳台就像室内家具一样成为建筑的一部分。”

城市阁楼，城市景观，公园景观和屋顶

上述的天空框架的低处，下面16层拥有一百二十八个公寓单位，第二组公寓有80个单元，其中16个单元同第一组单元并列，剩下48个位于16层以上，第二个天空框架之下。塔顶有三个独立跃层住宅。

花园，休闲和天空框架

塔底层天空框架的景观与地面结合天衣无缝。多层次的环境为居民提供不同的休闲区域和设施。有日光浴甲板，50米泳池，儿童游泳池，健身中心，餐厅，烧烤凉亭，会议区，按摩和健身区域。低层“天空大堂”挑高8米，上层的天空框架提供了全景视野的户外休闲社交区。这里有按摩池，泳池，餐厅。
