The Interlace Condo - Where Indoors Spaces Meet OutDoors - One of the largest and most ambitious residential developments in Singapore, presents a radically new approach to contemporary living in a tropical environment.
Designed by Ole Scheeren, partner of OMA, The Interlace adopts a new residential typology which breaks away from the standard isolated, vertical apartment towers of Singapore. The large-scale complex takes a more expansive and interconnected approach to living through communal spaces which are integrated into its lush surrounding greenbelt.
Thirty-one apartment blocks, each standing at six-storeys tall and identical in length, are stacked in a hexagonal arrangement to form eight large open and permeable courtyards. The stacked formations allow light and air to flow through the architecture and surrounding landscape. developed by Capitaland and Hotel Properties Limited, The Interlace covers 170,000 m² of gross floor area and will house 1,040 apartment units of varying size.
- Where Urban Living meets nature
- Where Community meets privacy
- Where Indoors Spaces Meet OutDoors.
Interlace Condo landscaping takes up eight-hectares, with the arrangement of the buildings maximizing the presence of the surrounding tropical floral by introducing extensive roof gardens, landscaped sky terraces, cascading balconies and lush green areas. The continuous landscape is also projected vertically, from the planting of green areas in open-air basement voids, through balconies and rooftop gardens.
The private balconies give apartments large outdoor space and personal planting areas. Cascading gardens spill over the facades of the building drawing a visual connection between the elevated green refuges and expansive tropical landscape on the ground. Complex is also embedded within tropical flora, letting nature expand. Sky gardens provide panoramic views across The Interlace Condo site and throughout the complex.
The architectural design also incorporates sustainability features through careful environmental analysis of sun, wind and micro-climate conditions on site and the integration of low-impact passive energy strategies. water bodies have been strategically placed within wind corridors as a means of allowing evaporative cooling to happen along the wind paths, reducing local air temperatures and improving thermal comfort in outdoor recreation space.
