A luxury residential tower named Park Nova in Singapore, will feature a lush vertical garden inspired by the city’s greenery. Singapore is fast carving a name for herself as the vertical garden city of the world with countless high rise buildings with such design. PLP’s biophilic design will blur the line between indoor living areas and outdoor spaces. The architect determines to redefine metropolitan living by promoting health and wellbeing, a thing that was not associated with living in the concrete jungle in most people’s minds.
Set in Singapore’s coveted Orchard neighbourhood, formerly home to orchards, Park Nova tower was inspired by the area’s history and lush green character, striving to maintain and further enhance this feature. The building is elevated above the tree canopy on slender columns. Optimal shading and ventilation are achieved by the rotated undulating floor plates which are arranged to form three wings.
The 21-storey building contains 54 apartments and hosts a
variety of resident amenity spaces. Each apartment benefits from a 270degree
panoramic view, and the green terraces offer a natural noise barrier. The
project features a sky-terrace on the 14th floor, which hosts a gym and a
lounge, together with a vast outdoor space, that marks the building’s
silhouette.
Park Nova is PLP’s first residential high rise building, marrying the practice’s extensive knowledge in residential design and the vast experience with tall buildings. The London-based studio with a Tokyo office is currently designing several mixed-use projects in Singapore and, as a result, is considering establishing a South East Asia office.
