Singapore Office Tower That Looks Like A Crystal

The design intent of 18 Robinson is to create a signature, boutique, sustainable retail and office tower. It is a product inspired by the urban, environmental and cultural context of contemporary Singapore.

Located at the intersection of Market Street and Robinson Road, the form of this building is the result of the odd shaped site. There are two primary volumes ~ a crystalline office tower that appears to be floating in the air and a retail podium below it. 

Singapore’s Landscape Replacement Area policy dictated that the building must offer publicly accessible green space that is equivalent to the site area. The solution to this authority’s requirement is to create a landscaped podium and rooftop Sky Garden featuring planted trees and natural ventilation. These areas also provide stunning views across the city.

The podium is elevated above the street, enhancing the spaciousness and continuity from the ground level entrance into the atrium garden. The angled composition of the tower allows more natural light into the building’s interior and mitigates direct views into adjacent towers.

这座高楼的设计理念是创建一个具有标志性，精品店和环保的办公大楼。设计灵感来自于当代新加坡城市，环境和文化背景。

位于新加坡两条主要大道的交汇处，这座建筑由两个主要部分组成 - 一个似乎漂浮在空中的水晶办公楼和下面的底层建筑。

新加坡政府的政策规定，该建筑物必须提供与场地面积相等的绿色空间。满足此要求的解决方案是创建一个天空花园，其中种植树木促进自然通风。民众还可以在这里观望新加坡市的美丽风景。
