    Text description provided by the architects. The Interlace is located on an elevated eight-
    hectare site, bounded by Alexandra Road and the Ayer Rajah Expressway, amidst the
    verdant Southern Ridges of Singapore. With about 170,000m2 of gross floor area, the
    development will provide 1,040 apartment units of varying sizes with extensive outdoor
    spaces and landscaping. The site completes a green belt that stretches between Kent
    Ridge, Telok Blangah Hill and Mount Faber Parks.

    Designed by Ole Scheeren, partner of the O!ice for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), The
    Interlace breaks away from Singapore’s standard typology of isolated, vertical apartment
    towers and instead explores a dramatically di!erent approach to tropical living: an
    expansive interconnected network of living and communal spaces integrated with the
    natural environment. Thirty-one apartment blocks, each six-stories tall and identical in
    length, are stacked in a hexagonal arrangement to form eight large-scale open and
    permeable courtyards. The interlocking blocks form a vertical village with cascading sky
    gardens and both private and public roof terraces.

    The design 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. The Interlace 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.

    While maintaining the privacy of individual apartment units through the generous spacing
    of the building blocks and far-ranging views, the design also features communal spaces for
    shared activity. Extensive residential amenities and facilities are interwoven into the lush
    vegetation and o!er opportunities for social interaction, leisure, and recreation.

    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 o!ering a multiplicity of indoor/outdoor spaces specific to the tropical
    context.”

    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.”
