OMA: The Interlace Residential Complex, Singapore




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 170,000m2 of gross floor area and will house 1,040 apartment units
of varying sizes.
