THE INTERLACE SINGAPORE concept + The Interlace breaks away from Singapore's standard typology of isolated, vertical apartment towers and instead explores a dramatically different 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.
