Architecture: The Interlace, a set of interlinked buildings for Singapore [Office for Metropolitan Architecture, OMA].
Designed by Office for Metropolitan Architecture [OMA], "The Interlace-is located in the green belt outside the city in Singapore. Consists of 31 stacked apartment blocks, each six stories high and identical in length and as a result, 170,000 square feet of gross floor area and 1,040 apartments.
In an area of \u200b\u200babout 170.000 m2 south of Singapore is expected to develop a 1.040 residential apartments, with large open spaces, and a green belt around, but with the particularity that breaks the typical organization in isolated blocks. The Interlace, and the project is called, consists of 31 blocks of same size [6 storeys] stacked so that large spaces are formed hexagonal areas inside.
Each block of houses is a bridge, and the support points between them are always performed in the same place, and there are six different orientations of blocks and a maximum height of 24 floors [6 x 4 levels]. Each block has a roof garden for the enjoyment of the community, along with gardens arranged in floor, makes The Interlace reinstate the green nature that go away with its construction.
interesting thing about the strategy used by OMA is the density achieved, while being able to maintain the privacy of departments by the distance and views.
Another result of this strategy of stacking spaces are all displayed both at ground level and on the covers of these blocks. To see the project plan, we distinguish a series of courts with equipment for the community. In this way the OMA proposal becomes a vertical community, which departs from the typical tower. According
OMA
account, this design incorporated several variables of sun, wind and the local microclimate, in addition to passive energy strategies under impact.
The project is carried out by Ole Scheeren [OMA partner] and Eric Chang.
