In Singapore, a policy was adopted in 2014 stating that any\nlost plant space, due to urban development, must be replaced by a publicly\naccessible garden on an identical surface in the new building. This obligation,\ncombined with the constraints regarding the V-shaped site that directly impact\nthe design of Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) for the Robinson Tower, a\nskyscraper part of a sustainable urban planning approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed in collaboration with A61 Architects, the Robinson\nTower stands out in the landscape by its original form. The 20-storey building\nseems split in two by a terrace that is articulated on several levels. The\natrium is the central core to which workspaces, office halls, shops and\nrestaurants converge. The bay windows overlooking Robinson Street promote\ndialogue with the surrounding urban landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The facets of the tower are designed to reflect the sun and\nsky differently depending on the weather and the times of the day, like a\nkaleidoscope. The tower is also home to KPF’s local office, which opened in\nSingapore in 2018 with the order of Terminal 5 at Changi Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bruce Fisher, KPF’s design director, explains that the\nconstraints of this project were complex but that the result is a success,\nparticularly in terms of visual perceptions, whether from inside or outside.\nThe tower is dynamic, it frees itself from the classic linear facades of\nhigh-rise buildings that are generally found in metropolises, and above all it\nincorporates green spaces with unique points of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Even though this project was huge, with a park integrated into its plan, this distinctive tower embodies the integration of context, culture and sustainability into architecture in the same way. \u00bb<\/p>Robert Whitlock, principal designer of KPF <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
