Vertical city of prefabricated volumetric modules wrapped in greenery.
Merit Prize, International Building Design Competition 2020, organised by Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority under the theme “Sustainable & Intelligent City”.
Our building design was inspired by the tree house, as it is vital to retain our precious greenery and replenish it in our increasingly urban environment. This is especially so for our site, which lies at the heart of Orchard Road and is one of the few natural green areas left there. The Treehouse aims to push the boundaries of sustainable design coupled with innovative design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA). A key principle of our design is the facade which integrates greenery and is enhanced to maximise DfMA capabilities, giving rise to a unique architectural design that is green and structurally efficient.
