Architectural Wonders: Condominium at Bishan Central, Singapore

I always like to consider myself a village girl, but if it were about living in a luxurious building, such as this one, I could take my words back and happily turn into a city lady... with an additional village residence still!;)

Safdie Architects unveiled recently their giant project - ‘Condominium at Bishan Central’, -- a 38-story residential complex in the Bishan district of Singapore, comprising approximately 500 apartments. A special appeal includes individual penthouse-like roof terraces and public gardens for more than one-third of the individual residences - a dream option for city villagers!

The structure specially provides air movement to individual units while the upper balconies provide ventilation. The cluttered blocks of vertical space helps blend in the connections with nature with personal access to outdoor gardens.

{...Instead of independent towers, the condominium's two towers are linked by three bridging "sky gardens"...} Mr Safdie says: “While providing an unprecedented quality of life, mitigating a sense of density and concentration and maximising contact with nature, the complex also results in a village-like clustering of residential units, echoing hillside developments and the integration of architecture and plant life into a singular experience.”

Design and development works are in progress and the condominium is targeted to be launched for sale in the first half of 2012. 

Would you like to reside there? And how do you like a breathtaking ability of swimming in a pool located high in the sky?
