“Reflections” – Glass Towers With Green Roofing

Master architect Daniel Libeskind has successfully completed construction of the very first ultra-green tower - “Reflections”, a waterfront habitat at Keppel bay, Singapore. The brilliance of the architecture of Reflections showcases Singapore as the home of world-class seafront residences.

Reflection covers a shoreline space of 750m, giving an unobstructed view to the waterfront, the Keppel club golf course and the lavish surroundings. Reflections is located in the southern bay of Singapore with six glass towers and a 11-villa apartment block which hosts 1,129 luxuries homes. The towers are crowned by lush green sky gardens on the sloping rooflines and are linked by sky bridges, providing pockets of open spaces and platforms with 360-degree views of the spectacular surrounds. The six glass towers range from 24-storey to 41-storey height, whereas the villa apartment blocks range from 6-storey to 8-storey.

Ar. Libeskind uses very different innovative design features for this spectacular residence to give each and every unit a unique shape. The floors of the residence look slanted due to the curved façade but in reality are flat units are with no balconies.

Reflections, with its many green credentials received the Green Mark Gold Award by the Building and Construction Authority in 2008.
