Daniel Libeskind is known for his dramatic and often angular designs for cultural institutions such as theJewish Museum in Berlin。像许多建筑师一样,他认为下一个边疆征服亚洲高层豪华住宅塔的设计。他的公司,Studio Daniel Libeskind,被设计为设计Reflections at Keppel Bay, a two million square foot residential development at the entrance to Singapore’s harbor.

该网站作为岛屿国家的门户,沉浸在该地区的海上遗产,以前被造船厂占据。新加坡政府已设想这座城市南岸作为旅游目的地,并搬迁造船厂为奢侈的海滨发展方式。在2011年底完成的Keppel Bay的思考由六个高层塔楼组成,包括24至41个故事,以及11个低层别墅公寓楼,上升六到八个故事,共提供超过1000个单位。

Although Libeskind faced the challenge of packing in as many units as possible to offset the high cost of real estate, he aimed to infuse this residential development with the liveliness and richness of a cultural center. He designed towers that undulate, clad in insulated glass curtain walls with anodized aluminum frames. Their curves capture views of the waterfront, an adjacent golf course, and the nearby island resort of Sentosa, as well as the rolling hills of Mount Faber in the distance. The towers are crowned with a latticework of steel that conceals open-air gardens, and nine asymmetric sky bridges connect the towers while providing additional outdoor space for residents.

塔的换档形式确保唯一性在非常级别,没有两个单位完全相同。libeskind画了自然的灵感;塔楼实际上反映了周围的海洋,并打电话给盲目的竹茎在风中摇曳。然而,防止复杂的双弯曲形式从字面上摇曳涉及一些隐形结构操纵。因为每个楼层重叠,所以塔的重力中心倾向于转移。为了抵抗这些力,每个塔需要强力升力芯壁,用作固体脊柱。工程师为每层楼创造了独特的结构计划,需要比传统的公寓项目的部分更大的努力。

Libeskind与当地建筑师密切合作,以利用亚洲的敏感性来注入项目的内部,并将与新加坡人相关的功能合并。空间有效地策划并具有高质量的饰面。该网站的其余部分旨在补充塔,并产生相干的组成。像塔一样,别墅的外墙也曲线,它们是铝中的包层。俱乐部/健身房的设计将品种注入现场计划;其雕塑形式是三个气缸作为一个圆柱体。居民们还享用郁郁葱葱的景观,游泳池和滨海游泳池和海滨长廊等设施。

该项目一直非常成功,几乎所有单位都被占用了。Libeskind在亚洲拥有其他几个类似的项目,包括釜山,韩国和首尔群岛21的混合用途开发。
