Lincoln Lodge, Singapore

Design Proposal (2007)

Located in one of Singapore’s most prestigious locales in terms of rising property value, LINCOLN LODGE, is a 36 storey high- end residential development set amidst an area with abundant healthcare facilities within a 2km radius.

As a response to commercial viability, marketability, home owner demographics and site conditions, 2 proposed towers (one dedicated to 4- Bedroom apartment units with private pools and health spas and the other accommodating a variety of 1,2 and 3 Bedroom apartment units are deliberately pulled apart across the longitudinal site to create visual porosity and exclusive privacy between the units. The towers are then linked by 5 long-spanning garden plates and communal pavilions, also known as the ‘Vertical Club’, at 5 storey intervals. Thus reducing the span of the garden bridges.

Regardless of the unit types, each unit features green spaces such as balconies and perimeter planters separating the rooms into individual micro pavilion- like spaces tucked within a garden. These ‘green slots’ manifests as aesthetic insertions on the tower’s façade and also design features for cross ventilation.
