    The Interlace in Singapore is a modular housing development designed by Ole Scheeren consisting of 31 identical apartment blocks stacked in a hexagonal arrangement to form 8 courtyards. It provides 1,040 units and breaks from the standard isolated towers by creating an interconnected network of living and communal spaces integrated with landscaping. The unusual geometry maximizes green space and creates a diverse array of public and private activity areas connected through cascading sky gardens and terraces.

    The Interlace is located on an elevated eight-hectare site, bounded by


    Alexandra Road and the Ayer Rajah Expressway, amidst the verdant
    Southern Ridges of Singapore.

    With about 170,000 sqm of gross floor area, the development will provide
    1,040 apartment units of varying sizes with extensive outdoor spaces and
    landscaping.

    The Interlace breaks away from Singapore’s standard typology of isolated, vertical apartment towers and instead explores
    a dramatically different approach to tropical living: an expansive interconnected network of living and communal spaces
    integrated with the natural environment.

    Thirty-one apartment blocks, each six-stories tall and identical in length, are stacked in a hexagonal arrangement to form
    eight large-scale open and permeable courtyards. The interlocking blocks form a vertical village with cascading sky
    gardens and both private and public roof terraces.

    The design capitalizes on the generous size of the site and


    further maximizes the presence of nature by introducing
    extensive roof gardens, landscaped sky terraces and
    cascading balconies.

    Above- ground vehicular circulation is minimized, liberating


    large green areas within the development.

    The Interlace incorporates sustainability features through


    careful environmental analysis of sun, wind, and micro-
    climate conditions on site and the integration of low-

    SITE PLAN
    The unusual geometry of the hexagonally stacked building blocks
    creates a spatial structure populated by a diverse array of
    activity areas.
    Partly resting, partly floating, the blocks hover on top of each
    other to form an expressive ‘interlaced’ space that connects the
    individual apartments.
    A Central Square, Theatre Plaza, and Water Park occupy the
    more public and central courtyards.
    The Waterfall, Lotus Pond, and Rainforest Spa complete the eight
    ZONING main courtyards.

    A system of three core types for 6, 18, and 24


    stories is located at the overlap of the stacked
    apartment blocks.

    Cores typically serve 3 to 4 different units per


    floor, providing efficient circulation without long
    corridors.

    Core lobbies are naturally lit and ventilated,


    bringing daylight and fresh air into common
    areas.

    Circular ‘mega columns’ arranged around the


    vertical circulation in an optimized hexagonal
    configuration generate the 3-way rotation of the
    blocks and enable a standard solution for all
    conditions.

    “The design addresses concerns of shared space and social needs in a
    contemporary society and simultaneously responds to issues of shared living
    and individuality by offering a multiplicity of indoor/outdoor spaces specific to
    the tropical context.”
    _Ole Scheeren
