Marina One officially opens
The largest green urban sanctuary in Singapore's CBD was officially opened on Monday 15th January by Mr Lee Hsien Loong, Prime Minister of the Republic of Singapore and Dato' Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak, Prime Minister of Malaysia.
Marina One is an innovative, highly sustainable, high-density building complex in the Marina Bay financial district which upholds the city’s ambition to become a “City within a Garden”. Comprised of four-towers arranged around a central courtyard, the scheme integrates an extensive planted landscape into the fabric of the building.
Our design for the central ‘Green Heart’ unifies the sculptural and planted elements of the building’s architecture. While the outer face of the four towers (designed by Ingenhoven architects) adhere to the city grid, the maximised inner space allows the building to hold a densely-planted garden within. Developed in collaboration with ICN Design International, the planting concept at Marina One varies with the building’s height.
The development is located within Singapore’s Marina Bay financial district, a 360-hectare expanse of reclaimed land on the city’s waterfront. Marina One’s towers meet the “LEED Platinum Pre-certification” and the local “Green Mark Platinum” standards for
their sustainable design.
