Leading architects Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) are collaborating with Carlo Ratti Associati (CRA) to work on designing a 51-storey development in Raffles place, Singapore. Situated right in the heart of Singapore’s buzzing financial district, this high rise mixed-use development includes residential space with 299 units, an office space, retail shops, and a two-storey food market. Other partners developing Raffles place include CapitaLand and Mitsubishi Estate.
Since the construction process of the Raffles Place has already started, the building is expected to be completed by 2021. Rising 280 metres high, the skyscraper is perceived as a vertical, multi-functional community.
