    The Interlace is a residential development in Singapore consisting of 31 stacked apartment blocks arranged in a hexagonal configuration. This creates 8 large courtyards and over 1,000 apartments with extensive outdoor and landscaped spaces. The development breaks from the standard isolated high-rise towers and instead creates an interconnected network of living and communal spaces integrated with nature. The design maximizes green space with roof gardens, sky terraces, and cascading balconies to improve sustainability and the living experience.

    LITERATURE CASE STUDY ON:

    THE INTERLACE

    BY: REKA.B.S | RA1511201010100


    INTRODUCTION
    Architect in Charge- Ole Scheeren

    Design Architect- OMA, designer & partner-in-charge Ole Scheeren

    Area- 169600.0 sqm

    Project Year- 2013

    LOCATION-

    • located on an elevated eight-


    hectare (80000 Sq.m) site,
    bounded by Alexandra Road and
    the Ayer Rajah Expressway,
    amidst the verdant Southern
    Ridges of Singapore.
    • With about 170,000m2 of gross
    floor area, the development will
    provide 1,040 apartment units of
    varying sizes with extensive
    outdoor spaces and landscaping.
    INTRODUCTION

    Thirty-one apartment blocks, each six-stories


    tall and identical in length, containing 1,040
    apartments, 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 name, The Interlace, reinforces the


    interconnectivity of the community with
    the surrounding natural environment.
    Ole Scheeren has created a new
    landmark for Singapore
    CONCEPT

    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.

    SECTION
    Green spaces
    • 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.
    • The Interlace incorporates sustainability
    features through careful environmental
    analysis of sun, wind, and micro-climate
    conditions on site and the integration of
    low-impact passive energy strategies.

    • the skygardens sheltered by


    blocks above are publicly
    accessible by all residents, and
    private skygardens 'owned' by
    (essentially) high-rise
    bungalows are open to the
    sky.
    Ole Scheeren said: “The design
    addresses concerns of shared
    space and social needs in a
    Recreational
    spaces
    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.”

    INFERENCE
    • Though the design generates diff
    horizontal arrangements of blocks instead of
    a skyscraper but it is only possible when the
    site is large enough.

    • No intersection of pedestrian movement by


    vehicular movement.

    • More incorporation of social spaces.

    • More of green area than the built up area,


    thus making it a part of the ecology.

    • All types of units are mixed.

    • The spatial arrangements of the different Model of the Interlace at the CapitaLand model
    blocks provide different states of sun and gallery in Capital Tower
    shadow, with large water bodies provided
    for influencing the microclimate in the
    recreational spaces between the towers,
    improving the overall quality of comfort and
    experience.
