Designed by Ole Scheeren, partner of OMA, The Interlace adopts a new residential typology which breaks away from the standard isolated, vertical apartment towers of Singapore.
The large-scale complex takes a more expansive and interconnected approach to living through communal spaces which are integrated into its lush surrounding greenbelt.
Thirty-one apartment blocks, each standing at six-storeys tall and identical in length,
are stacked in a hexagonal arrangement to form eight large open and permeable courtyards.

Developed by capitaland and hotel properties limited, the interlace covers 170,000m2 of gross floor area and will house 1,040 apartment units of varying sizes.
The design capitalizes on the generous size of the site which stretches between Singapore's Kent Ridge, Telok Blangah Hell and Mount Faber Parks, maximizing 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.
