MARTIN MODERN, SINGAPORE ADDP ARCHITECTS
ADDP Architects has unveiled the design for Martin Modern, an “oasis” centred around two, 30-storey towers in Singapore. With 15 gardens and lawns, the design “upholds the highest standards of sustainable architecture,” said the architects. Standing on a 1.6 hectare plot, Martin Modern is surrounded by gardens designed by landscape architect ICN Design International. The structures are limited to a 20% of the site footprint, creating more space for greenery and access to nature. The project includes an aquatic garden and ‘bio-pond’ located between the two towers, along with “secret gardens’’ on the rooftop of each building. Designed by ADDP in collaboration with ipli Architects, Martin Modern’s tower blocks are oriented to allow for unobstructed views toward the internal landscaped space, while the higher floors provide a distant view of Singapore’s Marina Bay. Within each unit, generous window heights promote air ventilation, while private enclosed spaces (PES) and balconies allow for an extension of indoor-to-outdoor living space and a “seamless residential environment.” Energy efficient air-conditioning, lighting and water systems are incorporated into all units and common areas.
ILOT QUEYRIES, BORDEAUX, FRANCE MVRDV
MVRDV has completed a “courtyard apartment building” in Bordeaux, providing 282 homes, including 128 for social housing. Part of a new neighbourhood of four buildings – designed alongside Joubert Architecture and Flint – the design completely occupies the site. The roofs are arranged into what the architects call “carefully calibrated slopes” to provide maximum ventilation, daylight, and sunlight, resulting in a large, irregularly shaped courtyard building almost 200 metres long. These slopes create interior spaces, which help to define varied apartments in a wide range of sizes. At 5,200 m2
, the large courtyard provides a
EAST THIERS STATION, NICE MDI ARCHITECTURE
MDI Architecture said it is “set to bring to life the interior of the 6,000 m2 €100m East Thiers Station in
Nice.” Designed by Daniel Libeskind, the interior design also includes Agilité Solutions, Zatti Interiors, and ESA Engineering as partners. Once complete, the building will house the new headquarters of Hilton Hotels, and the offices of estate agent Les Agences de Papa. Inspired by “technological innovation and modernity, with a strong focus on eco-sustainability,” the project – which is set for completion in July 2022 – will include flexible spaces designed to foster collaboration, commented the architects. It also includes a rooftop dedicated to recording podcasts as well as other business communications. The 6,000 m2
project forms part of a wider 20,000 m2 development – set to include high-end
commercial space that will feature two levels of shops, a 120 room hotel, offices, a “sculptural” entry pavilion, a 200-seat auditorium, and a restaurant plus an open roof terrace with views towards the sea.
“park-like space” for the residents. Located one storey above ground level, it also hides parking below. At its highest, the building rises as tall as nine storeys and at this point, a glass crown houses a restaurant. On all sides, the facades facing the street are lower than those facing the central courtyard. The project’s street-facing facades present a “muted, cream-coloured palette,” blending in with the surroundings, where the courtyard-facing facades are finished in a bright red, textured stucco. Large portals through the building connect the interior courtyard to the outside, introducing “flashes of colour.”
