the newton suite project of this high-rise apartment in an established area was designed
in 2003 and scheduled for completion in 2007. the 36 storey tower incorporates 118 apartments
with views towards the verdant bukit timah nature reserve and the city skyline.
singaporean architects WOHA created these living spaces with attention to detail,
proportions and scale, ensuring that the building is a comfortable and efficient living space.
a studied randomness adds a dimension of spontaneity and playfulness to the building’s
design and common areas that make them at once friendly and aesthetic.

the architecture and landscape merge seamlessly, integrating living spaces into the flowing
foliage of the sky gardens. the elegant profile of the building is a mature and stylish addition
to the skyline.

with its skygardens and full-height green wall (the tallest continual green wall in the world?)
was recognized as a finalist in the 2008 CTBUH - council on tall building and urban
habitat - awards for the asia and australasia category and continues the bravery of urban
and architectural experimentation that is evident everywhere in singapore.
