Keppel South Central
Singapore
The success of buildings—and people—is often measured by their performance. But the environments where we live and work should also support the health of our bodies and brains, not to mention that of the planet. NBBJ created a vision, master plan and concept for the 32-story Keppel South Central mixed-use development, which marries distinct architecture with a focus on sustainability and energy efficiency. The resulting design represents the future of work, reimagining the office typology through restorative spaces and connection to nature, fresh air, and opportunities for social interaction.
Located at the intersection of three diverse neighborhoods—Chinatown, Everton Park and Tanjong Pagar—the development serves as a nexus, with a large public plaza that acts as the social heart of the project. The design features a mix of traditional office floors, alternative workspaces and public amenities such as cafes, restaurants, sky terraces and health and wellbeing facilities, blurring indoors and outdoors to create an atmosphere that is conducive to innovation, creativity and well-being. When completed, the development will serve as a visual landmark for the district’s skyline, as well as a central place for tenants and the community to meet and gather with its many street-level public amenity spaces.
Features
The curtain wall doubles as an airy canopy, allowing the building's occupants to enjoy nature while protecting them from the often hot, humid and wet weather. Residual air from the building’s HVAC system is channeled to the outdoor public spaces, which further enhances comfort under the veil.
