1st Runner Up : Newton Suites, Singapore (UOL Group Limited)
This 36-storey development is a study in environmental solutions to high-rise living that adopts a variety of issues to control the climate in a passive way for tropical living conditions, such as vertical green walls and protruding large balconies. The design integrates several sustainable devices, such as sunshading elements and creeper screens, into a contemporary architectural composition, creating a sustainable, contemporary addition to the city skyline. Newton Suites represents a refinement of vertical living in dense metropolitan cities that keeps the quality of the surrounding environment high and refreshing and can be seen as a role model for other tropical cities.
