Safdie Architects' New Works:
Prima Argie and The EDITION Singapore
Singapore's core urban area is an urban retreat
Safdie Architects' mixed-use mixed-use complexes – Primal Apartments and The EDITION Singapore – offer a tranquil retreat on Singapore's busiest shopping street on Orchard Road. The project combines a pair of 28-storey residential towers with the newly opened 204-room EDITION Hotel. Safdie Architects specialises in creating intimate residential projects in densely populated cities, with Prima Arcure and The EDITION Singapore being the latest additions. This is another innovative addition to Safdie Architects' contribution to Singapore, following the completion of landmark projects such as the Marina Bay Sands Hotel and Jewel Changi Airport.
The densely planted, sunken garden forms the inner courtyard, which serves as both a link between the hotel and the residential building, and a dividing line between the two. The hotel is surrounded by gardens on three sides, with views of the courtyard and landscaped terrace from the lobby, restaurant and bar on the ground floor. The lower floors of the meeting room, ballroom and speakeasy bar open onto the courtyard, allowing guests to move freely between indoor and outdoor settings and social scenes. To ensure the comfort and privacy of its guests, Safdie Architects designed and developed an outdoor façade system adapted to Singapore's tropical climate. Guests can control the lighting in the room by adjusting the outdoor color shading according to their needs through the control panel next to the bed. The different lighting preferences of the guests give the hotel an ever-changing façade.
