Odeon Towers Office Building

Singapore
1992

The 23-Storey tower is a tribute to intelligent and buildable design.

Sited in the fringe of the civic and cultural district, the tower exploits the best views of the city by spanning the full width of the site.  The column free space wraps around the core on three sides thereby offering an uninterrupted vista for its occupants as well as liberating the office space.

By setting back the office building from the street frontage, a forecourt is created.  This urban space is defined by a concrete and glass arcade which frames up various vantage views.

A single modular grid of 1.3 meters is observed effectively by most building components allowing an uncomplicated and rapid construction process using well designed prefabrication members. Its ingenious modular coordination and standardization systems won a Certificate of Merit at the CIDB's Best Buildable Design Awards in 1992.
