Architect Ole Scheeren was so bored with the clusters of high-rise buildings that were springing up all over Asia, that when he got a brief to fit 1,040 units over 20 acres, he decided to try a novel approach.
The result is a kind of deconstructed high-rise – complete with Olympic-sized swimming pool and a thoughtful amount of greenery – that Scheeren believes is a prototype for affordable living.
He is proud that the Interlace is 90% occupied, “unlike many upscale towers that have become ghost towns because apartments are bought for speculation and sit empty.”
Many who visit the location have attested to the exceptional prowess of the designer. Nice one!
