ARBORESCENCE APARTMENTS
A TREE-INSPIRED VISION FOR INTERGENERATIONAL LIVING
Arborescence is part of our research approach to integrating greenery with well-being. The 35-metrehigh vertical garden is designed through an open call for the“ IMAGINE ANGERS” competition. The building exemplifies how architecture can be reimagined to connect nature with the urban environment, and from the Maine River to the city centre. Thereby, serving as a distinctive landmark for the horticultural capital. Leveraging our France-Singapore culture, Arborescence distinguishes herself with the abundance of greenery present throughout all levels of the project. The orientation of the building ensures that each living space benefits from generous natural light, cross-ventilation, and unobstructed views for an environment that advocates for well-being.
In the same vein, an intergenerational strategy guides the overarching programming narrative of the development. Different walks of life including preschoolers, working adults, and seniors converge at a shared central garden. Accessible to all during the day, the garden transforms into a vibrant exchange hub between generational groups to strengthen social links and nurture empathy. Similarly, bioclimatic efforts are bolstered through green roofs and terraces for thermal insulation, strategies reducing environmental impacts and promoting biodiversity while addressing urban density challenges. In embodiment of an innovative and integrative approach, Arborescence presents a holistic sustainable solution that connects Nature, People and the urban environment.
BIOPHILIC ARCHITECTURE- Biophilia, a concept that places nature at the heart of well-being, is the very essence of Arborescence. Its biophilic architecture integrates greenery and natural light at every level, creating a harmonious balance between people and their surroundings. Green outdoor spaces and breathtaking terrace views foster a stress-free and positive atmosphere. By reconnecting people with nature, Arborescence reimagines healthy living environment for modern well-being needs in an urban context. WELL-BEING- Well-being is central to the architectural ensemble of Arborescence, from its fluid geometry to its abundant greenery. At its green heart stands the towering‘ Tree of Life,’ which
