The Interlace Vertical Village Apartment Complex in Singapore by Ole Scheeren

Architect Ole Scheeren was commissioned to design 1,040 apartment units over 20 acres in Singapore. The result is an awe-inspiring radical reinterpretation of contemporary life in a community.

Instead of the conventional high rises, Scheeren created 31 apartment blocks, each six stories tall, stacked in a hexagonal arrangement around eight generous courtyards. The contemporary village has a variety of public amenities interwoven into the landscape including an Olympic-sized swimming pool, tennis courts and barbeque areas.
