Project Details
Environmentally sustainable design strategies
The office tower in one north brings abundant natural daylight and offers workers views of the surroundings. Solaris was the first in Singapore to exceed a green plot ratio by more than 11—the number of times the development’s areas occupied by greenery is more than its site. Such a high density was attained through various green features, including a 1.5-kilometre spiral terrace garden that runs from the basement of the 15 storey tower to its rooftop.
Various environmentally sustainable design strategies, such as a cloak of louvres to help greenery thrive while reducing solar heat gain, rain sensors, as well as a large skywell to maximise natural light and ventilation created an open and welcoming working environment while optimising energy efficiency.
