Designed by internationally-acclaimed architecture firm, Toyo Ito & Associates, CapitaGreen is a break away from conventional office building design and reintroducing lush greenery to Singapore’s CBD.
This is articulated through the use of extensive sky gardens on three levels and Sky Forest on the roof, which forms part of a unique air circulatory system that Arup designed.
Installed with a wind scoop, the air circulatory system, much like that of a living plant’s, draws cool air from the sky forest where tropical trees are planted. The air is then delivered through the ‘Inner Tube’, an empty central core, to each floor. Overall energy consumption is significantly lowered as a result.
Each floor features generous 3.2m floor-to-ceiling heights providing uninterrupted views of Marina Bay and the rest of the CBD. A double glazed facade system reduces solar heat gain, while an accompanying green façade behind it is designed to lower surface temperature, diffuse sunlight and provide beautiful dappled natural light into the building. The result is a well-lit and cool indoor environment for tenants and visitors.
