The triangular form of the OUB Centre (Tower 1) has become a familiar landmark in Singapore, so the new Annexe (Tower 2) needs to have design continuity with Tower 1. Therefore, the design for Tower 2 has been inspired by the ‘Triangle Motif’ generated by Tower 1 which, taken together, forms a coherent whole to produce a stunning and long lasting impression.
Due to its ‘solid’ aluminum façade, Tower 1 creates a powerful presence, simple and strong. In contrast, Tower 2 has a delicate glass impression. The façade treatment of the proposed Tower 2 needs to be deferential to the aluminum façade of Tower 1. If it were to be of stone, it would dominate and clash with the solidity of Tower 1; due to its transparency, glass is therefore an addition, this allows the Towers’ riverside location on the Singapore River to optimize views out during the day and in the evening the building’s façade will light up the sky of the CBD District.
