The landscape design and layout for River Place was conceptualized as the meeting and intersection of two systems – the manmade urban infrastructure system of “clean-lines” merging with the organic natural system of the Singapore River’s “wave-lines”. Thus the landscape spaces are organized with organic water bodies taking fluid curvilinear forms through the buildings to physically connect spaces while paving and hardscape pattern lines run from the residential blocks to the river.
To enhance the ambience of living by the river, the main pool is cantilevered over the basement wall at the end of the site with the external river promenade conceptualized by Sitetectonix as a series of handicapped-friendly “frozen waves” flowing up and down the length of the site’s river frontage.
