London- and Madrid-based practice Daniel Statham Architects have designed a new facade for the City Development Land (CDL) headquarters in Singapore.Arranged in bands around the existing building, the facade creates new areas for balconies and gardens as well as shielding the glazing beneath from direct sunlight.The project is located in the Central Business District (CBD) of Singapore between Robinson Road and Cross Street.
The existing 24 storey office building is the Headquarters for Singapore’s largest property developer City Development Land (CDL). CDL created a competition to redesign the HQ and update the building to high international sustainability standards. The criteria for the project was to replace the existing facade and to provide innovative solutions to update the internal spaces within the building.
