zaha hadid‘s first condominum design in singapore, ‘d’leedon‘, is under construction. while the site of the former farrer court is expansive, the towers themselves occupy only 30% of the available land- a testament to the spatial efficiency of vertical building. the seven high-density structures are 36 storeys each, and work alongside 12 villas and 8 retail spaces. the 1700+ possible occupants are expected to make use of the lush greenery covering 70% of a site comprised of curved steps and soaring landscape forms. these terraced plateaus maximize the amount of communal spaces available which, aside from spas, gyms and pools, include a series of gardens organized around themes like scent, kinetics, mazes, chess, sculpture and hanging plants.

views of the greenery continue into the building given its strategic placement to bukit timah nature reserve and botanic gardens. conceptually, the architecture expresses components of mountain ecosystems and their singular ambiance. seamless lines evoke aqueous movement, the strata of rocks and hills, and the sensuous textures of meadows. the curves of these environments are further abstracted into the vertical undulations that soar well past the horizon line and puncture the air with a sinuous gesture.
