Lucasfilm’s Singapore Headquarters is a narrow
V-shaped building, enveloped by a glass skin that resonates with
mythological aesthetics of the famous movie franchise. The sleek
elevations facing the streets shelter a lush garden space situated at
the center of the site. The public garden reveals the building’s inside
as a vibrant environment, with its terraces overgrown with foliage, the
timber and natural stone paving. Architects at Aedas designed an office building that will also assume the appearance of a movie inspired ecosystem.
The new facility will hold offices for nearly every division of
Lucasfilm, including the movie studio itself, video game developer
LucasArts, Lucasfilm Animation, and Lucasfilm Television. It’s an
eight-storey complex that will house a state-of-the-art theater,
which can be used for screenings, premieres or other events. Next to
the theater will be a conference wing for use by LucasFilm or other
offices.
The envelope structure comprises a low-iron glass layer and a second
metallic-frit dot layer underneath, achieving a high degree of
reflectivity, while allowing for daylight to reach into the offices
without soaking up solar heat gain. The interior courtyard is more
private and uses clear low-iron glass for a maximum utilization of
natural lighting.
