^Hmm.
Not totally unlike Aurora Place in Sydney from that angle.

[RafflesCity]

yah I'm guessing what the final colour of the building will be as renderings can be deceptive.

anyway here the website for the project with some cool renderings:

Been a while since my last update here.

Structure is now about 4-storeys above ground for both towers.

(1) I love this project.

(2) I know you Singaporeans probably get tired of the question, but is it likely that the 280m height cap will remain ?

[NEWNANGuy]

oooh i like this!!

[RafflesCity]

(1) I love this project.

No idea on that.

This model shows an idea of how the skyline of the future could look like.

[ZZ-II]

wow, it has risen a lot since the last update, thank you raffles city :)

[colemonkee]

According to my count, they seem to be approaching the halfway point on the number of floors.

[R@ptor]

It's really moving fast now. But couldn't they come up with a different cladding color? Almost every new building in Marina Bay is going to have a dark green cladding.

[RafflesCity]

The cladding of the Sail would be more bluish than greenish though...a huge visual relief to the cluster of green.

Another cluster of glass skyscrapers will be emerging to the left of the Sail...I hope they would be more bluish too.

Great looking buildings.

[djvandrake]

Yes, a beautiful design. The buildings are very complimentary to eachother and the skyline.

[Sol_Invictus]

Agreed. Curvy, sleek, and matches the skyline and environment (water, etc).

Thanks for the pics RafflesCity. Looks like this project is coming right along. The towers look about 200 m or so in these pics. I really like the cladding on these towers.

[Hayward]

This project is looking great. I love the design.

[Patrick]

WOW I'm loving the Singapore Skyline, so clean, modern, diverse, and compact! Defantly goes down as one of my favorite skylines!

As for the towers, they look GREAT, simple but great. cant wait to see when they are finished.

Oh my god. What a beautiful set of towers. If this was being built in Chicago it would have gotten 2 whole threads already. That first pic is amazing. I didn't think it was that close to Downtown but it's in it. And it's come a long way since I first heard about it.

I think it's time for more photos. Also, I still see cranes on the pictures but soon enough it'll have to be moved to the completed sub-forum.

[Phil McAvity]

^Completely agree! Were these two striking towers built in a big American city like Chicago, this thread would be 80 pages long instead of 3.

We need more pics!

Incredible. These, along with the Safdie project are adding an entirely new dimension to the skyline.

[Lecom]

Dramatic.

[tayser]

^ Sing does it very well. The corporate / show pony architecture is top notch.

[R@ptor]

I just returned from a 7.5 week trip through Southeast Asia (Vietnam / Thailand / Laos / Cambodia / Malaysia / Singapore) and of course I took thousands of photos including lots of construction updates in cities like Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Seeing as Singapore was the last city I've visited I will start with those photos.

Photos were all taken within the last 4 days.

Welcome back, R@ptor. I hope you had a great trip! How did you like Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos? Great places!

I just booked a ticket CPH-BKK due 2nd of October (only staying 12 days though). Can't wait! :)

Designed by Seattle's own NBBJ. From the waterfront they look so wide but from other angles they look so thin. Should the thread be moved to completed highrises now?

I had a great trip indeed, especially Vietnam and Laos are absolutely fantastic places to travel in and it certainly won't be my last visit there. Lots of interesting cities, awesome landscapes and unique cultures. In Cambodia I only spent 2.5 days in Angkor Wat, but I will certainly be back someday.

If you are interested here's a map with the route I took and the places I visited: http://www.jochenhertweck.com/upload/2008_route.jpg

Expect a preview with about 100-200 photos in the next couple of days.

[staff]

Thanks for the map. Some amazing stuff to see and do along that route.
Looking forward to more pics!
