Pininfarina and far east organization have debuted a towering condominium in singapore that synthesizes the elegant lines of luxury automotive design with the sleek masses of an architectural form. the first iteration of the italian car designers' foray into both interior and exterior architecture is a 104 unit residential tower, 102 meter high-rise that reframes the language of supercar design into two sculpted complementary forms.
The building is fundamentally about the movement of lines-- both in the shaping of singapore's skyline and in the creation of two formal typologies of built space. a red tower shapes the urban block with fluid, sinuous built volumes, while a black tower uses orthogonality and faceting to express speed and strength. the dynanism of the exterior is met with a warm interior palette of wood that articulates balconies and sky terraces. ventilation openings in the balconies become an artfully blended gradient or composition of nervous lines that reference the air intakes of car bodies. individual units, while customizable, orchestrate light over a composition of wood and leather surfaces.
