South Beach Development Singapore Scheduled for completion in 2016, this project will feature 2 towers – 45 and 42 storeys tall Designed to exemplify Singapore’s ideal of a ‘city in a garden’, South Beach’s central feature is a ribbonlike and lightweight canopy that is inspired by the natural form and function of a tree. The 280m-long canopy floats across the entire development to filter sunlight, solar glare and channel wind breezes into the public spaces.
