버티컬 빌리지, 자연과의 교감의 방향성을 제시하다.
싱가폴에 새롭게 제안되는 공동주거 프로젝트는 38층 높이의 고밀도 복합주거 공간으로
싱가폴을 대표하는 어반하우징 타입폴로지로 제안된다.
고밀집 공동주거의 필요선택인 고층은 주거환경과 자연과의 교감대를
이격시키며 삶의 질을 떨어 뜨리는 결과를 초래한다.
여기 공동주거 프로젝트는 이러한 외부환경을 하부층 단위유닛의 다양한 조합, 구성으로
발생하는 상하부의 잉여공간을 상층부의 테라스로 사용하며 효과적으로 풀어 낸다.
여기에 각각 주거만의 프라빗 발코니 또한 제공된다.
그리고 또한 주변 경치를 감상 할 수 있는 뷰 포인트를 확보하도록 각 주거유닛은
동간거리를 유지하며 배치된다. 버티컬 빌리지는 그렇게
새로운 자연교감형 공동주거로 만들어 진다.

safdie architects, led by renown israeli-canadian architect moshe safdie, have continued a decades-long series of structures that appropriate the nestled forms of fractal geometry in built space-- this time in form of a 'sky habitat' for singapore. the 38-story sky habitat housing complex is representative of high-density, high- rise upper-middle-income urban housing, a typology that is in great demand in singapore and other asian cities. the prevailing designs for such housing have been towers that share common amenities on the ground level. shared spaces manifest in form of generous community gardens and outdoor spaces on the ground and in the air, as well as individual roof terraces and gardens for more than half of the individual residences.
instead of independent towers, the design for sky habitat proposes a singular, interconnected clustering of terraced apartments with lush garden spaces.
the overall mass is porous and open for air and light, with the air to
breeze through and the light to penetrate. this maximizes views for
families and for the community spaces, resulting in a more humane and
delicate urban fabric than is usual in the traditional apartment
building. the structure is highly rationalized, affording
cross-ventilation and multiple exposures to every unit. it is
well-adapted to maximizing air movement in singapore’s tropical climate.
at the ground plane, above a sunken parking podium, 72 percent of the
site is developed into a series of lush gardens, outdoor event rooms,
swimming pools, and walking paths.while mitigating a sense of density
and concentration and maximizing contact with nature, the complex also
results in a village-like clustering of residential units, echoing
hillside developments and the integration of architecture and plant life
into a singular experience.
