Keppel unveils spectacular seafront homes in architect Daniel Libeskind's first Asian residential show piece
Reflections at Keppel Bay presents the new face to world-class waterfront living with its stunning architecture by master architect Daniel Libeskind.
A symphony of six glass towers and 11 villa apartment blocks will house 1,160 luxury homes along a 750-m shoreline, all of which enjoy unparalleled views of the waterfront, golf course and lush surrounds. The towers are of 24-storey to 41-storey heights while the villa blocks range from six-storeys to eight-storeys.
Combining heroic forms and classical elegance, the towers rise spontaneously as 'beacons of light' at the gateway of Singapore's southern waterfront hub comprising Keppel Bay, Harbourfront and Sentosa.
The towers are crowned with lush sky gardens on sloping rooflines, and are linked by sky bridges, providing pockets of open spaces and platforms with near 360-degree views of the spectacular surrounds.
Mr Teo Soon Hoe, Keppel Corporation's Senior Executive Director and Group Finance Director said, "Singapore's southern waterfront hub is undergoing rapid and dramatic change, with focus on the multi-billion dollar Sentosa Integrated Resort as well as the government's plans to develop the Southern Islands into a premium resort. These developments underscore the value and appeal of this waterfront precinct in the international arena.
"As the sole developer of Keppel Bay, the Keppel Group is committed to growing the value of this precinct in the long term, and what we envision is no less than a world-class precinct that will make Singapore the world destination for premier waterfront living.
"Reflections at Keppel Bay, optimising its distinctive strengths and integrating fully with its surroundings, will be a stunning contribution to the renewal of Singapore's southern skyline. It will complement key developments in this vicinity to create a thriving waterfront lifestyle hub in Singapore.
"Libeskind's signature at Keppel Bay presents a breakthrough in the design of residential developments in Asia as it raises the bar for waterfront homes worldwide."
Keppel Bay is set to put Singapore on the world's prime real estate map as a true waterfront precinct comprising the office development Keppel Bay Tower; Reflections at Keppel Bay; the FIABCI-award winning condominium, Caribbean at Keppel Bay; a world-class marina, Marina@ Keppel Bay ; future developments including very exclusive residences on Keppel Island and a new landmark cable-stayed bridge linking the mainland to Keppel Island.
Keppel Bay enjoys the rare confluence of location strengths - of being near the city yet within one of Singapore's best-loved nature and recreation enclaves surrounded by Vivo City; Sentosa and its Integrated Resort; Keppel Golf Club, as well as Labrador and Telok Blangah Hill parks.
Towering this waterfront precinct, the high rise units within Reflections at Keppel Bay will command a panoramic view of Singapore's southern coast, the Central Business District as well as Mount Faber.
The apartment sizes range from 732 sf studio apartments to a 12,900 sf five-bedroom super penthouse.
Reflections at Keppel Bay will also showcase stunning water features such as a 100,000 sf reflecting pool, which brings the waters right to the doorsteps of the apartments.
In conjunction with the showcase of Reflections at Keppel Bay, Keppel together with the Singapore Art Museum is presenting Beside, Between, Beyond: Daniel Libeskind's Reflections and Key Works, 1989-2014, an exhibition highlighting some of the master architect's most celebrated works spanning some 25 years across the world.
Of this joint effort with the Museum, Mr Lim Chee Onn, Executive Chairman of Keppel Corporation and Emeritus Chairman of National Heritage Board said, "Indeed, for us in Keppel, Reflections at Keppel Bay is living art at its finest. Crafted by architect Daniel Libeskind, Reflections is Daniel's first residential masterpiece in Asia.
"In my view, his creative intervention has frequently redefined urban landscapes around the world, and his works have very often provoked deep thought and reflection, and I might add, including the icon at Keppel Bay. Most definitely, he has impacted communities, injecting excitement, vibrancy, awe and pride in place of the conventional as well as the drab and dreary."
