Raffles City

Location: Singapore City, Singapore

Upon completion, Raffles City was the largest private commercial development in Southeast Asia with the tallest building in the Far East, the world’s tallest hotel, facilitated by the largest continuous concrete pour ever attempted and numerous other structural and construction innovations.

The complex includes a 42-story office tower, a 1,200-room, 72-story tourist hotel and a more exclusive hotel with 800 guest rooms in two angled 28-story towers. All components are interconnected and rise from a seven-story podium housing a major shopping center, health/sports, and convention facilities.

Like a piece of monumental sculpture, the tall, camshaped tower mysteriously changes profile, appearing curved or orthogonal from different perspectives, physically expressing the change and activity characteristic of modern Singapore.
