Reflections at Keppel Bay is located on the southern part of Singapore. Just a stone’s throw across the sea from Keppel Bay is Sentosa island and the Mt Faber is located just across the road

The site plan is designed with the buildings harmoniously composed in lushly landscaped grounds to command the best views and to create a unique architectural and environmental experience.

Aerial view, transformation of an old shipyard into a vibrant live and play community

Aerial view, the design of Reflections at Keppel Bay created a landmark at Singapore’s southern city precinct even while safeguarding historical and permanent significant view corridors for neighbours living in its vicinity

A vision to retain and incorporate historically significant docks into the Keppel Bay master plan, cleaning up the land and waters in and around the precinct, reclaiming precious lands for some 3000 households and even creating anew a thriving marine ecosystem in the marina waters

Addressing issues of high-density design and construction sustainability, this lushly landscaped development transforms a former shipyard into a vibrant residential and leisure community. The sleek, gracefully curving buildings are all orientated differently, for a constantly changing perspective and to take advantage of spectacular views. Six high-rise towers, arranged in pairs connected by landscaped sky bridges, sport transparent steel crowns accented with greenery. Their triple-height lobbies have glass-based water features that admit light to the underground parking level. The crystalline-shaped clubhouse and gymnasium stand over a large reflecting pool, which is crisscrossed by walkways and platforms. Completing the scheme are 11 fan-shaped villa apartment blocks featuring glazed bay windows and contrasting metal wall surfaces.The series of high-rise undulating towers is the focal point of this project. The design is composed of two distinct typologies of housing; the lower Villa blocks along the water front and the high-rise towers which overlook them set just behind. The artful composition of ever shifting building orientations, along with the differing building typologies, creates an airy, light-filled grouping of short and tall structures.

In 2008 the site received the Singapore Building and Construction Authority's Green Mark Award for the integration of features such a underground rainwater collection, filtration and recycling for landscape irrigation; the use of landscaping and sky gardens in climate control; skylights and energy efficient lighting, and other solar energy features.
