The Interlace
In Singapore, a large-scale residential development designed by OMA/Ole Scheeren, is an extensive network of private and shared spaces in radical reinterpretation of contemporary life in a community.

By stacking the apartment blocks, the design generates a multiplication of horizontal surfaces populated by extensive roof gardens and landscaped terraces that in aggregate provide 112% green area more than the size of the unbuilt site.
