CapitaGreen, also known as Market Street Tower, is an office tower located in Raffles Place, Singapore. [1] The building was designed by Toyo Ito and completed in 2014. With a height of 245 m (804 ft), it is one of the tallest skyscrapers in Singapore. [1] [3]
Architecture
The CapitaGreen building was designed to be "like a plant growing towards the sun", with a façade that incorporates living plants. [3] [4] The rooftop garden, known as the "Sky Forest", has 40 different kinds of tree and shrub. [4] The rooftop garden features a 45m-high (150ft) windcatcher structure, designed to look like flower petals, that captures cool fresh air and channels it into the office floors. [3] [4]
Awards
CapitaGreen won the 2015 CTBUH Skyscraper Award for Best Tall Building in the Asia and Australasia Region. [3]
