Ardmore Habitat Condominiums

  • CA CAC 58-1-293
  • Subseries
  • between 1980 and 1985
  • Part of Moshe Safdie

The Ardmore Habitat Condominiums are situated in the heart of downtown Singapore, adjacent to the famed Orchard Road. The project consists of two 17-story towers of vertically stacked terraced units. The project was constructed by Robin Loh Enterprises, shipbuilders and developers, with the objective of providing the amenities of Habitat '67 to a constricted downtown site zoned for vertical massing.

Both towers consist of alternating flat and two-story apartments, opening to a large outdoor garden. The two-story maisonettes are organized around an atrium, which extends to a large double-height external garden that serves as a visual and physical extension of the living area.

Sizeable roof terraces extend the living area of each unit, strengthening the vertical and horizontal spatial experience. On the exterior this interplay manifests as an alternating pattern of flats and maisonette units, creating a multidirectional façade. Terraces wrap the corners of the towers, further articulating the elements of solid and void.

The towers contain 61 middle income and luxury housing units, which are connected at ground level by landscaped recreation areas that include a swimming pool, squash courts, and gardens.

Atrium On The Plaza

  • CA CAC 58-1-251
  • Subseries
  • between 1978 and 1980
  • Part of Moshe Safdie

The name of this project was derived from its location, adjacent to a "plaza" shopping center outside of downtown Kansas City, and the design of the units which have as their focal point a two-story, 200 square foot glass enclosed atrium. The project is composed of forty luxury condominium units positioned on a steeply sloped site. Because of the slope, uphill units will have spectacular views over the roofs of the buildings below. In addition, the slope helps to enclose internal gardens and outdoor terraces which open directly from the atrium to afford more privacy for its residents. The highlighted enclosed atrium can be used as a green house or garden room extension of the living area, and also serves as a solar collector during the winter months. During the summer it is protected from overheating by a retractable exterior shade.
