One Marina Boulevard
An expression of civic engagement
One Marina Boulevard is conceived as a gateway to Singapore’s new downtown, serving as headquarters to the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and as an office space for multi-national corporations and local companies. The 32-storey building is sited at the edge of the city’s financial district and adjacent to the public promenade that lines Marina Bay.
As a testament to the enduring economic benefits of the tripartite compact between the NTUC, the employers and the government, the architects sought to attain a high degree of transparency and connectivity with the public spaces of the surrounding downtown, an expression of the programme’s civic nature.
Details
The facade emphasises verticality by means of articulated linear fins, a characteristic accentuated by structural columns revealed at the terrace voids.
Formally, the block tower is punctured on three of the building’s elevations by communal sky terraces.
To complement the open circulation at ground level, the granite-and-green glass façade above is given a high level of transparency to provide views of activities within.
The internal programme organisation is layered into two stacked zones: the lower zone consists of the NTUC offices and shared facilities including a 600-seat auditorium, meeting rooms, retail space, and a multi-storey carpark. The upper zone begins at level 16, where floor plates are divided into two column-free office spaces joined by a central services core.
