North Gaia

North Gaia located next to the Khatib Bongsu River, enjoys a commanding view of the 40-hectare Khatib Bongsu Nature Reserve at the northeast, a rich mangrove and mudflat habitat on the northeastern coast of Singapore as well as open fields with no developments beyond it at the southeast. North Gaia’s architectural facade designs are inspired by the mangrove plants that are found in the nearby Khatib Bongsu environment. Mangrove root profiles and shapes are translated to a more abstract figure to create the architectural form, and at the same time with this architecture form – a simple and timeless language can be achieved.
