Older, iconic buildings in Singapore can be useful in todays' society. All it takes is forward thinking, and brave politicians to change outdated laws. This page was intended to become a platform for introducing new ideas for older buildings, regardless of current plot ratios, building control heights or other hindrances on creativity. The images on this page are 100% fantasy. Send us your ideas - we will add them here
pearlbankapartments.com is honored to include a sketch by Mr. Tan Cheng Siong, the architect of pearlbank - offering his take on an extension to the property, increasing the density of this inner city site to a level never before seen in Singapore. We challenge URA to re-zone this property so that the original tower remains - restored, and allowing a developer to seek gains : a win-win situation for all. |

Pearlbank with a new studio tower wing added in place of the under-used carpark. Original tower restored to 1970's condition, but clad with gleaming white metal panels. The opposing new tower block is clad with photo-voltaic glass to energize all common corridor lighting, as most of the facade faces directly west.
Pearlbank with curved white metal panels suspended in front of the existing facade to form a new layer - masking aircon units and placing the miss-matched windows into shadow to minimize the effects of their various colors and designs. above visual : copyright | Ed Poole AIA, with permissions
