CapitaGreen
CapitaGreen, also known as Market Street Tower, is an office tower located in Raffles Place, Singapore. 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.
Architecture
The CapitaGreen building was designed to be "like a plant growing towards the sun", with a façade that incorporates living plants. The rooftop garden, known as the "Sky Forest", has 40 different kinds of tree and shrub. 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.
Awards
CapitaGreen won the 2015 CTBUH Skyscraper Award for Best Tall Building in the Asia and Australasia Region.
