Interlace ‘Vertical Village’

Dubbed as a ‘vertical village’ by the architect Ole Scheeren, The Interlace does seem to live up to its name. I spent a couple of days wondering around this ‘village’ photographing it for Landscape Architects ICN Design International Pte Ltd.

I was concentrating on capturing the landscape scheme and trying to put it all into context but the actual building form is so overwhelming that I found myself creating images of the architecture instead. It was a real challenge to stick to the brief. I only wish I had had a few more days to fully capture the whole site. Here are a few images from the shoot.

Update Nov 2015:  This building has won the World Architecture festival 2015 Building Of The Year.

Resorts World Sentosa

My final project for my Singapore trip and client was Resorts World Sentosa.  I was shooting for Landscape Architects ICN Design International Pte Ltd again and had to focus on the landscaping and people using the spaces.  I had to make repeat visits to try and capture people in the shots due to the crowds being very sporadic and the place looked very barren without them.  Below are a few shots of this weird and wonderful place.

Goodwood Residences

I was commissioned to photograph Goodwood Residences for Landscape Architects ICN Design International Pte Ltd on a recent trip to Singapore.

The residences are spread over 2.5 hectares which border Goodwood Hill, a tree conservation area and the very busy Bukit Timah Road . By the clever design the main recreation area called the ‘The grand Lawn’ is sheltered from the busy road and therefore creates a relaxing environment for the tenants to enjoy the facilities and views into the tree reserve.

I was required to capture images of the landscaping only but also to capture the wider context of the planting and water features. It was a great project to photograph but couldn’t help thinking about having a swim in the pool the whole time I was there. I also had my complete setup (17mm Tiltshift Lens, camera body, tripod head and tripod) topple over onto the slate floor. Luckily the tripod head took the majority of the impact and both camera and lens were ok. A big relief!!
