  • CapitaSpring by Bjarke Ingels Group
    Not only is this one of the tallest towers in Singapore, but it also honors the natural world and the history of the city around it.

    The CapitaSpring building is a new addition to the Singapore skyline. There are apartments and sky gardens throughout the building, all the way up to the 51st floor.

    It is called a biophilic skyscraper, according to Tan Yew Chin, CEO of CLD, CapitaLand Development, the owning company.

    The base of the tower houses the City Room, which is 59 feet tall. Meandering paths take visitors to the room and into separate lobbies.

    The paths also lead toward dining and shopping areas, particularly the Market Street Hawker Center.

    On the ground level entrance, part of the historic Market Street has been restored and the landscaping area has been expanded, creating new green breathing spaces.

    Four connected levels at the heart of the building create the "green oasis," an open-air garden area.

    Meanwhile, the rooftop garden is home to the tallest urban farm in Singapore…for now, anyways.
