Start at One Raffles Place Tower 1.
"One Raffles Place Tower 1" is said to be a monumental building in Singapore's financial center. Completed in 1986. Designed by Kenzo Tange, it was the tallest building in Asia at the time, standing at 60 stories. President Ishino looks back on those days and says: “What we always think about is to think about the surrounding environment when designing a building, incorporate a method of revitalizing it into a project, and create a space where the entire city can be enriched and where people can live actively. This idea is also strongly reflected in the project." Ishino continued to talk about what exactly it means. “Nowadays, this area has developed into a hub for business in Singapore, but in the early 1980s, development had not progressed. That is why Kenzo Tange aimed to create a building that attracts people and the bustle of people becomes a city, connecting the Singapore River and the historically important Raffles Place to create a flow of people. I incorporated it into the plan.I proposed a large public space on the first floor that people could walk through.I think it was an idea that the client never thought of, but as a result, it was bustling with people. It led to the birth of the building, and it became a landmark building in the city.”
Inheriting the will and designing the present.
Then, in the 21st century, a design request for "One Raffles Place Tower 2" was received on the site next to "One Raffles Place Tower 1". Noritaka Tange was in charge of the design. The works of two generations of parents and children will be lined up. Fishing of the design department says. “What Noritaka Tange came up with was to create a design that incorporates modernity while striking a balance with the 280-meter tall Tower 1, which has already become a landmark of the city. There were many considerations.” Of all the things that bothered the staff the most, it was the problem of balance. President Ishino says. “Since the site of Tower 2 was smaller than Tower 1, the area could only be made less than half the height of Tower 1 based on the floor area ratio stipulated in the city planning. Tange City From the perspective of urban design, which is important for architectural design, balance is important in building design.Even if the site area is small, we must think of some way to create a well-balanced building. Design is about finding the best way to overcome challenges, no matter how difficult the situation may be.”
Numerous attempts to keep balance.
The members in charge of the design consulted with the City Planning Department of Singapore. Regarding the future of Singapore, Ishino says that the City Planning Department, which controls urban design, was willing to cooperate with good proposals. “As was the case with One Raffles Place Tower 1, the City Planning Department of Singapore is very cooperative with forward-looking proposals. Therefore, the balance between these two buildings is also very important from the perspective of urban design. Through repeated discussions, we came up with a way to increase the volume.One of them was to share the site with 'One Raffles Place Tower 1', so that 'Tower 1' could be used up. The plan is to use the unused area for Tower 2. In addition, there are methods in Singapore called "Lighting Incentives" and "Art Incentives" to increase architectural volume.Buildings that use lighting effectively and are excellent in public nature It is a system that allows you to increase the volume as a bonus for buildings that actively adopt such art.By actively adopting such a method to increase the volume of the building, we were able to secure a height that somehow maintains the balance.
Modernity in design.
"One Raffles Place Tower 2" cannot be said to be a large building compared to "Tower 1", but Ishino says that it is designed to feel the expanse of the Singapore River from the room. “While using a triangular motif, I wanted to create a sense of transparency by using a lot of glass and a sense of exhilaration by reflecting the sky. I aimed for a space that is open to all.” The attitude of designing with modernity while inheriting the will of Kenzo Tange is also reflected in the interior design. Ishida, who is in charge of interior design, says: “Since it will eventually be connected to Tower 1, the design must not be completely different, but if it is the same, it will not be relevant to the times or fresh. As a result, the basic concept was based on the spatial concept of 'ZEN', and the materials, colors, and lighting were carefully selected in consideration of the balance with 'Tower 1'. Also, I actively incorporated art, such as asking Hiroshi Senju to create a “waterfall.” In that “waterfall,” when you enter a building, you can see water and hear the sound of water. I think people coming in from the hot outdoors will feel refreshed.”

Ishida says that "One Raffles Place Tower 2" was designed in consideration of the balance with "One Raffles Place Tower 1", but on the contrary, "Tower 1" has evolved due to the creation of "Tower 2". . “We have renewed the design of the lobby of Tower 1. As I said earlier, when I thought about what Kenzo Tange would do, I thought he would protect what should be protected, and modify what needs to be modified. I thought, "The lobby is the place where most people come and go. I decided that it would be better to modify this space to add modernity." Adding new value while inheriting the past. Ishino says that such an attitude is the DNA of Tange Associates. “At Tange Associates, we have a tradition of answering ‘next one’ when asked what the best piece of work is. This is exactly the case with this project. Even when renovating, we review the thinking behind the building at the time of its construction, and then think about how to pass it on and update it to the next generation. "Tower 1 and Tower 2 are examples of buildings that embody the concept of 'Tange DNA + '."
