A design submitted by world-renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, in collaboration with Koichi Takada Architects, has been chosen as the latest addition to Crown Group’s Waterloo development.

Forming part of a five-building development in Waterloo which also includes three buildings designed exclusively by Koichi Takada Architects and a building designed by Sydney-based architects Silvester Fuller, the 19-storey tower will feature a cantilevered infinity-edge rooftop pool, gym and community room with a plant-filled, green exterior designed to emulate a stacked forest.

“The upper volume of the tower seamlessly transforms into the lower part of the stepped terraces in order to create an intimacy between the building scale on the street level,” says Kuma.

“Eaves wrapping the façade becomes a vertical urban forest by having vegetation on each eave. These strategies will blur and soften the profile building, and give a whole new image of the W48 precinct of Waterloo.”

Renowned for his designs which show respect for tradition while considering the needs of the future, Kengo Kuma recently designed the 2020 Olympic Stadium Tokyo and the internationally acclaimed V&A museum in Dundee, Scotland.
