Midtown Modern: Nature In The City
In a neighbourhood teeming with skyscrapers of glass and concrete, the warm tones of Midtown Modern’s twin residential towers stand out from the pack. Its tactile, down-to-earth construction promises a cosy garden home within. Indoors, rustic stone and masonry await amidst a forested garden. A resort-like urban sanctuary unfolds.

“Living in the city is coveted for its conveniences, but you don’t often have large green spaces to escape to. That’s why we’ve created a massive garden that residents can luxuriate in here at Midtown Modern,” says Cheng Hsing Yao, Group Managing Director of GuocoLand.

The lush, sprawling landscape on the third-storey garden is a key feature of Midtown Modern. Here, a thick canopy of trees and naturalistic landscape features provide a respite for the senses. This expanse of green sets Midtown Modern apart in an urban district so densely populated. A large lawn area beckons children to play, while numerous scenic spots invite calm and rejuvenation into busy lives.

Home extends beyond the apartment doorstep when you’re a Midtown Modern resident. Explore the development’s many common areas, and adapt it to suit your living, working, and entertainment needs. Use the plush, hotel-like lobby as a second workspace or meeting lounge, and read or meditate in the zen-like garden pavilions. Host your dinner party or wine tasting in the clubhouse and rooftop pavilions of the Garden Deck and rooftops, assisted by the generous range of kitchen equipment there.

With a space for every occasion and every resident, Midtown Modern’s flexible common areas accommodate your every need.

Opportunities to build a warm community of your own abound at every corner, whether it’s over watching football with fellow residents at the sports bar-themed pavilion, or meeting other young parents at the child-friendly lobby play space.

GuocoLand’s resource-efficient and community-minded approach towards urban design pre-empts the future of city living by encouraging communities of young families and working professionals to flourish together. In embracing these more sustainable ways of living, the Midtown Modern ecology is one of a better tomorrow.

Given this time of rapid ecological change, a futuristic home is also one that helps to safekeep today’s world for future generations. Midtown Modern’s innovative green features optimise the management of the entire residential ecosystem, from energy to water and waste, greenery to lighting and cooling systems.

With its sister projects Midtown Bay and Guoco Midtown both awarded Green Mark Award (Platinum) from the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), Midtown Modern homeowners are in the good hands of eco-conscious sustainability experts.

Principal Architect, ip:li Architects, Four-time President’s Design Award winner

An Urban Sanctuary
Driven by the fundamental goal of designing for people, the architecture of Midtown Modern creates a rejuvenating environment that feels cocooned from the city.

What is the architectural concept for Midtown Modern?
With Midtown Modern, we wanted to explore how we might create an experience that invites people to live in the city, yet create a rejuvenating environment that feels cocooned from the city. That was our main challenge.

What kind of feelings do you hope to evoke with the Midtown Modern experience?
Because we’re designing homes for people to build their lives upon, what I hope to evoke in residents is a feeling of warmth and intimacy – as if they are coming home to the comfortable companionship of a close friend. We went with concrete and brown masonry to create this sense of cosiness, even though many might say that luxury is expressed with steel and glass. With Midtown Modern, we’re creating a different expression of luxury that is warmer and more comfortable, especially given that many will call it home.

How does Midtown Modern bear the ip:li signature?
As with all my other projects, Midtown Modern is driven by the fundamental goal of designing for people, first and foremost. This is no earth-shattering concept, though it certainly is a very important one. Architecture is a backdrop against which people’s lives unfold; a site on which they build their history. It must be user-centric and livable. As an architect, I’m always looking to design robust spaces that encourage people to fully embrace living in their own homes – rather than being reluctant to do so because it’s too immaculate or precious. Midtown Modern exemplifies this with its rugged aesthetic. To some, it may read as Brutalist, but for me it’s not so much about the look as it is about a tactility and toughness that I’m after.

Many of your designs embody a sense of timelessness. How did you apply this philosophy with Midtown Modern?
It’s not up to me to say whether the design will be timeless, but I do aspire towards it. The architecture of Midtown Modern is inspired by the brick buildings of Midtown districts in other cities such as New York and London. The materiality of brick is one that stands the test of time, and I hope that many years down the road, people will still look to Midtown Modern and find its qualities refreshing.

How does Midtown Modern borrow from the best aspects of Martin Modern?
Martin Modern’s lush greenery and poetic spaces distinguished it from other luxury residential developments, and created a modern expression of livable luxury. We sought something similar with the garden sanctuary that we’re crafting here at Midtown Modern.

What does living well mean to you?
To me, living well means surrounding yourself with the people and things that you love. You don’t have to live in a very big space – you can live with a very small footprint, as long as it contains interesting nooks and corners that you can enjoy. The great trap of modern life is the belief that more is better, but I believe that going back to basics is the greater wisdom.

Midtown Modern… takes a bold approach towards inviting nature into the city… an expression of nature that is wilder, freer, and more authentic.

What is your approach towards the Midtown Modern landscape design?
We took a biophilic approach in seeking to maximise residents’ connection to nature as much as possible. The result is a naturalistic and organic landscape that invites nature back into the city centre, after many years of minimal green spaces in this neighbourhood where shophouse developments prevailed. For Midtown Modern, we will have a forested-themed garden on level three as well as rooftop gardens on both towers. Together, these gardens will have a combined area of more than 1 hectare and feature 186 species of plants.

How do you foresee the landscaping playing a part in contributing to residents’ sense of wellness?
By crafting a botanic resort of varying textures and terrains, it is our hope that people slow down to savour their experience of the landscape. Rustic gravel paths and boardwalks conjure a sense of journeying through the countryside. With amenities deliberately woven in amongst the creeks and woods, we create moments for residents to let nature into their lives, and in doing so, allow wellness to emerge at the forefront of their experience.

Given the large amount of greenery at the Garden Deck, how did Ortus shape the experience so that it is a meaningful one?
We used the concept of seasons to differentiate zones in the gardens on Level 3. One would find flowering plants and trees in the Spring and Summer Woods, while the Autumn Wood features plant varietals that have orangey-red hues. Naturalistic landscape features such as creeks and pools surprise at every turn, creating moments of joy, excitement, interest, adventure and relaxation.

The landscape for the rooftop seems quite distinct from the comparatively more verdant Green Deck. Tell us more about it.
The Midtown Modern rooftops borrow from landscape elements of karstic mountain peaks, which are more minimalist in nature. Here, low-lying rockscapes are set against panoramic views of the city. Residents can catch a moment of Zen amidst the stark poetry of rock forms.

From ground level to rooftop, the Midtown Modern landscaping draws from an unusually wide variety of natural landscapes. Why is that so? Taking inspiration from countryside resort villas, these transitions in scenery provide both interest and drama as one moves through the residence. At ground level, the high ceilings and lighting are grotto-like, while the third-storey gardens is a lush forest. One ascends through these spaces to arrive at the mountain summit of the rooftops.

What are some unique features of the Midtown Modern landscaping that set it apart from other condominium developments? Midtown Modern’s landscaping takes a bold approach towards inviting nature into the city. Deviating from the trimmed, manicured approach that most residential developments take, we favour an expression of nature that is wilder, freer, and more authentic. The dense canopy of trees in the development is one major example of this – even at the lap pool, trees are planted close to the pool’s edge such that sunlight filters through the canopy of the trees overhead and gives the sense that one is ensconced in greenery on every inch of the land.

Arrival Lounge
In this high-ceilinged ground-level lobby, natural light filters in through the glass elevator shaft. A rock garden stands in the midst of the plaza retail shops, replete with delicate, feathery foliage that call to mind a cavern grotto habitat. A breezy atmosphere suffuses this plaza space, evoking the relaxing ambience of a luxury resort. Sheltered from the elements, yet open to light and air, this semi-enclosed space invites a contemplative pause in the busy everyday rhythms of city life.

Summercourt Garden
One arrives at the third-storey gardens via the elevator and is immediately transported to a verdant sanctuary. The grounds here begin with the open terrace of the Summercourt Garden. Beyond a leafy grove of Tristania trees lays an inviting 50-metre lap pool surrounded by trees planted close to the water’s edge. Swim laps underneath their outspread canopies, and let your mind drift away to the countryside whilst the bell-like flowers of the Lily of the Valley tree sway in the afternoon breeze.

On the other side of the Summercourt Garden, entertain in the versatile Clubhouse space where a full array of kitchen equipment and foldable partition panels ensure a fitting venue for all your social needs, be it large celebrations or small soirees. The easily movable furniture also makes this space highly adaptable for other functions, including dance sessions or indoor exercise.

Key Plant Species

Sea Tristania | Tristaniopsis obovata
Height*: up to 10m Feature tree A native tree species of Singapore that has been flagged as critically endangered, its attractiveness lies in its flaky orange and copper bark. It stands out due to its open crown of thick leathery leaves.

Lily of the Valley Tree | Elaeocarpus grandiflorus

Summer Wood
Adjacent to the Summercourt Garden lies a grand lawn where a number of intriguing tree specimens reside. The Snake Tree flowers in the night, leaving a thick carpet of blooms on the ground for residents to discover in the morning. Other trees such as the Ceylon Ironwood tell stories of their own through their evolving appearance, creating an ever-changing environment that is full of surprises.

This open grass lawn is ideal for group activities such as yoga, aerobics, and children’s playtime. Parents can keep an eye on their toddlers from the nearby stone seating as they catch up with neighbours.

Hidden behind the lawn, a pond filled with aquatic plants and a trickling stream draws one’s curiosity to explore further into the Summer Wood.

Key Plant Species

Snake Tree | Stereospermum fimbriatum
Height*: up to 30m
Emergent forest tree
Native to the Indochina region and growing in the humid forests up to 1000m in altitude, the Snake Tree derives its name from the 35 to 70cm long pendulous twisted fruits that contain winged seeds, to be dispersed by the wind when the fruit splits open.

There is perhaps no better place to seek serenity than the Spring Wood in the west corner of the deck. Here, rustic stone paths lead to a teahouse pavilion that looks out onto a lily pond, while the flowering Crepe Myrtle trees nearby heighten one’s senses to the delightful colours of nature.

Partake in the rituals of a tea ceremony in this purposebuilt pavilion, where low tea tables and a semi-enclosed, air-conditioned lounge provide the perfect backdrop from which to contemplate nature.

Height*: NA Feature submerged aquatic plant The Water Lily is a rhizomatous aquatic plant that grows submerged in ponds. It floats its round leaves on the water surface, splaying its flowers above the water in the full sun.

Autumn Wood
The trees that line the North Tower give the Autumn Wood its name. With their brilliant autumnal foliage, varietals the likes of Fiddlewood and Flame Tree transport one to a more sub-tropical clime through their impressions of fall. In particular, the way that the Illawarra Flame Tree blooms scarlet whilst leafless presents a visual metaphor for the autumnal way in which leaves shed before winter. Parents and children will enjoy encountering these spectacular sights whenever they journey to the play area in this corner of Midtown Modern.

Key Plant Species

Flame Tree | Brachychiton acerifolius
Height*: up to 15m Feature tree Originating from Eastern Australia, the Flame Tree is a deciduous tree with a conical crown of glossy deep lobed leaves.

Estuary Wood
Situated along one end of the lap pool where the estuary stream begins, the Estuary Wood features lush foliage that release a light, sweet scent into the air. This row of trees fronts the façade of the South Tower residential units along the pool. Yellow Saraca and Rose of Venezuela trees spread their branches over the estuary stream, creating a cooling shade over the water. Sunken seatings within the pool provide a perfect resting place for one to catch up with friends, or simply for oneself to bask in the solitude of a rejuvenating atmosphere.

Embrace your inner child as you make a game out of tracing your way through the trail of stepping stones by the rain garden. Get close to the water, and discover a whole new world submerged beneath its surface. Observe the dragonflies flit from plant to aquatic plant – at Midtown Modern, life can be this idyllic.

They cluster directly at the branches and attract bees and birds.

Karstic Peak Garden
One’s exploration of the Midtown Modern landscape culminates in the Karstic Peak Gardens at the summit of each residential tower. Stepping out onto the roof garden, one finds oneself on a winding path modelled after cliffside trails. Craggy stone slabs interspersed with tender grasses and the soothing silver foliage of exotic trees create new vistas at every turn.

The journey ends on a rockscape platform, where the low-lying rock forms cast a poetic silhouette against a panorama of the cityscape beyond.
