Ingenhoven Architects have released images of Marina One, a high-density mixed-use complex for the new Marina Bay Financial District in downtown Singapore. The plan consists of two office towers, two residential towers and a retail podium set between two large urban parks. The project's centerpiece is the "Green Heart," which upon completion will become the largest public plaza in the central business district. Construction has currently topped out, with an expected completion date falling sometime in 2017.

The design of Marina One is green in both the literal and figurative sense of the word. The inner faces of the four towers feature vertical plantings centered around a multi-level biodiversity garden. To maximize airflow and create a comfortable microclimate, the buildings have been designed with strategically placed openings and are shaped to capture air currents.

The two 30-story office towers meet LEED Platinum criteria and as well as the local designation of "Green Mark Platinum," and feature sky gardens and two floors of high-density occupancy, which will be the largest "Grade-A" office floors in Singapore.

Singapore is one wild place.
