Icon Residence: A New Standard in Sustainable Luxury Living

International Design Studio Pte Ltd's Award-Winning Architectural Marvel

The design of Icon Residence is a tribute to the renowned waterfront resorts and towns of the Mediterranean. The challenge was to adapt these qualities to suit the tropical character of the region while maintaining visual consistency and creative diversity. The result is a residential development that challenges conventional solutions and explores new options that test the limits of creative diversity, providing green areas both physically and visually.

The project is environmentally conscious and designed to promote green thermal indoor comfort while allowing maximum daylight. It incorporates energy-efficient features such as Inverter Air-Conditioners, T5 lamps with electronic ballasts, and heat pumps for maintaining swimming pool temperatures. The building materials are certified under Singapore's Green Labelling Scheme, and water-saving measures are in place to reduce overall water consumption.

The residences are designed for maximum indoor environmental quality. All internal wall surfaces are coated with Low-VOC paints, and the swimming pools use saltwater chlorination systems to eliminate common swimmer's problems. The rooftop garden reduces roof thermal transference to the residences, and an Automated Waste Collection system ensures efficient waste management.

The project started in October 2009 and was completed in May 2015. It was awarded Silver in A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award in 2017, a testament to its outstanding design and innovation. The award is given to designs that showcase a remarkable level of excellence and introduce positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.

The design of Icon Residence is a perfect example of how innovative design can be harmoniously blended with sustainable living. It sets a new standard in luxury living, offering residents a green living environment that engages with the natural surroundings. The project is a testament to the creative diversity and innovative design approach of International Design Studio Pte Ltd.
