Sandscrawler: A Groundbreaking Architectural Marvel

Andrew Bromberg's Award-Winning Design Celebrates Diversity and Civic Quality

Andrew Bromberg's Sandscrawler, a regional headquarters for a major entertainment-related company, is not just an office building. This unique architectural design, which floats up to 13 metres above the ground, is a celebration of diversity and civic quality. Completed in 2013 in Singapore, the Sandscrawler is a testament to Bromberg's innovative approach to design and architecture.

The Sandscrawler was inspired by a strong civic intent within the master plan. Despite the highly defined guidelines dictating height envelope and setbacks, Bromberg sought a solution that celebrated diversity. The result is a building that fulfills viability requirements but also makes a strong civic statement.

One of the unique features of the Sandscrawler is its external metallic glass skin. This allows for privacy on the more exposed faces and presents an aerodynamic appearance. Office areas, on the other hand, are openly visible to the courtyard with low-iron clear glass. This interplay of privacy and openness is a defining characteristic of the Sandscrawler.

The Sandscrawler is more than just a building. It includes a sufficiently landscaped courtyard and a 100-person theatre, making it a hub for cultural and social activities. This design decision reflects Bromberg's belief in the importance of communal spaces in the workplace.

The Sandscrawler, with a gross area of 21,468 sqm, was completed by Andrew Bromberg at Aedas. The project was completed in 2013 in Singapore and has since become a landmark in the city. The Sandscrawler is a testament to Bromberg's innovative approach to design and architecture.

The Sandscrawler's unique design and innovative features have not gone unnoticed. In 2017, it was awarded Silver in A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award. This prestigious award is given to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation.

In conclusion, Andrew Bromberg's Sandscrawler is a groundbreaking architectural marvel that celebrates diversity and civic quality. Its unique design and innovative features make it a standout in the world of architecture and design. The Sandscrawler is a testament to Bromberg's innovative approach to design and architecture, and a shining example of what can be achieved when design guidelines are seen not as constraints, but as opportunities for creativity and innovation.
