Reflections at Keppel Bay (World-class Waterfront Living)

Went for a site visit to Reflections at Keppel Bay this afternoon. Definitely an insightful trip. Site visits are always fun :)

Some brief introduction to this project:

The Daniel Libeskind showcase
Libeskind’s first residential showcase in Asia has its platform at Keppel Bay in Singapore.  His iconic design for Reflections at Keppel Bay will put Singapore on the world map for luxury waterfront homes.

Rising at the water’s edge as ‘beacons of light’, the Libeskind showcase will be the epitome of premier waterfront living in Singapore.

Set in lush and expansive grounds, the waterfront development features six high-rise towers, some linked by skybridges, and spacious low-rise villas. The Libeskind development will sit on a land size of approximately 84,000 sq metres with an extensive shoreline of 750 metres.

Every detail and aspect of design will optimise interaction with the sea and the commanding panoramic views of its scenic surrounds including Mount Faber, Keppel Club Golf Course, Labrador Park, Sentosa and its upcoming Integrated Resort and the city skyline.

Some first-hand info gotten from the sites:

1. 1 unit costs 4 million!! Yes, you must be really rich to get one.
2. The curve part of the tower is build off-centred first..as the construction goes, the centre of gravity changes...so eventually it will tilt to the position desired..
3. Almost 100% of the construction workers are foreign workers..
4. There's only 1 FEMALE engineer in that site. (Construction site is still the mens' world)
5. Reflections is built on Government's land. Currently, there is only 1 point of access to the construction site..That's why..the project starts from the most inner part. At the same time, a road will built beside the area of the whole project to serve as an access point for future use.

Interesting enough..we still able to take some pictures on the site...(Try not to take pic in front of the safety officer.We dont want to look like BIMBOS). Spent my first rainy day on the construction site too..That's how exciting a site visit can be..Haha
