Habitat. Singapore's Floating Towers
Habitat. OMA & Singapore's Floating Towers: You have to respect mother nature, physics and a good hamburger. The hamburger is a little off topic, but we had a great one this weekend so it's still on the mind.

The 153 meter tall tower will be located at the intersection of Scotts Road and Cairnhill Road, in close proximity to Orchard Road, Singapore’s famous shopping and lifestyle street."
