The Sail at Marina Bay, Singapore

One of the tallest residential buildings in Singapore, The Sail at Marina Bay consists of two towers of 70 storeys and 63 storeys.

• Twin towers of 70 storeys and 63 storeys
• Aurecon's role: Façade engineering design
• Architect: TEAM DESIGN Architects Pte Ltd
• Client: City Developments Limited
• Completion date: 2008

Performance glass façades were chosen to maximise views of the new downtown resort. The façade system design needed to achieve both functionality and constructability.

As façade consultants, Aurecon's solution was a curtain wall system that used a rotating sill trim to allow variation in the vertical tilt of the system, while also enabling manufacturing to be optimised.
