The Sail at Marina Bay, Singapore

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

One of the tallest residential buildings in Singapore, The Sail @ Marina Bay consists of two towers of 70 storeys and 63 storeys. 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 tiIt of the system, while also enabling manufacturing to be optimised.
