Flat owners will also be able to traverse the two structures via sky bridges on the 14th and 26th floors. Wong Heang Fine, CEO of CapitaLand Residential Singapore which is developing the site, said: 'With Sky Habitat, we are creating a habitat for the future; a condominium that is also a house.

"While structurally a high-rise apartment, Sky Habitat will give residents the feeling of living in a house. This is because of the natural ventilation, lush gardens, sky bridges and open walkways that surround them."

Stunning design and wonderful pool for those that heights don't bother them.

It looks terrific: I LOVE the balconies, the size, shape.

Great pictures there Arista from the Daily Mail Link you included. :)

With this heat here, I am going to imagine I am luxuriating in the Singapore sun, lying out on one of those balconies, with a Singapore Sling and some other lovely sundowners.

I would never swim in that pool -I think my slight fear of heights would get the better of me.

Just looked up where it is. It is in some not so nice area of Singapore, Ive never even been up there. Maybe they're are trying to develop the north more.

It's horrible, this is just a luxury resort, think of all the poor starving children below that look up to that everyday seeing fat lazy european tourists swimming in it everyday.

That's the kind of pool you can imagine Dominique Strauss-Khan raping women in.

It's like all these 3rd world countries are trying to imitate Las Vegas, but they still have archaic laws where they arrest all homosexuals, or any single woman that has sex. it's mind blowing.

I don't think they really understand the appeal of Las Vegas. It's not the architecture that draws people to Las Vegas. lol

I'd rather spend a weekend in an alabama swamp than go to these south asian destinations. and i'd feel much safer.

Just to let you know, Singapore is the 3rd most developed country in the world in the sense of GDP per capita and is in no way a 'third world country', it in fact is more 'first world' than your country; the united states. It also has one of the lowest poverty ratings in the world and the 2nd or 3rd lowest crime rate globally. Plus they do not arrest homosexuals, and they in no way condone pre-marital sexual intercourse.

So there is no need to go off on one. You clearly do not know all the facts.

sorry, is that part in bold meant to be a GOOD THING??

LOL. yur funny. are just making stuff up or do you actually have any references for your claims?

LMAO @ singapore is more developed than the US.

That's like saying my flower garden is the most developed flower garden in the world if i just plant all the flowers really close together and only count 1 square foot.

I will retire from this thread now, as the past has told that; you are not one I really want to enter into discussion with so I bid you farewell. If the evidence given is not enough then I pity you.

notice the USA is the only country on that list with over 10m people lol The USA has 300m.

like i said, that list is ridiculous because it pretends that tiny countries have the same struggles and challenges as giant countries. Obviously it's easier to run a tiny country which is why that list is dominated by tiny countries.
