Mapletree Business City II

We are in the time to seriously rethink how human settlements and everyday living affect the ecosystems at large. People spend majority of their day at work and often overlook the importance of the environment around them. At Mapletree Business City II, we seek to define a new workplace typology that could embrace modern working lifestyle with the environmentally friendly urban space that also allows nature to thrive. The main concept is to create ‘Forest Ecosystem’ on the roof of a car park podium at the heart of the development. Not only that it will provide ideal microclimate for outdoor space in the tropical weather condition, it also extends the ecological corridor from nearby nature reserve. Choice of planting material is the result from exploration to identify species at the Kent Ridges Park to ensure survival rate. Efficient storm water management could reduce flooding risk and nurture effective rainwater harvesting system.
