TMW Maxwell

TMW Maxwell is a high-rise residential tower located in the heart of the Singapore’s Central Business District, embedded amongst the fine grain historical shophouse cluster and the ultra-sleek high-rise office towers. The project’s Design and Project Architect is Formwerkz Architects, for Joint Venture clients CEL Development Pte Ltd, Singhaiyi Group Pte Ltd and Chuan Investments Pte Ltd. We envision the urban housing project to enliven the city and to respond to the post-pandemic Work-From-Anywhere (WFA) tendency among city dwellers. The slab of 324 apartments is largely comprised of compact, studio units. A key intent was to create a biophilic extension of the home where live, work and play could occur seamlessly and creatively. The key feature of the project is the Tower of Sky Terraces designed on the building’s gabled end facing Maxwell Road. This series of pocket gardens in the air is stacked, staggered and inter-connected to become a vertical park accessible to all the residents, from all floors. A myriad of landscape and spatial concepts, amenities and ambiences carry across the floors. Activity areas span from playful celebrative party decks, lazy breakfast bar counters, amphitheaters for small movie screenings, discussive and quiet spaces for work, meditative decks for communal yoga, cocktail bars for social gatherings, to sky jacuzzis to enjoy the setting sun. This vertical park of pocket gardens is envisaged to be the extended living space of the small apartments, a new Third Space and urban face of revitalized, city living.
