The Residential Development is located on the Rangoon Road, a neighborhood in transformation. he Elite Collection by Maple International Group will be a new, world-class 21st century luxury apartments for Singapore. The Collection has been developed in 2 phases; QUAD studio took this opportunity to rethink the notion of luxury within the traditional colonial architecture in Singapore.
The design concept combined this colonial architecture with aspects of the Italian Renaissance Palazzo (Grand residence). It is a classically-informed modern response to the streetscape around Chinatown, Katong areas. The vertical and horizontal division followed the classical architecture proportion, but express in a modern approach. The façade incorporates with recessed balconies allowing the units for openness and daylight, while keep privacy for the residents. The quality of the architecture and distinctiveness of the use will add to the richness and character to the adjacent neighborhood.
