Recognising the streets and public realm as the backbone of a successful place, the masterplan rests on the foundation of an extensive network of shaded streets, promenades, pedestrian and cycle links. The masterplan also includes the creation of a clear hierarchy of spaces appropriate to the location, the surrounding uses and built form.

The design of the new community focused on creating a place that encourages people to be more active and to interact with their neighbourhood. This not only helps to promote a more sustainable way of life, but it also facilitates community interaction, wellbeing and a distinctive sense of place.

While creating a new sense of community, the masterplan has also worked within the existing context and features of the surrounding site, including the Kebon Melati Reservoir.

The design and layout of the development caters to the innate human affinity for natural blue spaces, providing steps to that lead users and their activities closely along the water’s edge, creating an active waterfront area as well as a space for passive recreation.

The main concept of the public realm is to utilize the landscape as a connective element throughout the whole site. By making the landscape and public realm into a binding system, all the different spaces and amenities throughout the site can be accessible for the benefit of all residents and visitors.

The brief from the client was to create something highly functional, but with distinct design languages, with a wider view to establish a sustainable and healthy lifestyle and working community.

The architecture is dominated by a clean and elegant language that effectively unifies the different typologies and uses. All of the material, form and colour is drawn from one source, and serves to establish a consistent and sophisticated look that complements the approach and ambition of the designer and developer alike.

Completing the vision for an active and healthy waterfront lifestyle, 57 Promenade features ample workout and wellness spaces including private gym, pool and spa amenities at the residential towers’ sky park, a suspended jogging track connecting the office and hotel towers, and The Sports Club – a one-of-a-kind sports and fitness facility with five levels of dedicated spaces catering for over 10 different specific sports.

Beyond the large conventional gym floor, this facility will feature spaces where emerging technology meets the latest in sports data to provide leading athletic performance training. In addition, medical services will also be offered, and at the roof, a Sports Lounge Bar creates the perfect opportunity for users to meet and relax before or after a workout.
