罗敏申大厦是KPF在新加坡设计的一座精品商业和办公建筑，它结合当地独特的城市文化语境，改善了公共环境，使自身在城市肌理中脱颖而出。KPF新加坡办事处在今年7月1日入驻该大厦。

The tower's design synthesizes the unique conditions that define the city-state’s physical and cultural context, creating a signature boutique retail and office structure that improves the public realm and distinguishes itself within the urban fabric.

本项目的核心在于挑战不规则场地形态与环境规范要求给甲级办公空间设计规划带来的双重限制。不过，这些条件实则最终推动了设计的成功，还充分利用罗敏申路宽阔的视觉廊道。这座大厦将自己从刻板的立面中解放出来，让自身充满活力，在独特且有利的位置加入绿地，在创建一个精品综合体的同时，也塑造了精彩的公共空间。

Bruce Fisher, KPF Design Director, reflects on Robinson Tower’s design brief: “At its core, this project presented the overlapping challenges of planning Class-A office space on an irregular site with environmental checks. However, these conditions ultimately drove the design’s success, all the while capitalizing on the expanse of Robinson Road’s visual corridor. The dynamic tower frees itself from the canyon of stoic facades, integrating green space at unique vantage points and ultimately cultivating the public realm alongside a boutique, mixed-use program.”

新加坡在2014年通过的景观置换政策要求在新建筑中建设公共可利用绿地，并且绿地面积须与因开发而损失的绿化面积相等。针对该政策的要求，以及罗敏申大厦所在的市场街和罗敏申街交汇形成的狭窄V型场地限制，KPF完成了相应的设计方案。大厦雕塑般的形态由两个主要体块组成：一个商业裙楼和悬于上方的办公塔楼，二者由裙楼屋顶花园隔开。

Passed in 2014, Singapore’s Landscape Replacement Policy requires that any greenery lost due to development must be replaced with publicly accessible greenery in equal area within the new building. This obligation, coupled with the constrained, V-shaped site defined by Market Street and Robinson Road, influenced KPF’s design solution for Robinson Tower.Its sculptural form comprises two primary volumes - an office tower elevated above a retail podium – separated by the podium’s manicured roof space.

大厦商业裙楼部分采用类似的晶体形态设计语言，使用小尺度和带图案的材料，与新加坡中心地带的历史建筑老巴刹食品市场有棱角的赤陶屋顶建立了联系。裙楼体块略高于街面，增强从地面入口到中庭花园之间的空间宽敞感与连续性。它的中庭成为办公大堂、商业和餐饮空间交汇的中心，面朝罗宾逊路的落地窗则促进室内与街景之间的对话。

Robinson Tower’s retail podium features a similar, crystalline vocabulary. Its reduced scale and patterned materiality form a contextual relationship with the angular, terracotta roof of Lau Pa Sat, a historic building and food market in central Singapore. The podium’s massing hovers slightly above street level, enhancing its spaciousness and continuity from the ground entrance into the atrium garden. This atrium forms the nucleus where the office lobby, retail and food & beverage spaces meet, while floor-to-ceiling windows facing Robinson Road encourage dialogue between the interiors and the streetscape.

塔楼立面的设计使得二十个办公楼层的海景视野最大化，同时激活了裙楼屋顶景观和封闭的塔楼屋顶花园。设计中核心筒的偏移进一步扩大裙楼视野，同时避免立柱影响公共区域。在任意角度，大厦多面的外形如同宝石，以不同方式倒映天空、反射日光，为城市天际线增添风景。

The elevation of the tower’s massing maximizes marina views for the twenty boutique office floors and activates the podium roof-scape and enclosed rooftop garden. Its offset core doubly maximizes views from the podium and avoids the issue of columns disrupting the public area. At each approach, the tower’s faceted volume dematerializes and reflects the sun and sky differently, gem-like in its shape and stature on the city’s skyline.

罗敏申大厦设计展示了巧妙的城市化手法，与KPF其他项目，如伦敦菩提街52号大厦以及纽约哈德逊城市广场55号大厦相类似。这些建筑均将历史保护街区与公共交通基础设施融入其形态设计中。这些设计均具有雕塑感和标志性，在保持高品质设计同时应对复杂要求。

Robinson Tower’s demonstration of tactful urbanism parallels KPF projects like 52 Lime Street in London and 55 Hudson Yards in New York; respectively, these buildings integrate historic neighborhood preservation and public transit infrastructure into their forms. Their designs are also sculptural and iconic in nature, advancing the studio’s prowess for high quality design alongside complex requirements.

罗敏申大厦是 KPF建筑事务所在完成了滨海湾金融中心（MBFC）项目之后开展的项目。滨海湾金融中心首次将多功能建筑模式引入新加坡，规模比本案更庞大，规划中还包含一个公园。KPF设计负责人Robert Whitlock认为本案这座独特的大楼同样体现了语境、文化与可持续性设计元素与建筑的融合。

Robert Whitlock, KPF Design Principal, relates the project to KPF’s overarching design philosophy: “Robinson Tower follows in the footsteps of KPF’s work at Marina Bay Financial Centre, which first introduced the mixed-use model to Singapore. Even though that project was massive in scale, with a park integrated in its plan, this distinctive tower similarly embodies the integration of context, culture, and sustainability with architecture. Our impactful scheme, and its successful execution, taps into KPF’s expertise designing iconic buildings for global cities, as well as for buildings on constrained or otherwise tight sites in dense, urban areas.”
