Overseas Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC) Centre

201m/659 ft
52 floors
completed in 1976
designed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners

On the site of its former main offices the client requested a new headquarters to house an imposing ground floor banking hall and provide some half-million square feet of office space — largely for the bank but also for tenant leasing. The solution, an innovative 200m-high tower (the tallest in Asia upon completion in 1976) occupies a focal position in modern Singapore, having served as a vertical anchor for the developing cityscape.

Unlike most central-core towers, OCBC has twin cores at either end housing all of the tower's elevators, mechanical and support systems. Steel trusses and prestressed concrete girders span between the two cores, like rungs on a ladder, transferring gravity loads to the foundations and permitting tiers of column-free office floors to be "floated" in between. Each tier is articulated by a 5.5m cantilevered concrete sunscreen faced in glass tile to match the granite-clad cores.

By virtue of the bi-core structural system, the base of the building was opened up to create a 12m-high column-free banking hall that extends out to the street through its transparent glass walls. A garden plaza further mitigates architectural mass as a 21m-long bronze — Henry Moore's largest walk-through sculpture — animates public space and contrasts playfully with the bold, yet serene, tower form.
