i absolutely love the lincoln modern! it was in the papers that it was grossly overpriced - like 500k over valuation.. but who could not succumb to the philippe starck toilets and double height ceilings!

The Lincoln Modern is just one example of many stunning modern skyscrapers in the district.Perhaps someone should take the time to take pictures of them?

RafflesCity · May 1st, 2004, 10:34 PM

Yes. The Projects section is for newly announced/ under construction projects where we want to follow their progress.

It would be good to ensure that a building is completed before creating a thread in this section. Its also good to have some pics ready. This will be merged with the skyscrapers thread soon.

This octogonal multi-faceted building stands 174.4m tall alongside Beach Road ,at 43 storeys tall.The tower is an office tower ,the podium holds a shopping mall and serviced apartments.

A bridge links the serviced apartments to the office tower.

I think The Concourse looks better at night.

redstone · May 2nd, 2004, 10:15 AM

Yup ,looks awesome at night ,especially viewed from the base ,looking up.

I believe this was take by you?

RafflesCity · May 2nd, 2004, 10:16 AM

nah..it was by baqthier

redstone · May 2nd, 2004, 10:18 AM

I guess the multi-faceted facade has something to do with feng shui ; Jalan Sultan 'runs directly' into it?

RafflesCity · May 2nd, 2004, 10:20 AM

It is 8-sided and it also consists of 8 segments

redstone · May 2nd, 2004, 10:26 AM

I didn't notice that!Thanks!

And the tower is supported by eight giant columns?

Talk about competiton ,there are three serviced apartments along Beach Road!

Plaza Pacific Serviced Apartments ,The Concourse Executive Suites and In-City Lofts.

is it inspired by a pagoda?? it looks like one at night

huaiwei · May 4th, 2004, 07:54 PM

It very well might be, although it seems more to be inspired by kelongs with those stilts?

Where is that huge night picture of this building?

eyetoeye · May 5th, 2004, 11:57 AM

Wasn't it inspired by a stack of coins?

Anyway, i really love this building, though i think it looks a tad weird. It's very visible from my school.

Hmm...maybe they are thinking of stacking the higher denomination coins on top of smaller ones?

RafflesCity · May 6th, 2004, 04:38 AM

This building is similar in many ways to Taipei 101.

huaiwei · May 6th, 2004, 05:02 AM

But Taipei 101 was more influenced by pagodas, while this one is influenced by kelongs?
