This is known as the "interlace" located in Singapore. I first got to hear about it during my work experience within a architectural firm. Personally i thought the design was awesome and truly captured something which i think is very important, taking advantage of the environment and making great use of it. The interlace was designed by Ole Scheeren, it contains 31 apartment blocks where each standing at six-storeys tall and identical in length. In addition they are stacked in a hexagonal arrangement to form eight large open and permeable courtyards. This has allowed the building to maxminise the presence of the surrounding tropical floral by introducing extensive roof gardens, landscaped sky terraces, cascading balconies and lush green areas.
