The infamous <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/1026195/the-vessel" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vessel</a> has received several responses and critiques. However, with Hudson Yard's recent opening a little over a month ago Heatherwick has been busy working on the unveiling of another project in <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/1881/singapore" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Singapore</a>. </p>

However, in Singapore Heatherwick Studio showcases its newest residential project. The tower stands 20-stories tall within Singapore's Draycott Park in the Orchard Road Neighborhood. Named "Eden," the tower is said to be an application and case-study of "globalized architectural replication and environmentalism."</p>
