Thomas Heatherwick's name has circulated through the media thanks to his affiliation with Hudson Yards and his unforgettable public centerpiece whose given name is yet to be confirmed. The infamous Vessel 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 Singapore. 

Recently, the British designer's name has been primarily linked and eclipsed by Hudson Yard's "Vessel." 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."

For the designer, his philosophy and aesthetic focus is to create spaces that oppose the idea of living spaces being shut away from its natural surroundings, nature. At first glance, the eye is immediately drawn to the rounded bulb shaped balconies whose form embeds an organic characteristic within the structure. The tower's balcony is a rhythmic blend of form and function. The building's spatial design creates a flow of natural ventilation that can face the country's tropical heat. Eden's organic design is very similar to another Heatherwick project in Singapore, The Learning Hub. 

According to Heatherwick the intention of the building's design was to create a tower that would complement the area's lush tropical landscape. The designer has been noted stating, "like most global cities, Singapore's skyline is filled with angular steel and glass towers. With Swire Properties, we wanted to create something distinctive that represents Singapore as a city in a garden, and recreate the verdant backyard access once ubiquitous across homes here. instead of glass-clad edifices with token balconies, each home within ‘EDEN’ will have a lush garden right at the doorstep with organic and generous living spaces achieved by breaking up the traditional boxy floorplate."
