The architectural identity of CanningHill Piers is immediately recognisable. Created with Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) as lead design architect, the residential towers rise to different heights, their glass-clad forms connected by an elevated sky bridge. The composition gives the development a distinctive profile against the surrounding cityscape, while framing its relationship with the river and the green slopes of Fort Canning Hill.
The development is conceived as more than a pair of residential buildings. Its two residential towers form part of a larger integrated precinct that also incorporates CanningHill Square, Moxy Singapore Clarke Quay and Somerset Serviced Residence. Commercial, hospitality and residential uses occupy different parts of the development, bringing several dimensions of city life together within one architectural setting.
Above the activity of the commercial levels, the residential experience unfolds across three levels of recreational facilities. The elevated sky bridge is particularly significant, connecting the towers through a series of leisure and wellness spaces. Its Infinity Lap Pool, Infinity Lounge Pool, Spa Pool and Floating Lounge transform an architectural link into a place for recreation, relaxation and looking outward across the city.
The wider design is equally concerned with the relationship between private residence and public realm. The integrated precinct extends towards the Singapore River promenade, while Fort Canning Hill provides a contrasting landscape of gardens and historical spaces. Together, these relationships give CanningHill Piers its defining character: a contemporary residential landmark positioned between Singapore's natural, historical and metropolitan identities.
