DUO(雙景坊)由馬來西亞和新加坡政府聯合開發，極富歷史意義。建築也象徵著兩國之間的共生關係，並對周邊城市和區域產生積極深遠的影響。DUO的兩座塔樓主要包含了以下功能—— 一座為660套的商業公寓，另一座為辦公樓和Andaz五星 級酒店。塔樓與地面相接之間，建築的功能逐漸模糊，變成一個開放的通透公共空間。在這裡，露天或有頂棚的人行道及花園穿插於塔樓之下，一個充滿活力的商業區就這樣在塔樓周圍編織開來。
In this historic joint venture development between the governments of Malaysia and Singapore, architecture comes to symbolize the symbiotic relationship between two countries and the positive effect on a larger urban, as well as regional context. While DUO’s two towers contain the main functional elements – one tower accommodates 660 residences and the other corporate offices and a five-star hotel operated by Andaz – the structures dematerialize as they reachthe ground, opening out into a porous public landscape. Here, vibrant commercial spaces weave around the footprint of the towers through a sequence of gardens and walkways that pass in and out of the towers hovering above.
鑲嵌在塔樓中間的廣場24小時向公眾開放，廣場四周種滿了新加坡的茂密熱帶植物。這個公園式廣 場融合了多個花園和園景休閒區，並通過地上和地下多種方式與城市的其他部分相連，交通十分方便。塔樓還緊鄰多個交通樞紐，建有通道直達武吉士地鐵站。前往塔樓的機動車需要使用專用車道，這樣保證廣場可以作為一個完全步行的區域。
The plaza is open to the public 24 hours a day and celebrates the lush tropical vegetation that grows across Singapore. This parkland mixes a series of gardens and landscaped leisure zones which are linked to the rest of the city through multiple connections above and below ground. The development is further served by multiple transport hubs and integrates direct access to the Bugis metro station. Vehicles reach the towers by a series of dedicated ramps, allowing the plaza to serve as a fully pedestrianized space.
塔樓底層的公共區域完全實現了自動降溫，創造了一個舒適、環保的公共空間。這個公共空間可以全天候開放，無需考慮空調能耗，並形成了涼爽的小氣候，使塔樓有如一片寧靜的熱帶綠洲。DUO塔樓外層布滿了錯綜複雜的蜂窩狀紋理，它不僅暗示著周圍城區如蜂巢般繁忙的活動，在建築功能上還具有環保作用。
The public ground floor is entirely passively cooled to create a comfortable and friendly public space that can be left open and accessible around the clock without concern for the energy consumption of air conditioning. The result is a series of microclimates throughout the development that foster a restful, oasis-like environment. Stretched across the skin of the DUO towers is an intricate honeycomb texture that not only hints at the hive-likeactivity of the surroundings, but also serves as a functional element in the building’s environmental strategy.
在DUO的設計過程中，設計師使用了消減的方法。圓形空間由建築物的凹型曲面構成，建立及準確地表述城市間的關係。這兩座塔的意義，絕不僅僅是給城市增添了兩座建築物這麼簡單，事實上，它們還發揮著空間製造者的作用。這些空間與周圍的建築物相融合，打造出了一個充滿活力、 多樣化的景觀供整個區域的人們探索。一條條垂直的壁階和懸臂進一步突出了塔樓的輪廓，同時創造了不少高架公共空間。
Ole Scheeren designed the DUO towers through a process of subtraction. Circular spaces are carved from the building’s mass to establish and articulate precise urban relationships. The two towers are not merely an addition of independent objects, but perform as a space-generator. These spaces integrate the neighboring buildings, while creating a vibrant and diverse landscape of public exploration through the whole district. A series of vertical offsets and cantilevers further articulate the towers』 silhouette and generate a series of elevated public spaces.
立面上的蜂巢由一系列六角形遮陽篷組成，保護塔樓免受太陽散發的灼熱和眩光影響，同時也不會影響人們欣賞窗外新加坡的花園、海洋和天際線。這些蜂巢網格還在塔樓平滑凹形的曲線上造出了紋理，精心雕刻出建築懸臂部分和退線部分的戲劇效果。每棟建築細長的側面都布滿了纖細的垂直線條，以突出雙塔的優雅和精緻。
The honeycomb comprises a series of hexagonal sunshades that help protect the towers from the heat andglare of the sun, without interrupting the views out over Singapore’s gardens, oceans and skyline. The grid alsoprovides texture to the smooth, concave curves of the towers, as well as accentuating the dramatic cantilevers and setbacks that form the physical body of DUO. The slender edges of each building are marked by a series ofthin, vertical lines, designed to emphasize the elegance and refined expression of the towers.
