Seven skyscrapers with flower-shaped plans are dotted across this residential complex in Singapore, which was completed by Zaha Hadid's firm before
her untimely death last month
Finished in late 2014, D'Leedon is one of the last projects to be delivered by the Iraqi-born British architect, who
passed away last month after suffering a heart attack in a Miami hospital.
The largest condominium complex anywhere in Singapore , it comprises seven curvaceous towers extending up to heights of 150 metres, a row of contemporary villas, and a wide array of facilities including swimming pools, tennis courts and a labyrinth.
There are 1,715 residential units in total, and these range from small flats and garden duplexes to family apartments and so-called sky penthouses.
"With D'Leedon, Zaha Hadid Architects explored new possibilities in large-scale residential design, rethinking each element of the design and bringing together concepts of individuality, differentiation and continuity," said a statement from the firm.
In response to the tropical climate, the seven towers are positioned to minimise sun exposure. They match one another in height, but their unique flower-shaped plans create a wide of variety of home types.
