Great choice of unit.
Basically this unit is totally unobstructed from the front tower 1A and from the living room, it has a steal view capturing nicely the Keppel Marina to ResortWorld. Can expect to view, feel the pulsating beats and the presence of the party crowds gathering at the famous Prive outlets.

Reflections at Keppel Bay: Embracing the curves
Good architecture is ‘wondrous and fulfils new desires’, says Polish-American architect Daniel Libeskind.
His first project in Singapore, Reflections at Keppel Bay, meets those criteria.
Almost 98 per cent of its 700 released units had been sold as of last month, with prices starting from $2 million. It has a total of 1,129 units.
It is not just its location by the waterfront that makes it appealing. Its curvaceous design also makes it spectacular and unusual.
Developed by Keppel Land, Reflections has six curved glass towers from 24 to 41 storeys high and 11 villa apartment blocks with six to eight storeys. It was launched in 2007 and is expected to be completed by 2012.
The curved structures, Libeskind says, came about as the space was ‘thought from inside out. Every unit is in a unique space. You don’t feel anyone living on top or below you’.
Looking at the towers, the floors look slanted due to the curved facade but he says with a laugh: ‘I assure you they are flat.’
The architect has also done away with balconies for its towers. Instead, units come with full-height glass windows that have clear views of the city and Sentosa.
‘There is no need for balconies in high- rise living as there are fantastic views around,’ says Libeskind, who was in Singapore last month for the topping-off ceremony for a tower block at Reflections.
He is pleased with the project’s progress – it is turning out to be what he planned.
‘With architecture, it is precise, there is no substitute for a building. You can’t just see it in models or drawings,’ he says, adding that Reflections comprises ‘handcrafted buildings that are not mass-produced’.
Indeed the design is a challenge for the local building team: With floors of different sizes, the builders have to make sure that the core of the buildings is straight, so that lifts can travel smoothly.
Reflections’ unusual design has polarised the local architecture fraternity.
Dr Erwin Viray, assistant professor of architecture at the National University of Singapore, likes it, saying in an earlier report that ‘the towers appear as if they are moving and dancing’.
A detractor is veteran architect William Lim, who has said the ‘design is cutting-edge, experimental and you could even say it is gimmicky. Personally, it is not my cup of tea’.
Libeskind, 64, is famed for designing the Jewish Museum in Berlin and is also the master planner for New York’s Memory Foundations, as the World Trade Center master plans are called.
He is unfazed by the negative comments about Reflections. When architects design something unprecedented, he reasons, there is bound to be some criticism.
‘Those architects who dislike Reflections will shake their heads in a different manner in a few years.’
Whether or not that will happen, he is sure of one thing. ‘It will be very hard for others to imitate this.’ |

This is my special dedication to the occupier and maybe a ticket to future stardom/tai-tai clubmembership.
to me, this view is priceless and surpasses any of the so called seaview or marina view.
She is blessed with the privilege of having the shoulder being rubbed. The only action is to smile and wave to the largest penthouse on record, just directly across, every morning. The penthouse owner is none other than the super uber high network human being.
Without fail, the price of these penthouse will break the record high and set the industry might.

Our little Red Dot is dreaming big now a day and getting extremely sexy.
She is partying with the might of Daniel, Hadid, Sir Norman and your lovely Ole Scheeren. Hence, we are really fortunate with the great availabilities of handsome hunks seen in town.
Whatever the form and shape presented, do not missed chasing those handsome hunks. Good choice, Slash |

The formation of Reflections Towers have gracefully blossomed into nicely shaped, after many years of wait.
Very soon, she is ready to be bestowed with an elegant Tiara specially designed and imported from Lebeskind Studio, to seal her supremacy befitting her princess status.

We are amused by Passion's posts and We agree that the buildings are shaping up quite nicely. |

Lady Gaga's Tiara
The artistic interpretation of the Tower Crown design is outrageously avant garde and to a certain extend, humorous. It is the stuff that is strictly reserved and can only be carried off by Lady Gaga.
In effect, the silhouette of Gaga joggeting at KeppelBay stage inherently processes the same magical attraction powers. Like honey, the southern coast of this island can expect swan of humming bees.

a close up view of Lady Gaga's Tiara.
Enormously huge and about 15 storey high, it poses a herculean engineering feats to execute this challenging projects.
Area of complexity include:-
a) transfering the architect overview sketches into 3 dimensional geometry.
b) the precision skills to fabricate and weld these 457mm diameter cylinder pipes accordingly to form this exquisite design.
c) the assembly and implementation logistic to realise it on top of 40 storey building.

The size of these circular pipe are so huge that it can easily slot an adult into it.
Found these circular form shaped untypical of Lebeskind's trademarks expression, and it increases the complexity of welding these circular pipes together as compared to a rectangular shaped pipe.
Wonder these tower crowns are to be installed on top the windy roof or air lifted up upon assembling at the site.
Certainly, this project is the most ambitious tower crown ever to be carried out locally. |

It is the case of Aesthetic being infatuated by Vanity. |

Does Reflections Tower really needs those embellishment ?
Not only it is barely empty and nakedly exposed.... it has an apocalyptic feel as described by Lieblingsg. Believed it does not goes well with the majority. Only those wild eagles inhabiting at Sentosa would happily welcome the new found cages. to hand out in sartorial style a La Karl Lagerfeld.
Owning to the allocation of building costs and the inabilities to visually presents the crown views to the man on the ground, it explained why most buildings go topless.
In this aspect, Lieskind's Studio had superbly capitalized on the site location strength to marvelously leveled up Reflections with this exquisite crown.
This Lady Gaga's tiara processes the originality and design uniqueness that has greatly distinguished Reflections further apart.
My six sense had already indicated that if Reflections ever captures the Jury attentions, it must be the Lady Gaga to the rescue.
