A rare new project in this mature prime district, Martin Modern combines thoughtful modern design and unrivalled accessibility with the privileges of cosmopolitan living at its doorstep, coddled within a lush and spacious botanical park. Martin Modern has devoted 80% of its land area to be artfully developed into a unique botanical garden and arboretum of native flora, forming an enchanting natural park that will embrace the two-tower development.
The vision of a home in a garden was brought to life by award-winning landscape architect ICN Design International. The project comprises two 30-storey towers with a footprint of just 20% of the 171,535 sq ft site. This frees up the remaining land for greenery — there are 15 gardens and lawns and well over 200 species of tropical trees and plants located at different levels of the grounds and buildings to create a multi-tiered landscape design.
In addition, there is a forest trail, a maze, a bio pond, a bamboo groveand an aquatic garden between the two residential towers. Other facilities include a fitness court, tennis court, a dining and club lounge that overlooks a 50m lap pool, an expansive lawn with barbecue pits, and a dipping pool and jacuzzi. At the rooftop of each of the two towers is a “secret garden” with dining pavilions and viewing points.
The design architect for Martin Modern is Yip Yuen Hong of ip:li Architects, who specialises in designing luxury Good Class Bungalows and is a four-time winner of the acclaimed President’s Design Award. Yip worked on the design of Martin Modern with another award-winning architectural firm, ADDP Architects. To give the development a sense of timelessness, Yip incorporated elements of Robertson Quay’s heritage as a warehouse district and gave them a modern twist. This can be seen in the loft-like spaces of the apartments at Martin Modern and the burnished brass look of the façade that consists of corrugated, pre-cast concrete panels.
