Heartbeat@Bedok

This 7-storey complex is part of HDB’s ‘Remaking Our’ Heartland’ initiative to rejuvenate Bedok Town Centre. This building integrates the best practices of passive sustainable design principles while accommodating a Community Club, Sports & Recreation Centre, Public Library, Polyclinic and Senior Care Centre within its premises.

The Forestry theme features multiple layers of trees, shrubs and groundcover creating a park-like environment on the floors, reminiscent of the Bedok Adventure Park that used to occupy this site. To retain the character of the park, its mature trees are kept and a dense landscape is integrated with the structure. A lush softscape design resulting to a high green plot ratio of 4.58, combined with other sustainable efforts, have contributed to the building being certified as Greenmark Platinum in 2016.
