Singapore City’s Scotts Tower offers urban space with suburban surroundings

Dutch design practice UNstudio has unveiled plans for the Scotts Tower, a residential highrise that will be located in Singapore’s shopping district near the district’s parkland. The grand tower will comfortably house 231 residents and offer sweeping vistas of Singapore City.

The modern tower is set to feature both apartments and luxurious penthouses and the designers are seeking to recreate the feeling of both a suburban neighborhood home and city life in one structural experience. There will be a community sky terrace, as well as four subdivisions of gardens along the 31-strory structure. Each zone in the Scotts Tower features a unique look and design in order to mimic the feeling one would get in a naturally diverse urban environment. Scotts Tower will also offer a host of recreation facilities for its residents including a 50 meter lap pool, children and wellness pools, sunning deck, as well as barbeque and meeting pavilions.

Take a walk through any neighborhood, and you're bound to see a few Ring video doorbells installed next to front doors. The brand is increasingly popular, thanks to an ever-growing product lineup that makes it easy to find a device for all budgets and security needs. But one of the peskier features of Ring is the need for a Ring Protect Plan -- a monthly subscription service that unlocks the majority of the camera's most useful features.

One such feature locked behind a Ring Protect Plan membership is the ability to save Ring doorbell videos. Without a plan, you'll really only be allowed to view a live feed of your video doorbell. The plans are pretty generous, with the Basic plan costing $5 per month and offering video history for up to 180 days, making it a worthwhile investment for homes worried about their security.
