Because of its aesthetic qualities and its ability to stand up to the very humid climate, QUARTZ-ZINC PLUS was chosen for the roofs of the prestigious Singapore opea and theatre development. 

The Waterfront is dominated by the twin glass and stainless steel domes linked by the contrasting dark grey zinc foyer roof.

The zinc is laid using the standing seam technique down the slope of the roof and canopy of the main entrance hall. The curved roof slopes gently in a series of steps, with glass fronts that gleam like the underside of waves curling shoreward. The foyer roof ends in a bullnose with its underside contiuing inside the foyer to form part of the ceiling.

Standing seam was also used on the circular roofs of the Raffles Avenue entrance and the Rehearsal Hall, and on the roof of the adjoining Satay club.

The Design Assistance Office and PRO-ZINC team worked closely with the architect and roofing company to ensure the success of this project which has already become an architectural icon in the region.
