The Gateway
Beach Road

The Gateway is a twin set of 40-storey 150-metre tall office buildings in Singapore. It is located along Beach Road, and was completed in 1990. Singaporeans often call The Gateway the "Kueh Lapis" building, as its appearance resembles the local layer cake. The two buildings are called The Gateway East and The Gateway West.

The architect of the Gateway is IM Pei, the same Guangzhou-born architect responsible for the Raffles City and the pyramid at the Louvre. The Gateway is noted for its striking symmetry, sheer corners, providing a visual appeal to the Singapore landscape.
