Singapore's very own Kampung Admiralty has earned the premiere accolade for architectural design - named Building of the Year at this year's World Architecture Festival. The winning design team at Woha Architects made creative use of the modest 0.9ha site with a 45m height limit, combining a sheltered plaza for community events with commercial spaces, a medical centre, and a community rooftop farm, along with childcare facilities and studio apartments for the elderly, all in a 12-storey complex.
This win gives a resounding stamp of endorsement to the idea that high-rise complexes can provide a comprehensive suite of synergistic amenities while offering good quality of living. More importantly, it is a strong signal of promising trends in the future evolution of Singapore's urban landscape.
