One of the most prestigious prizes in architecture has just been awarded to a housing complex in Singapore.<\/p>\n
The judges at the\u00a0World Architecture Festival 2015,\u00a0which ran from November 4 to 6, has bestowed its top honor, the World Building of the Year Award, upon an apartment complex known as The Interlace. Designed by the Dutch-based Office for Metropolitan Architecture,\u00a0the building was an entry in the housing category, where it was also recognized as the top entry.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The development\u00a0is on an elevated site covering 8\u00a0hectares. It makes the most of being in the lush green Southern Ridges of Singapore, with its 31 stacked apartment blocks each measuring six stories high and ensuring\u00a0beautiful views in every direction.<\/p>\n This also creates\u00a0eight huge, open courtyards with rooftop sky gardens and terraces for public and private use.\u00a0The development’s apartment facings were carefully designed to ensure privacy.<\/p>\n But this unique design doesn’t sacrifice living space. The complex contains 1,040 apartment units of varying sizes spread across more than 1.8 million square feet \u2014 all with an incredible amount of outdoor space and landscaping.<\/p>\n
