SkyVille @Dawson
HDB apartments with sky garden at sleepy Queenstown.
"Awarded a Platinum Greenmark rating - Singapore's highest and the first for public housing - the project adopts robust passive design strategies including naturally lit and ventilated lobbies, staircases, access corridors. All apartments are naturally ventilated and due to the open, airy design, a substantial proportion of units have not installed air-conditioning. Photovoltaics on the roof power the common facilities. The design is fully precast and prefabricated, reducing waste and errors on site. The design creates variety through the re-arrangement of the modules, through colour, light and shade."

Shake Shack @Neil Road
"Formerly the Tiger Balm factory, evident with the rooftop pagoda-shaped like their trademark bottle, the iconic building sitting on 89 Neil Road was erected in 1924 in a beautifully intricate Neoclassical style."

Tiong Bahru Market
"Despite the rapid pace of the modernisation that has taken place all around the rest of the Tiong Bahru estate, this building stands firm as one of the last bastions of the old Tiong Bahru, a reminder of a time when life was simpler and the neighbourhood just a little quieter."

2021 Museum Roundtable: Eurasian Heritage Centre
"The Eurasian Heritage Gallery encapsulates the rich history and culture of the small but vibrant Eurasian community in Singapore who have contributed to nation-building since the 1800s. The blend of European and Asian led to an ever-evolving unique Eurasian culture. Some have even traced their family trees back fourteen generations to the 1600s!" 👉 Visit the official gallery website. |

"Originally known as Wan Qing Yuan, this villa was bought by Teo Eng Hock in 1905 as a retirement home for his mother’s twilight years. He later offered the villa to Dr. Sun for his revolutionary activities. It was in this villa that Dr. Sun planned three uprisings before the successful Wuchang Uprising of 1911." 👉 Find out more. |
