Being a young country that is slowly climbing its way up the international stage, Singapore takes pride in every achievement made, especially those inviting global recognition. Hence it was indeed groundbreaking when The Interlace, our very own condominium, beat 338 other projects from worldwide to clinch the top Building of the Year prize at the World Architecture Festival 2015. Most label this occasion as “the Oscars of the architectural industry”, making the award an extremely honorable one. This is in fact Singapore’s second win at the festival, with the first having been clinched by Gardens by the Bay in 2012.

What makes it so special: The uniqueness of the Interlace lies in its distinct design of its 31 apartment blocks creatively stacked in a hexagonal shape – probably the only one of its kind in the world. It is no wonder that it has been acclaimed by the international architectural fraternity for being the “trailblazer” of a new paradigm to developments that would otherwise just be another cluster of towers. The judges of the Architecture Festival thought this new style could spawn more novelty in the field, and were eventually won over by The Interlace’s "bold, contemporary architecture and thinking".
