Look Inside These Award-Winning HDBs

Although HDBs are still known as "affordable state-built housing", the new developments are soaring higher and boasting state-of-the-art designs and facilities. This week, a total of 11 HDB Design Awards are awarded to various projects, with most notably, Skyville@Dawson and Punggol Waterway Ridges. We are all familiar of their outsides, so let's take a look at their insides. After all, it's what inside that really counts.

SkyVille @ Dawson

The first public housing project to win the BCA Universal Design Mark Award, SkyVille@Dawson features a massive rooftop garden on the 47th floor, and wide open spaces to encourage community bonding. The estate also offers three flexible layouts per flat type, including column-free, beam-free apartments that offers more flexibility.

Waterway Ridges

Closeby the picturesque My Waterway@Punggol, Waterway Ridges was inspired by the beautiful mountainscapes found in Chinese “shan-shui” paintings. The heights of the blocks are staggered to give the effect of “ridges”, and like a beautiful terraced landscape where homes overlook the beautiful views of the waterway.
