Kampung Admiralty

Kampung Admiralty

Awarded the World Building of the Year 2018 at the World Architecture Festival, and the backdrop for PM Lee’s National Day 2018 message, this one-stop integrated housing complex was designed to meet the needs of the Singapore’s ageing population.

The community garden displays 18 species of local fruit trees, reminiscence of the abundance back in the kampung day. Over 610 trees and 80,000 shurbs were planted on the roof area of 3600m2. The huge amount of trees, especially on the upper level, were a challenge for implementation and making sure they are secure. Limited access from Level 5 to 9, meant trees were carefully hoisted to the upper levels. Other plants had to be manually delivered to their planters with the use of a pallet jack. Various improvements to the ABC water system were also met through active collaboration with contractors. The result is a next-generation neighbourhood living harmoniously within much needed greenery.
