The Pinnacle.
Seven blocks, 50 storeys, and a sky bridge that connects the buildings at level 26. On the roof, the scheme boasts two of the longest skygardens in the world – each 500 metres in length. On the ground, the community is brought together by a layered network of sports courts, playgrounds, meeting places and landscaped gardens.
With a remarkably small footprint that snakes its way through Chinatown, this masterpiece in urban density packs 1800 apartments into its verticals, all while feeling thoroughly liveable. Which begs one question: who is behind such an ambitious scheme?
Well, actually this is public housing.
And it is a real statement of intent from Singapore’s Housing Development Board: an organisation that has been bent on a mission, ever since the 1960s, to provide quality housing for all.
