\nFour heritage buildings have been conferred the URA Architectural Heritage Awards 2016 for their exceptional restoration works, revealed the agency on Thursday (6 October).
\nAccording to the URA, the Awards honours the people who make conservation happen. They include building owners, developers and contractors. From this year, conservation specialists have been included as part of the awardees.
\nRestoration awards were given out to the 146-year-old Saints Peter and Paul Church on Queen Street, the iconic Sultan Mosque in Kampong Glam, and the three-storey Goh Loo Club at Club Street \u2013 formerly a gentlemen\u2019s club.
\nThe Capitol Singapore, a once-popular leisure venue at Stamford Road comprising three buildings built in the early to mid-1900s, picked up an award for restoration and innovation, after it was converted into a luxury lifestyle integrated development.
\nThe South Beach mixed-use development along Beach Road also received a special mention for the amount of historical research and technical expertise that went into its restoration work.
\nA total of 128 projects have received the annual Awards since it was started in 1995.
\nMeanwhile, a free exhibition showcasing the four winners will be held at The URA Centre at Maxwell Road from 7 October to 30 November 2016.
