\n\u201cDelivering well-designed and quality homes for Singaporeans is a national endeavour.\u00a0 Even as HDB takes the lead in planning, design and construction of public housing, our architectural consultants and building contractors play an important role,\u201d said HDB\u2019s chief executive Dr Cheong Koon Hean.
\nAmong the recipients of the design awards is ADDP Architects LLP for providing the blueprint for Waterway Cascadia, a housing project in Punggol Waterway known for its cascading blocks that maximise the area\u2019s scenic views. It also received the Building and Construction Authority\u2019s (BCA) Greenmark Gold Plus standard and an Active, Beautiful, Clean\u00a0(ABC) Waters certification due to its eco-friendly features, such as a network of bio-swales and rain gardens.
