HOMEGROWN architecture firm ARC Studio Architecture + Urbanism has made a name for itself designing upmarket condominiums, community spaces and also for designing Singapore's first 50-storey public housing development, Pinnacle@Duxton. But its directors Khoo Peng Beng and Belinda Huang say they do not see their projects as mere buildings but as spaces that hold lives.
Ms Huang recalled how residents at Pinnacle@Duxton would excitedly tell her how much they enjoyed living there. "That is what good design can bring - a sense of pride and belonging," she noted.
The husband-and-wife team received the Designer of the Year award at the President*s Design Award (P*DA) 2020.
