What do the Jurong Town Hall, The Great Madras hotel in Little India and the Khong Guan Building at 2 Mactaggart Road have in common?

They are all recipients of this year's Architectural Heritage Awards (AHA), handed out by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). The annual awards, which were first launched in 1995, recognise well-restored national monuments and conserved buildings.

WSP Consultancy and Forum Architects impressed the judges with their restoration of Jurong Town Hall, particularly for bringing back the original spatial quality of the central atrium and the spiral staircase.
