THE architecture firm behind the design of three blocks at St George's Towers Build-To-Order (BTO) project has bagged a top design award for Housing and Development Board (HDB) projects, in a year that saw the board name a record number of winners.

Built in the Kallang-Whampoa district and towering over lower-rise developments in the mature estate, each block boasts a sky terrace on the 24th storey fitted with fitness equipment and benches where residents can enjoy unblocked views of the city and the Whampoa River.
