GREENHILLI WINS SINGAPORE INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS DESIGN AWARDS 2020
GreenhilLi is most proud that our Expo Interchange is the winner of the 19th SIA Design Award for Transport Category
Expo Interchange
Design Award winner for Transport Category
‘The jurors commend the team for their perseverance towards design excellence in an infrastructural project that is often technically restrictive and demanding. At the Interchange, there are clear and coherent design strategies to bring together various interfacing entrances and exits, in a way that makes navigation legible and effective. At each entrance, there are contextual responses that are executed with refined detailing. Coupled with the creative use of colours, subdued textures and artwork, this station design is exemplary in an elegant resolution of architecture.' - Jury citation

Public Architecture Award
‘The success of the elegant new architecture, with its soft metallic sheen, airy volumes and crisp titanium detailing, lies in its distinctive yet productive cooperation with the materiality, form and use history of its heritage partner. Notably no part of the heritage building has been erased or obscured, rather it provides a counterpoise to the new.’ - Jury citation

Bayshore Park Underpass
Design Award winner for Special Category (Others)
‘The photographs give little clue to the absolute joy of the place, which the jury panel experienced. The project is rhythmic and free-flowing, reflective of its site; a tree-lined stretch of East Coast Park that is teeming with activity. The judges applaud the project for transforming a utilitarian underpass, into architecture of significance that is fun and joyful. The architect’s carefully composed materials render a distinctive character and spatial atmosphere to a usual infrastructural building.’ - Jury citation
