A short stroll from City Hall MRT Station is the highly anticipated multi-award winning hotel, Pullman Singapore Hill Street, designed by the renowned DP Architects. 700sqm of VersiWall® GP (VGP) 2060 Trays were mounted on aluminium panels, establishing high-quality mid to massive-sized lush green walls by the outdoor swimming pool, at the rooftop terraces, by the infinity pool, on the hotel’s façade, and at the lobby’s pick-up/drop off point. Automated irrigation systems were also built into the green walls, releasing precise amounts of water at predetermined times to sustain the plants.
Five minutes walk away from Sembawang MRT station lies Bukit Canberra, a 12-hectare Integrated Sport and Community Hub with a regenerative design. Opening in phases, Bukit Canberra currently houses an indoor sports hall, a polyclinic, an indoor and outdoor gym, swimming pools, childcare and senior centres, an 800-seat hawker centre, and numerous small to large green spaces.
We have studied and observed how the urban landscape has drastically evolved over the last 30 years. Despite being on a continuous journey of decarbonisation, it is worrisome to witness the constantly shifting climate and environmental risks that threaten both our greenery and human existence.
