The Interlace, a ‘vertical village’ in Singapore, has won the World Building of the Year award at the World Architecture Festival in November.

Designed by German architect Ole Scheeren and completed in 2013, The Interlace is made up of more than 1,000 apartments across 31 buildings, which are stacked diagonally to maximise private and communal space and allowing maximum light and air penetration into the development, according to Property Report.

The design allows for eight large hexagonally-shaped courtyards throughout the 170,000 sqm development, filled with community amenities such as swimming pools, gyms, barbecue areas, tennis courts, games rooms and a running track. Prices for apartment units start from $1.6 million.
