It might look like an imaginary far off land seen in a sci-fi film, but this ‘vertical village’ is entirely real and it’s just been named the world building of the year.
The Interlace development is situated in Singapore – and features 31 apartment blocks stacked at angles to each other – and won in the housing category.
The impressive block features 1,040 homes across eight hectares and finished construction two years ago.
Other winners included the plans for a proposed redevelopment of a war-ravaged Russian city, alongside a house made near entirely from scrap metal.
And the transformation of London’s Olympic Stadium into a new home for West Ham was also rewarded with the ‘Future Leisure-Led Development of 2015.
Judges hailed it as being ‘sustainable, efficient and respectful of London’s Olympic heritage.’
