Kampung Admiralty is an excellent example of a mixed-use development. It’s not just a place for seniors, but it has also invigorated the whole community through its amenities, and won accolades from locals and international organisations since its completion in 2018.
The design takes on a unique club sandwich approach by layering different programmes on top of each other. With this approach, Kampung Admiralty encompasses a variety of programmes within one building, including 104 flats for the elderly, a medical centre, a senior care facility, a preschool, retail outlets, and a 900-seat hawker centre.
HDB has already announced more projects similar to Kampung Admiralty for other parts of Singapore.
The development is a great example of how land can be used efficiently while providing a high quality of life for people and retaining space for nature and greenery.
