The Pinnacle@Duxton is a public housing development located in Singapore. It was completed in 2009.
The Pinnacle@Duxton is a HDB, not a condominium - although it is notable for its unique design, including skybridges that connect the seven residential blocks, offering panoramic views of the city skyline. It has become an iconic landmark in Singapore's public housing landscape.
All-White, 4-Room HDB
Designed by EHKA Studio, this HDB flat at Pinnacle@Duxton has a fluid layout, and a mostly-white palette in the home.
The strategy of using mirrors in the living room helps create the illusion of an enlarged space.
Wood panels are cladded on the walls alongside the entranceway to the dining area to camouflage storage spaces.

Interior Designer's Own 4-Room HDB
The first thing that catches your eye in Ms Molina Hun and Mr Sujono Lim's flat at The Pinnacle@Duxton is a 2.85 metre-long matte black table seemingly floating between two terazzo plinths.
Mr Lim, the studio's principal director, says: "Dinner time is the most important part of our day. It is when we meet to eat after a long day and chat with each other."
The dining table takes centre stage because of these meals together. They also entertain friends around it, and Ms Hun sometimes discusses plans with clients there.

Baroque Interiors, 5-Room HDB
A couple with their two young children live in this five-room HDB flat at the Pinnacle@Duxton. The wife wanted to dress the home in happy, flamboyant colours to bring life to the space.
With the help of Raymond Zhang, design consultant at Vegas Interior Design, the couple achieved the kind of style and concept they wanted - a modern Baroque look - with a budget of $45,000.
Classic Baroque details such as the furniture's Chippendale legs blend with modern hints of silver and black, keeping the style from looking dated while giving it an edge.

Timeless Interior, 4-Room HDB
This four-room HDB apartment at The Pinnacle @ Duxton underwent a total redesign by Metaphor Studio.
It is home to a banker and college tutor in their late 30’s who wanted to maximise the space for social gatherings, and provide play areas for when they start a family.
Their preference was for a sleek, timeless design with more storage space, and to preserve the views of the surrounding urban scape.
The absence of visual clutter evokes a soothing feeling that permeates the entire home.

Modern Classical HDB
Rather than overwhelm the home, the classical period style is exemplified by subtle moulding, a large chandelier, and pastel coloured plush dining chairs. The elegant white colour scheme with gold accents softens the heavy look of the style.
The open kitchen has plenty of storage space for the home owners and carries the same white theme of the home.
To save space, the homeowner's dressing table was hidden within the wardrobe and the back of the pull-out stool designed to look the same as the drawers, giving the space an uninterrupted look.

Scandi Industrial, 4-Room HDB
For this four-room HDB BTO apartment at The Pinnacle @ Duxton, the homeowners wanted a Scandi-industrial style. They sought the help of interior design firm Fineline to advise them on material choices and fixtures to use, in order to achieve the result they wanted.
Most of the furniture and fixtures in the home come in a neutral colour palette including brown, white and grey, but the homeowners wanted an eye-catching statement in the living room and chose a bright yellow sofa to bring in the cheerful vibe.
