Honourable Mention - 2025 INDE Awards

We are pleased to share that our project, the New­burgh Light House, has received an Hon­ourable Men­tion in the Mul­ti-Res­i­den­tial Build­ing cat­e­go­ry at the 2025 INDE.Awards. Host­ed by Inde­sign Media, the INDE.Awards cel­e­brate design excel­lence across the Asia Pacif­ic, recog­nis­ing projects that con­tribute to inno­va­tion, sus­tain­abil­i­ty, and qual­i­ty of life on a glob­al stage.

Locat­ed in Auburn Vil­lage, New­burgh Light House deliv­ers a sus­tain­able hous­ing mod­el for 21 res­i­dents across 10 lev­els on a com­pact 150m² site beside a his­toric train sta­tion. With no street access and a north façade abut­ting Vic­Track land, the design addressed com­plex chal­lenges around fire, acoustics, light, and struc­tur­al sta­bil­i­ty. The solu­tion was a mini-tow­er with one res­i­dence per floor, using glass block façades to meet fire and day­light require­ments while cre­at­ing a lantern-like pres­ence to the pub­lic realm.
