The Pinnacle at Duxton is the tallest public housing project by HDB (Housing & Development Board) to date. It comprises of seven 50-storey blocks linked by communal sky parks at 26th storey and roof level. The Pinnacle at Duxton was a winning scheme by ARC Studio Architecture + Urbanism and RSP Architects Planners & Engineers for a two-stage international design competition organised by URA (the Urban Redevelopment Authority, http://www.ura.gov.sg) in the year 2001 & 2002. The jury panel included, among others, Prof. Fumihiko Maki from Japan.

Other matters aside, the attempt of the organiser to realise the winning scheme is really appreciative.
