by Cheryl Tay

SQFT Architects beat 30 competitors to emerge as winner of the design competition for the upcoming Bukit Panjang Hawker Centre (pictured), announced Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Vivian Balakrishnan.

The announcement was made during the public forum and exhibition, Rethinking Hawker Centres, held as part of Singapore Institute of Architects' (SIA) yearly Archifest, reported AsiaOne.

The captivating design by SQFT Architects shows practicality, making use of natural lighting, while preventing heat and glare. Apart from maximising natural ventilation, the proposed hawker centre will also provide shelter from the rain.
