Property developer SP Setia Bhd has bagged another prize when its Singapore sales gallery for the Setia Eco Gardens project won an award at a major property event.
It won the "Best Developer - Office/Commercial Project Award" for its widely used theme of ecology and "green" architecture.
The award is a recognition for property developers that have shown outstanding achievements in the emerging Asian market.
The Cityscape Asia Real Estate Award 2008 ceremony was held in conjunction with the Cityscape Asia and Conference in Singapore recently.
SP Setia chief operating officer Datuk Voon Tin Yow received the award from Lebua Hotels and Resorts chief executive officer Deepak Ohri, who was one of the judges for the award.
"(This gallery) is the perfect embodiment of how concrete and natural elements can converge to create a sustainable living environment that reduces our carbon footprint," Voon said in a statement.
The single-storey sales gallery, dubbed Eco Gallery, features a rectilinear glass form that is placed along the north and south axis while its sides, facing east and west, have concrete surface to reduce heat gain.
Covering 2.23ha with a total built-up area of 1,900 sq m, the gallery is surrounded on all sides by water bodies that serve as cooling agents besides beautifying the landscape.
