The public hospital in the Yishun district of Singapore won the Building of the Year and the Best Institutional Healthcare Building Design awards.
Khoo Teck Puat Hospital has 550 beds and is the top healthcare institution in the region. It has been transformed into a relaxing environment for recovery, which combines the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape with cutting-edge security and safety features. The SIA commended RMJM for creating a powerful environment for healing from a building normally associated with illness. The hospital is located in a lush green setting next to the area’s Yishun Pond.
