PEARL BANK APARTMENTS
1 Pearl's Hill
Archurban Architects Planners

Completed in 1976, the distinctive 38-storey horse shoe-shaped private apartment block was then the tallest residential building in Singapore, and one with the highest density for a private residential development.

The 272-unit apartment block comprises three types of split-level units. Each unit is further zoned into "public" and "private" areas to offer maximum exclusivity and views to the occupants. The opening in the circular structure faces west and minimises direct penetration of heat and light from the afternoon sun into the building.

Pearl Bank Apartments is one of the pioneers of high-rise, high-density living in Singapore, and continues to act as a landmark in the Outram area.
