The iconic Pinnacle@ Duxton is Singapore’s tallest public housing project and indeed a majestic sight to behold along Cantonment Road.
The 50-storey high building houses 1848 apartments, connected by 7 towering blocks.
The result of the first international design competition for public housing, the Pinnacle is also the first in the world with 2 unique skybridges linking the 7 blocks at the 26th and 50th storey.
Competing with over 200 firms worldwide, the competition was won by Singapore’s own award winning architectural firm, ARC Studio Architecture + Urbanism. The young team were able to clinch the top prize (beating even the likes of Norman Foster and Zaha Hadid), with a scheme that impressed the judges as it resolved the complex issues in a simple and elegant manner.
In addition to creating possibly the longest continuous skygardens in the world, these skybridges, which also house a jogging track, offers a panoramic view of the city skyline.

The 26th storey skybridge is reserved for residents’ use only. Facilities on this skybridge include a RC centre, jogging track, senior citizen fitness corner, outdoor gym, children playground, community plaza, fitness corner and 2 view decks.
In keeping with the fact that the Pinnacle is a public housing project, the 50th storey skybridge is open to both residents and the public – so that everyone has an opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking views of our beautiful city.
