Art Deco Renewed: Jui Residences Wins FIABCI World Gold 2023

Jui Residences has been named World Gold Winner in the Residential (Mid Rise) Category at the FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards 2023. The Prix d’Excellence recognises completed real estate projects internationally.

The development stands on Serangoon Road beside the Kallang River, pairing 117 new dwelling units with the adaptive reuse of the former National Aerated Water building. Built in 1954, the plant bottled soft drinks including Sinalco and Kickapoo, and was gazetted for conservation by the Urban Redevelopment Authority in December 2017.

Its two-storey L-shaped Art Deco frontage was retained, along with the signage tower, the timber transom panels, the balcony parapets in fair-faced brick, and the concrete sunshading ledge that spirals out of a circular window. The new building extends that Art Deco language in a contemporary register.

Our thanks to FIABCI, to developer Selangor Dredging Berhad, and to the project team.
