For the construction, local architecture studio [WOHA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pan-pacific-orchard) aimed to create a "vertical village." As a result, a lot of the spaces in the Kampung Admiralty building are stacked. WOHA's green senior housing complex is definitely thought-through. As mentioned, the building does not only boast homes for the elderly, but it also takes their wellbeing and needs into consideration. As a result, the structure includes a [medical center](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carcavelos-health-complex) that is easily accessible, as well as some shops and eateries on the first floor. This makes Kampung Admiralty "Singapore's first integrated public development that brings together a mix of public facilities and services." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Vertical Villages:** Opportunity to revolutionize single-use buildings by integrating living, health, and public spaces in high-rise buildings. - **Green Senior Living:** Innovative architecture and sustainable technologies that cater to the specific needs of seniors, can lead to more efficient and eco-friendly designs and services. - **Integrated Public Developments:** Creating mixed-use buildings that bring together a variety of public facilities and services can result in more holistic and convenient environments. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** Developing new models that prioritize sustainability, functionality, and wellness in buildings of different sizes and purposes. - **Senior Living:** Tailoring services, amenities, and living spaces to meet the changing needs and preferences of seniors, particularly in urban settings. - **Smart Cities:** Leveraging technology and data to design and manage urban environments that enhance the quality of life for all citizens, including seniors and people with different abilities and backgrounds. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Senior Housing Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ellen-browning-building.md) - [Low-Impact Garden Dwellings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-senior-shelter.md) - [Hotel-Based Garden Terraced Columns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pan-pacific-orchard.md) - [Neighborhood-Like Retirement Complexes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cobham-bowers.md) - [Garden-Centric Health Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carcavelos-health-complex.md) - [Lush Garden Housing Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volante.md) - [Eco-Friendly Rainforest Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mandai-rainforest-resort.md) - [Bright Balcony-Defined Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nightingale-village.md) - [Urban Ecological Design Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-ecological-design.md)
