The Singapore Island Country Club (SICC) has been named a Winner in Architectural Design - Recreational at the 2025 BLT Built Design Awards for its Bukit Clubhouse project. The development also received an Honorable Mention in Recreational Architecture at the 2025 Architecture MasterPrize.
The clubhouse was designed by DP Architects, led by Lead Designer Tan Chee Kiang, alongside design team members Zic Chen, Songchai Puksakul, Refano Puspita, Pinson Lim, Joyce Law, and Ye Ganghua.
Additional key project contributors include:
The project reimagines the traditional golf clubhouse as a community-focused destination centered on nature, wellness, and family. Situated adjacent to the Lornie Nature Reserve, the facility uses courtyards, layered façades, and integrated landscapes to connect indoor and outdoor spaces.
According to project details, the design and planning of SICC "harnesses nature as its backdrop and expands the definition of ‘sustainability’" in direct response to the natural surroundings of the reserve.
Site planning utilizes the existing elevational difference between the road and the site to create a new datum for facilities. This layout allowed the architectural scheme to integrate a green deck and parking structure without additional excavation, preserving the site's ecological integrity.
The architectural programming incorporates three key scales of connection to the surrounding environment:
To accommodate evolving operational demands, the clubhouse incorporates adaptable pavilions. The space can be reconfigured to support a wide range of uses and meet future club requirements.
