Architects Wong Mun Summ and Richard Hassell have reason to shout Woha.
Their homegrown firm, Woha Architects, received the prestigious Aga Khan Award for Architecture on Tuesday in Kuala Lumpur for its residential project 1 Moulmein Rise.
This is the first winning project from Singapore.
The award was established by the Aga Khan, spiritual leader of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims, in 1977.
Attention is given to buildings that use local resources and technology in an innovative way and to projects likely to inspire similar efforts elsewhere.

The award has a triennial prize fund of US$500,000, making it the largest architectural prize. The prize money is split among the nine winners this year.
