Super unique lift in 36-year-old Pasir Panjang condo feels like riding a tram in Hong Kong

[UltimaOnline]

Built into the side of a hill​

The 36-year-old condominium, called Palisades, is built into the side of the Pasir Panjang hill area, facing the Singapore Strait.

The architect wanted the building to blend in with the hillside.

The 18 units are arranged in pairs, and are serviced by this lift that travels at a 22-degree angle, rather than vertically.

Residents can also choose to access their homes via two sets of stairs on either side of the building, and enter their homes via the balcony.
