The pipe organ in Singapores Cathedral of the Good Shepherd was installed in 1912. In restoring the church, the organ was dismantled and shipped to Diego Cera, a pipe organ-building company in the Philippines, and the refurbished instrument re-installed.

A church and a hotel, both new projects, bagged this year’s Singapore Architectural Heritage Awards last week. And a building at the site of an iconic former bakery received a special mention.

The Cathedral of the Good Shepherd, Singapore’s oldest Catholic church, won the award for restoration. The award for restoration and innovation went to The Warehouse Hotel, a former godown.
