Do you see this Gaudi Roofed Building along the CTE highway?

10 August 2010 2 Comments

You would not have missed this ‘Gaudi’ roof design when you drive past the Novena area along the CTE. This eye catching roof with distinctive onion shaped domes belongs to the white apartment along Keng Lee Road called Haniffa.

The original Gaudi designed roof in Barcelona

You are able to see Muslim motiff cladding around the white apartment. This 12 storey building is owned by a Muslim family with 3 generations living under the same roof. Businessman Mohamed Haniffa, 70, spent $9 million in constructing the apartment block to house his family of 15 and five household helpers.

I took a picture of Haniffa during the National Day: The building is flying several Singapore flags and banners of different colors and sizes, showing its patriotism from each family.
