Under the internship programme, you will be attached to a Design Studio in the Centre of Excellence for Urban Design and Development, a part of HDB's Building & Research Institute. You will work with HDB’s Architects to take on niche HDB projects to test, stretch and develop new ideas and concepts on real projects, at the urban and architectural design stages. In the process, you will be exposed to the considerations and intricacies behind the next iteration of public housing design, and appreciate why the concept of public housing is so much more than housing the public. This awareness will help you grow as an Architect or Architectural Professional, and a designer. You will also be able to experience working alongside engineers, landscape architects and other specialist consultants in a multi-disciplinary setting, as well as be exposed to the interactions with other players in the eco-system, such as the housing developer, contractors and specialists. In so doing, you will better understand the role in which an Architect or Architectural Professional plays in the design and construction process. If you are curious about what HDB Architects do, this internship post will give you a hands-on experience on what Architects do for public housing developments. This can range from urban design to architecture and even designing of spaces such as the communal living room. We encourage you to apply for the internship post to discover your passion.

Internship period: 8 Dec 2025 - 9 Jan 2026 Preferred disciplines: Architecture, Spatial Design
