MacDonald House, National monument at Orchard Road, Singapore.

The ten-floor MacDonald House features a red brick exterior and white window frames, with two marble columns flanking the entrance point.

The building experienced a bombing during Indonesian-Malaysian Konfrontasi in 1965, resulting in three civilian deaths and multiple injuries.

The structure represents Neo-Georgian architecture with straight lines, perpendicular edges, and green Chinese tiles adorning the flat roof.

Constructed in 1949, MacDonald House contained the first complete air conditioning system in Southeast Asia with individual room temperature controls.

Each office within the building receives natural illumination through an open well design and six skylights in the banking hall.
