Modern Tropical Luxe

Designed by one of Singapore's top architectural firms- a practice whose signature modern tropical styles have become synonymous with Singapore's emergent architectural identity. This house displays all the 'classic fingerprints'- the powder rooms overlooking a lush garden, a water feature through the walkway and luxuriously sized bedrooms.For more info:http://www.urbanespaces.com/tropicalluxedetached.html

1984 Apple's Macintosh Commercial

It's hard to believe that a brand with such a niche, almost deviant message with an ad that references literary works could have almost mainstream appeal.

The Next Neighbourhood-Again

At around the same time that I was touting the virtues of Pasir Panjang, the Sophia/Niven enclave was of particular interest to me as well. The developments in the area, however, turned out uninteresting and commodified, and, like an out-of-favour stock, I stopped backing it.

Recently, however, I'm hearing news of the formation of a creative enclave involving some of the most respectable names in the industry. Taking advantage of its centrality and the curiously undervalued real estate prices could well be a reason. The seeming 'discovery' (and completion) of neglected conservation buildings could be another. Shawn's post referencing a new bar cum art gallery within a restored 1950s Art Deco building and the recent opening of Air's flagship store(in a breakaway from Park Mall's traditional stranglehold on luxury furniture stores) has me convinced once again as to the neighbourhood's potential- in commercial real estate.

Graffiti'd video

To put this in context, the original video can be found here:



graffiti.vidavee.com allows you to apply graffiti on any video. I'm hoping there'll be a wider variety soon.
