What sparked the idea for Figment?
Fang Low: I wanted to help bring back shophouse living, and the first step in establishing Figment was to take a risk and reinvent the very same shophouse I grew up in as a boutique home for co-living. Local design firm Ministry of Design had the radical vision of painting the entire house white as a blank canvas for us to start writing this chapter in reimagining shophouses and the neighbourhoods around them.

Citibank Singapore recently unveiled their largest wealth advisory hub globally in Singapore’s Central District, dedicated to their high net worth clients.
Featuring a thoughtful biophilic design to provide a unique banking experience to their clients, Citi Wealth Hub at 268 Orchard is designed by Singapore-based Ministry of Design, an integrated architectural, interior design and branding studio.
Citibank sought to create a wealth management centre that would deliver a unique wealth banking experience to their clients. Spread across an area of about 30,000 square feet (2,725 square metres) over four floors of the building at 268 Orchard Road in downtown Singapore, the proposed wealth hub would have plenty of client advisory rooms, flexible work areas and event spaces to host seminars and bespoke lifestyle events for clients among others.
