A New Narrative

2nd Edition drew inspiration from Singapore's vibrant history to design a series of showflats for the LIV @ MB condominium

With their colourful shophouses and eclectic mix of restaurants and boutiques, the dynamic enclaves of Joo Chiat, Katong and Marine Parade in Singapore's East Coast are sought after for their lively air and proximity to the sea. Naturally, these atmospheric neighbourhoods became a starting point for local design firm 2nd Edition when it was commissioned to design the show apartments of upcoming luxury condominium LIV @ MB, located at the site of the former Katong Park Towers development.

"The client wanted the design to embrace the theme of 'past, present, future' for the show units by incorporating the historical and cultural highlights of eastern Singapore with a modern twist," says design director Hilary Loh.
