It’s been more than a year since our last trip to Japan – and we’ve really missed travelling. So when Phase 3 was finally announced, we couldn’t miss out on going for a staycation here in Singapore!

If you ever find yourself exploring the North Bridge Road / Arab Street district, recommend making a pit stop at Symmetry at Jalan Kubor for brunch, lunch or tea-time.

Shortly after you’ve successfully applied, bid for and received the keys to your new home/BTO, you’ll probably be thinking about the renovation, designing and planning process of your new home.
