    • Nestled in the vibrant district of Island South, S22 stands as a transformative business hub where creativity and collaboration thrive. The arrival journey, thoughtfully crafted by via., is reimagined as the Endearing Garden – a serene, welcoming sanctuary that marries the organic beauty of nature.

    The interior palette’s minimalist aesthetic stems from a seamless blend of beige travertine and white marble. A reception desk clad in accent green marble introduces a soft, natural counterpoint, while custom bronze signage and typography lend a refined, contemporary edge. Finished in black granite, the water feature infuses the arrival lobby with a sense of fluidity and calmness.

    A serene atmosphere prevails, created by a white oval ceiling that lends an airy calm. Sculptural pebble seats offer moments of quiet connection, reminiscent of a tranquil garden path. Rising gracefully from the floor, timber-clad columns add a tactile, earthy quality to the space.

    The heart-of-the-lobby gallery is enveloped by a striking bronze sliding gate. Within, a curated collection of Chinese antiques from the private collection of Empire Group’s founder, Dr Walter Kwok, anchors the arrival experience through his love for traditional Chinese cultural values.
