Living Local: Discover Chinatown with Figment
Chinatown is one of Singapore’s most storied neighbourhoods. Yet, it never feels frozen in time. Instead, tradition and modern life blend effortlessly here. When you stay with Figment in Chinatown, you don’t just visit the area. You become part of it.
A Neighbourhood That Tells Stories
Every street in Chinatown has a voice. For example, Pagoda Street buzzes with energy, while nearby alleys offer quiet moments of reflection. At the same time, heritage shophouses stand proudly beside modern cafés and studios. Because of this mix, the neighbourhood feels alive at every hour.
Moreover, daily life unfolds right outside your door. Shop owners greet familiar faces. Locals gather for kopi breaks. Neighbours exchange smiles as they pass by. As a result, Chinatown feels personal, not crowded.

Live Where Culture Thrives
Figment homes in Chinatown sit within carefully restored heritage buildings. These spaces respect the past while embracing modern comfort. More importantly, they are designed for real living, not short stays.
Each home allows you to slow down and observe. You wake up to natural light. Then, you step out into streets filled with history and rhythm. Because Figment focuses on long-term living, you get time to truly settle in and belong.
A Neighbourhood That Lives and Breathes Culture
Chinatown tells its story through streets, food, and people. For instance, Mosque Street buzzes with daily activity, while nearby lanes offer moments of calm. At the same time, temples, markets, and cafés sit side by side. Because of this contrast, the neighbourhood never feels one-dimensional.
Moreover, everything sits within walking distance. MRT stations, hawker centres, and cultural landmarks surround you. As a result, daily life feels effortless and connected.
Food, Flavours, and Familiar Faces
Chinatown’s food scene defines the neighbourhood. Hawker stalls serve recipes passed down for generations. Meanwhile, new eateries add creative twists to classic flavours. So, every meal feels like a discovery.
Even better, living nearby changes how you eat. You return to the same stalls. Vendors remember your order. Slowly, routine replaces novelty. That’s when the neighbourhood starts to feel like home.
Why Figment Fits Chinatown Perfectly
Figment believes that where you live shapes how you live. That belief comes to life in Chinatown. Instead of isolating you, Figment homes connect you to the surrounding community.
You live among locals. You follow neighbourhood rhythms. Over time, you stop feeling like a visitor. Instead, you feel rooted. That sense of belonging defines the Figment experience.
Life at Irama House encourages interaction without pressure. The common living area and kitchen are located on the third floor. This shared space naturally brings residents together. Meanwhile, pantry areas on the second floor support everyday convenience.
Rooms are named after influential figures from Singapore’s music scene in the 1970s and 1980s. This detail adds character while reflecting the home’s name, Irama, which means “tempo” in gamelan music. Because of this, the home feels both creative and grounded in regional culture.
Why Figment and Chinatown Belong Together
Figment believes that a home should connect you to its surroundings. Irama House reflects that belief perfectly. Instead of isolating residents, it places them right inside the neighbourhood’s flow.
You don’t just stay near Chinatown. You follow its tempo. Slowly, you feel rooted rather than temporary. That sense of belonging defines the Figment experience.
Live the Neighbourhood, Not Just the Address
Chinatown offers colour, culture, and connection. With Figment at Irama House, those qualities become part of your daily life. You gain more than a place to stay. You gain a neighbourhood that welcomes you in.
And ultimately, that is what living local truly means.
