Emerald Hill: Figment’s Boutique Coliving in a Heritage Enclave

Just behind Orchard Road, Emerald Hill offers a rare contradiction. It feels central, yet calm. It feels historic, yet current. Because of this balance, Emerald Hill has become one of the most compelling settings for Figment’s boutique coliving and heritage stays in Singapore.

Rather than competing with the energy of Orchard Road, Emerald Hill softens it. As you step into the enclave, traffic noise fades. Meanwhile, conserved shophouses line the streets with quiet confidence. This shift in pace sets the tone for a more intentional way of living.

A Neighbourhood Built on Heritage

Emerald Hill’s shophouses date back to the early 1900s. Over time, Peranakan influences shaped their tiled floors, pastel façades, and ornate plasterwork. Today, conservation rules protect these architectural details. As a result, the neighbourhood retains a strong sense of identity.

Figment works within this framework rather than around it. Each Emerald Hill home respects the original structure. At the same time, modern interventions introduce comfort, light, and flow. Therefore, residents experience heritage not as nostalgia, but as something they live with every day.

Figment Homes as Total Works of Art

At Emerald Hill, Figment treats each house as a total work of art. Architecture, interiors, and objects speak to one another. For example, restored timber doors sit alongside contemporary furniture by local designers. Similarly, handcrafted ceramic mugs—often inspired by shophouse soil—anchor daily rituals to place.

Moreover, Figment collaborates with Singapore-based artists, architects, and makers. These partnerships shape each home’s character. Consequently, no two rooms feel generic. Instead, each space tells a story about craft, material, and cultural continuity.

Designed for Modern Coliving

While heritage defines the shell, modern living defines the experience. Figment’s Emerald Hill homes support coliving without sacrificing privacy. Residents enjoy fast Wi-Fi, well-planned communal areas, and functional laundry spaces. In addition, thoughtful layouts allow both social connection and personal retreat.

Because Emerald Hill sits so close to Orchard MRT and Somerset MRT, daily movement stays easy. Cafes, gyms, and restaurants remain a short walk away. However, the streets themselves remain residential. Therefore, residents enjoy access without overstimulation.

A Lifestyle Shaped by Place

Emerald Hill does not rely on spectacle. Instead, it rewards attentiveness. Morning light filters through timber shutters. Evenings invite quiet walks past softly lit façades. Over time, these details shape daily life.

Figment amplifies this atmosphere through curation rather than excess. By blending heritage architecture with modern design and local artistry, Figment creates boutique coliving that feels both grounded and elevated.

For those seeking heritage stays, refined coliving, and thoughtfully designed short term rentals, Emerald Hill stands apart. With Figment, this historic enclave becomes more than an address. It becomes a lived experience of Singapore’s cultural continuity—interpreted for contemporary life.
