Introduction to Ikigai
16 Homes at 38 Shrewsbury Road, District 11
One Block of 5 Storeys With an Attic and 16 Homes

Ikigai has 16 homes in one block of 5 storeys with an attic: four stacks, numbered 01 to 04, on the 2nd to 5th storeys, over an entrance and car park at the 1st storey. The car park has 13 lots and 1 accessible lot, of which 1 provides electric vehicle charging, and the Bicycle Park has 4 lots. The three penthouses are on the 5th storey, each with an attic floor above.
16 Homes in 7 Layouts From 603 to 1,915 sqft
The 16 homes are drawn as 7 layouts in 6 bands: 3 of 1 Bedroom + Study Room, 4 of 1 Bedroom + Study Space, 3 of 2 Bedroom Premium, 3 of 2 Bedroom + Study Room Premium, 2 of 3 Bedroom Penthouse and 1 of 3 Bedroom + Study Room Penthouse. Every band is set out with its drawings in the floor plans for all 7 layouts at Ikigai, and 360 tours of all seven home types are on the virtual tour page of Ikigai.
Swimming Pool, Gym and Kids Pool at the 1st Storey

All of the facilities are at the 1st storey: a swimming pool, a kids pool, a gym, an outdoor shower and a sheltered pavilion, with a bicycle park and the lift lobby. The site plan legend numbers 15 items, and every one is listed on the project info page of Ikigai.
Japanese Wabi-Sabi and Scandinavian Hygge in Grey, Granite and Timber
The name Ikigai is the Japanese word for a way of living that fuses passion, purpose and mission. The interiors combine Japanese wabi-sabi, the beauty in imperfection, with the Scandinavian notion of hygge, or cosiness, in natural materials, muted colours and clean lines, and the architect, Yip Yuen Hong of ipli Architects, describes the exterior as grey, almost black, with dark tinted glass curtain walling.
Granite Baths, Quartz Kitchens and Motorised Balcony Screens

The bathrooms are finished in granite and the kitchens have quartz countertops and backsplashes, with induction hobs, an integrated fridge freezer and a washer-dryer. The living areas have engineered timber flooring and/or homogenous tiles, and the approved balcony screen is a motorised zip track screen with 40% porosity.
