27 March 2025Carpark Spaces Reimagined (CSR)
Fishing Village, Circular Road
Since December 2018, Singapore River One has repurposed 31 carpark lots on Circular Road.
These lots have been transformed into attractive public spaces for the CBD community and visitors to utilize and enjoy. Through CSR, SRO sought to bring out the theme of “People”, as the streets of Circular Road and Lorong Telok form the Chinese character “人” when seen from the aerial view. People are what makes the street unique and full of character, and through this re-branding, SRO envisioned Circular Road as a street that people can associate with unwinding, chilling out and having a good time.
Monthly street activations adding vibrancy to the street
Some of the activities curated during Circular Road’s weekend street closures were acoustic live music performances, group exercises and roving magician acts to create a sense of liveliness!

A collaboration with students from Raffles Design Institute (RDI)
SRO worked with students from RDI’s Interior Design, Product Design and Visual Communications faculties to create parklet design proposals specially for Circular Road. This marked the third collaboration between SRO and RDI, after our Underpass Mural and Street Furniture projects, to realise our placemaking ideas. As one of our valued stakeholders in the precinct, RDI shares SRO’s passion in placemaking projects by incorporating them as part of the students’ academic curriculum. Through such collaborations, SRO hopes to nurture young talents in real practical projects.
Through consultations with our stakeholders, 2 shortlisted designs were identified and installed in March 2020.
Urban Green-scape
Biophilic
This design promotes a mutual love and respect for our living system. Biophilia means “love of life”, and the design seeks to connect or integrate natural elements and living things into buildings and achieve sustainability in different ways.
