020_condensing city


There are not so many places for tourists in Singapore. Boat Quay is one on the list not to be missed out. Nice restaurants serving chilled drinks and good food lining up along the Singapore River boasts to be one of the country’s best attractions. My Colombian classmate from Delft mentioned during his last visit to Singapore that when he typed in the keyword ‘market’ into Getty Images search engine, pictures of Boat Quay appeared on the first few pages. Step aside from the bustling flow of tourists to the back lanes of Boat Quay, you will find something really phenomenal, a city of air-con condensing unit. The narrow streets are filled with noise and hot air generating from those little flying boxes. These old shop houses were designed for residential or small business purposes, once converted to restaurants, discos or bars, you kinda need a good M&E engineer to keep the building looking good from every angle.
