Simple minimalist design in the bedroom
The project was designed by Daniel Libeskind. He's the architect who created the World Trade Center Memorial.
The project is overlooking Marina at Keppel Bay
According to Reflections's website, the project is set in lush and expansive grounds. The waterfront development features six high rise towers, some linked by sky bridges, and spacious low rise villas. The Libeskind development will sit on a land size of approximately 84,000 square metres with an extensive shoreline of 750 metres.
Every detail and aspect of design will optimise interaction with the sea and the commanding panoramic views of its scenic surrounds.

See, mémé is so excited about the interior of Reflections
Mémé has just arrived from Switzerland to stay with us for 6 weeks. She's curious about almost everything in this city state. She thinks Singapore is a paradise on earth. She even praises the hot weather. "Oh, you don't know Angie, it's so cold in Switzerland right now. You don't want to be there."
At the entrance of the show flat, I asked her again, "So mémé, do you want to have a look at this show flat? Perhaps you can buy one here to retire."
"And why not? Let's have a look."
Yeah, that was before we looked at the price tag.

Very neat design in the toilet
There are only 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom flats on show. The size, at 91 sq m (980 sq ft) for a 2 bedroom flat and 138 sq m (1485 sq ft) for a 3 bedroom, is relatively small by European standard.
Dry kitchen area where all the appliances are provided by Miele, a German brand
The estate agent quoted us a price of SGD$1.92 mio (at SGD$2,207 psf) for a 2 bedroom flat located on the 10th floor. The size is ranging from 81 to 88 sq m (872-947 sq ft)! Extremely tiny!
Wet kitchen for messy Chinese cooking
The price tag for the 2 bedroom flat on the 11th floor is a cool SGD$2.03 mio (at SGD$2,217 psf). This one has a size ranging from 82 to 85 sq m (883-915 sq ft). And the price doesn't even include furnishings in the flat!
Living area where all the furniture is from Giorgetti, a famous Italian brand
At this price one can easily get a much bigger flat, say in Zurich. The property prices in Singapore have clearly shot through the roof in the past years though there's been a sign of slowing down recently.
A second bedroom with Sentosa Island at the background
Crazy prices as they are, but they come with the Daniel Libeskind fame. For some people, this is like buying scarf with Hermès brand attached to it. It's a matter of prestige. But of course, for some, a scarf made in China offers the same functionality.
The study. Again, it's like a fashion model clothed exclusively by Giorgetti
My dream home is a big house with a lovely garden. If possible, I don't want to live in high rise building. Inside my house I want minimalist design which offers simple decor, clean lines and the least volume of furnishing.
Bedroom with very limited space
On the way out, mémé said, shaking her head in disbelief, "This is a dream home. Far too expensive but I like it very much!"
Yes indeed, with the ideal location and the condo facilities offered, not to forget a marina where buyers can dock their big boats and a golf course right next door.
Is this your dream home?
