New venture in one-north offers 21 hawker stalls and 14 restaurant brands in an industrial-chic environment.

Food may not be the first thing people think about when it comes to the Timbre Group. It is better known for its live music venues, music festivals and pizza parlour 12-inch Pizzas & Records.

But that is changing. It has embarked on its most ambitious food and beverage venture so far, one that has been three years in the making. 

The 24,000 sq ft Timbre+ has opened at JTC Corporation's LaunchPad at one-north, just across the road from Fusionopolis, a research and development complex in Ayer Rajah.

The sprawling 700-seat non- air-conditioned venue houses 21 hawkers and 14 restaurant brands, and will cater to the working population of more than 40,000 in the one-north district.

JTC tore down the canteen that used to occupy the site and built a larger space for Timbre+. Large containers are part of the industrial- chic aesthetic, complete with vibrant graffiti designs.

Instead of the usual hawker centre-type stalls, some stallholders will operate out of repurposed containers, while others serve and cook food in specially imported Airstream caravans from the United States, food-truck style.

There are also dedicated restaurant spaces in Timbre+ for some brands, good for 20 to 30 diners.
